PhantomBuster
PhantomBuster is not a business intelligence tool, and should not be used with that expectation. It's made to scrape data, making it easy for those less tech-savy or scraping data from searches. It's up to the user to determine what you get out of this tool. We used two templates mostly, the Linkedin search scraper, and the Google Maps scraper. We are sponsors of several business organizations, so we would use the sales NAVIGATOR filter to pull people who are also part of those groups as their members. The Google Maps template as I explained previously was fundamental to push our Google Business Profile consulting. As an example, if you're looking to scrape contact data from a chamber of commerce directory, this is the perfect tool.

Open Source
Spyder is an open-source Python IDE designed for the movement of data science work. Spyder comes with an Anaconda package manager distribution, so depending on your setup you may have installed it on your machine.
Spyder includes most of the "standard IDE" features you can expect, such as a strong syntax code editor, Python code rendering, and an integrated text browser.
Spyder is used when we want to develop a code that is useful and able to explore proper documentation of the code that has been written. We use Spyder to perform data-related operations like filtration, cleaning, and enhancing the data qualities. There some cases where it is less appropriate like working in an environment, creating dashboards of data visualizations and plots.

First of all, PhantomBuster comes at a very low price point for us. We're more than happy to keep paying it just based on that. Price is not the only motivator alone though. PhantomBuster makes pulling the information you need very easy. Myself and my team require little support to run this tool and we also appreciate efficiency.

Most of data scientists or data engineers are either using ec2 on the cloud or Atom or PyCharm locally. It is a bit hard to find people who are still using Spyder and have the sight of the IDE and can help you to answer your question.

I don't really have the opportunity to test another Data Extraction tool like Phantombuster. When I started my job they already have bought this tool so I learned how to use it and honestly I do not have any need to change it. I think Phantombuster is the best for this

I think Spyder doesn't stack up as well as other IDEs due to its many limitations. But it is available for free and that is one advantage it has over its competitors
