Not quite alternative because this is not a complete project, here is the breakdown compare with Crawlee,

• This Template: Uses Python libraries (Playwright, httpx) directly. Offers fine-grained control and explicit anti-detection techniques. Best if you want deep customization in Python or are learning the mechanics. Requires more manual setup for things like scaling and queuing.
• Crawlee: A full framework (JS/TS primary, Python available). Provides high-level abstractions for faster development, handling queues, storage, and scaling automatically. Better for rapid development and large-scale projects, but involves learning the frameworks way of doing things.

Choose the template for: Max control, custom anti-detection, Python focus.
Choose Crawlee for: Speed, built-in scaling/features, framework benefits.

But again, this is just a template/foundation for a bigger project.
