How is TornadoAPI different from Apify or Bright Data?

Apify and Bright Data are general proxy providers where video download is one feature among many. For TornadoAPI, dedicated YouTube and Spotify video extraction is the whole product. We offer contractual SLA (99.5-99.9% depending on tier), 99.9998% extraction rate measured in production over the last 30 days, direct cloud delivery with zero egress, and founder-level Slack access. We're not a side product.

Why aren't your prices listed publicly?

We don't compete on entry price, we compete on production reliability for video at scale. Pricing depends on your monthly volume, target SLA, and migration scope, so we share a tailored quote after a short qualification call. Request access and we'll walk through the math on your specific workload.

What if I'm currently scraping in-house with yt-dlp + proxies?

A social media publishing platform we work with was running yt-dlp + 3,000-4,000 proxies before us, eating 10-15 hrs/week of eng time on maintenance. After switching, their public testimonial: "Most reliable by far. Truly feels like a partnership." We do white-glove migration from yt-dlp on every paid tier, included.

Do you handle Spotify podcast videos?

Yes. We handle Spotify podcast video downloads at scale (episode-level + show-level batch + webhook all-jobs-complete). Audio-only episodes are skipped because they are Widevine-encrypted, by legal compliance design.

What about compliance and security review?

SOC 2 Type 2 attestation in progress for the Enterprise tier. GDPR DPA pre-signed via Common Paper templates included on Scale and Enterprise tiers. SSO/SAML available on Enterprise. We can also run a paid pilot scoped to your champion's discretionary spend to skip the procurement rabbit hole upfront.

What's your guarantee if it doesn't work?

30-day money-back on Starter and Growth tiers if SLA missed. 60-day opt-out on Scale tier. 100% money-back on Enterprise if not in production within 90 days post-signature. Plus performance bonus credits at scale across tiers.
