Trendilens vs DIY TikTok scraper
DIY looks cheap until the first layout change. Then you maintain access instead of collecting comments.
DIY wins when
- In-house engineers on call
- Exotic fields beyond comments
- You accept ongoing breakage risk
Trendilens wins when
- Marketing/agency time > infra
- Need threads, search, timer, API together
- Prefer pay-per-comment predictability
