| FETCH | OTHER PROVIDERS | |
| Scalability |
The most scalable technology due to its use of machine learning, pattern recognition and parallel processing. One Fetch customer aggregates news from tens of thousands of websites, and Fetch aggregates over 6 million blogs for one customer |
Competitive technologies don’t scale effectively, requiring significant capital investment and manual effort. |
| Accuracy | Fetch’s precision technology provides very high levels of accuracy by targeting specific data on each web page | Lower accuracy due to reliance on mechanical elements of web pages |
| Normalization | Automated Fetch transformation tools make disparate data useful | Most competitors don’t offer any type of data normalization |
| Ease of use |
Can be used by non-engineers to produce data Fetch monitoring tools notify users when agents don’t return proper data |
Requires expensive engineers to operate |
| Reliability | Very high levels of reliability due to the use of pattern recognition | Competitors’ agents tend to be brittle and require extensive rework to fix due to their mechanical nature |
| Return on investment | High ROI due to high accuracy, uptime and scale | Lower ROI due to agent breakage, high maintenance costs, and scaling issues |
