While there are no direct competitors, substitutes for 80legs fall into three segments: internal datacenters, cloud computing providers (e.g., AWS), and third-party Web services (e.g., Yahoo! BOSS). 80legs provides more functionality and performance at a lower cost than all segments.

Market Opportunity
Research is limited, but we can extrapolate market size. Wikipedia receives 33 million crawls/day across 16.5 million pages. There are approximately 1 trillion pages. If average pages receive 0.75 crawls/day, there are 750 million crawls/day, which places our market size at $1.1 billion.
