Software Support is Amazing
I really like this tool due to the support and expertise that I received while being a customer of the product. The support desk agents have always gone above and beyond providing me with insights on SEO and helping me debug my code. I have been a customer for 6+ years and the product is simple to use. I would highly recommend anyone using a single-page application to use prerender.
CONSI have been so blown away by my experience with prerender I have nothing negative to say.

Life saver tool for modern websites built with Javascript frameworks
I was struggling to get a decent Pagespeed Insights (PSI) score for my React website https://squaredeal.tax/. Even in 2021, search engines and their crawlers are not up to speed with modern websites developed with JS frameworks/libraries. (Angular, React, Vue etc). People suggested Server Side Rendering (SSR). But, my development was done. I didn't want to redo everything. While looking for a suitable solution, I came across prerender.io. I gave it a try, since it didn't require any development efforts. Setup was easy. After configuring Cloudflare workers (since my site is behind Cloudflare), I was very pleased with the PSI score! It was green!
PROS* Easy setup * Free plan to get started and try out the software * View of cached pages * Crawler visit logs * Cloudflare workers These are some of the features I keep using often.
CONSDocumentation has scope for improvement.

Easy quick-start page caching for Single Page Applications
The platform itself is really simple. Not elegant. But simple. A bit too simple. A bit more control from within their dashboard would have bene nice. Also, the ability to select and delete more than 1 page of cached pages at a time would be really helpful. Our initial implementation cached all pages, including individual user-account pages. So the pages cached grew tremendously and needlessly. A filter on their end to filter out all pages behind a subdirectory would have been easy, but we ended up having to handle this on our end using our own developer. In the end, Prerender.io is a quick solution, but not an optimal one.
PROSPrerender.io was a quick solution for when Bing.com was unable to index Single Page Applications. As a small website, Prerender.io was a reasonable solution.
CONSAs our website evolved, traffic grew, and technology inevitably changed, the value proposition of Prerender.io became obsolete for us since we could build an in-house solution for much less than the cost paid to Prerender.io, as well as target the page caching much more efficiently.
Reason for choosing Prerender
Availability and ease of use.

Prerender helped us to make our SPA visible by search engines
As a startup and having a SPA website it was not easy for us to have high rankings by search engines. Our most important task was visibility by search engines. All I want was better search engine rating because they couldn't render the site correctly for a long period time and we accomplished this with help of Prerender. Now we have high visibility and speed score.
PROSI have been using the product for 2 years without any problem. Integration was quite easy. Recently I moved into a paid account. They have affordable and good planned package types which we like.
CONSI don't remember any bug or feature at the moment.

Solved our client-side-rendering issue
We were frustrated to learn that client-side rendering in React effectively neutralised any ability to utilise accurate on-site analytics, or get our pages indexed in SERPs. Outside of rebuilding with Next.js, I found Prerender - a very specific tool to solve a very specific problem. And solve it, it did.
CONSIf anything, and I'm sure there's probably a solution, but I found that Prerender sometimes cached multiples of the same root URL, but with random query strings suffixed.
Vendor Response
Hi Lachlan, thank you for your review! Yes, there is indeed a solution for caching multiple of the same root URL. Reach to us and we'll help with that and explain why and when that happens.
