Pros and cons

In summary, my overall experience was great and I'd highly recommend this tool to anyone out there.
Overall experience as been great and thank you for providing the APIs that I can't find anywhere else.
It was very good overall. I want to see more features in the future.
Very bad from the beginning, we have paid and used it for 6 months and regularly the API will break down and we consistenly lost money.
And the usual answer is go use the competition, instead of compensating on credits then it gets expired because their API is broken.
API is constantly broken and end up loosing all the monthly credits as it expires before using.

swiss army knife with valuable services and APIs

Reviewed 2 months ago

Overall, I will continue using the service as it provides good value for the price paid and the multitude of APIs and services available using a single credit account.

Pros

The API and the services provided were straightforward to get started with. Multiple services are provided using one API key to interact with all of them. The services provided are very useful and valuable for my day-to-day work.

Cons

Some endpoints are a little bit slower compared to other alternatives. The dashboard needs to be more responsive.

Scale enrichment at low cost

Reviewed 2 months ago

We created an enrichment automation very quickly, making it possible to scale the enrichment of all our CRM companies at a price much cheaper than all the current tools.

Pros

Piloterr is a great solution for scaling enrichment at low cost ! Documentation is well made and the API logs are clear !

Cons

Nothing to mention so far, it answers our needs for now.

Piloterr Review - Anjith

Reviewed 3 months ago

It was very good overall. I want to see more features in the future.

Pros

Its easy to use and has most of the features required for my use case with CrunchBase

Cons

I wish Piloterr could add more ways to query company info rather than the crunch base URL and adding news articles could have been there.

My experience...

Reviewed 4 months ago

In summary, my overall experience was great and I'd highly recommend this tool to anyone out there!

Pros

I love how cheap and efficient it is for scraping Crunchbase data in particular. I also loved how clear and easy-to-navigate their API documentation was - Makes life so much easier!

Cons

The only thing I didn't really like about Piloterr was that a handful of Crunchbase funding results for a particular UUID weren't 100% accurate. There weren't many, but a bit annoying all the same.

Vendor response

Hello Ruadhán, thanks for your feedback! Our support is available by chatbot on the website and on Discord to answer any questions, don't hesitate.

Frequent API breakdown, loss of credit and expires without one can use it

Reviewed 4 months ago

Very bad from the beginning, we have paid and used it for 6 months and regularly the API will break down and we consistenly lost money

Pros

Getting live web data is available and multiple APIs are available

Cons

API is constantly broken and end up loosing all the monthly credits as it expires before using. And the usual answer is go use the competition, instead of compensating on credits then it gets expired because their API is broken.

Vendor response

Hello Anand, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We deeply regret the inconvenience and frustration you’ve experienced with our service. We understand that the "frequent API breakdowns" and the resultant loss of monthly credits are significant issues. Ensuring our APIs are reliable and available is our top priority.

Best API on the Market

Reviewed 7 months ago
Pros

Cheap, flexible, and a lot of application ready that do not need a lot of setup. Team can help you configuring your script or api call, they are very reliable and fast to answer. Strong API, i never had any retry even with big amount of requets

Cons

Maybe the little lack of documentation but the team helps and if you're at least a little good it should do it.

Très bon outil, polyvalent et puissant ! 👍

Reviewed 2 years ago

Vérifications des emails, enrichissement de nos bases de données, la liste est longue !

Pros

La facilité d'intégration des APIs avec nos outils internes a vraiment aider à bien mettre en place les processus souhaités. De plus, les intégrations sont stables et permettent d'envoyer énormément de requêtes sans avoir de problème. L'UI est également très agréable.

Cons

Manque de documentation sur comment utiliser les endpoints et il est également difficile de vraiment comprendre le potentiel complet de cet outil, bien qu'il soit très puissant.
