Strictly speaking, Prospector isn't an alternative to flake8, but to PyLint. The verbosity of PyLint with default settings is the main critique of Prospector's author. He's running a nice service, by the way, Landscape. Very nice and free for Open Source projects. https://landscape.io/
I'm using flake8 as a quality gateway for deployments (commits that pass flake8 are deployed automatically), and Landscape (prospector) as a measurement tool for code health.
