SCRAPING & DATA EXTRACTION
Octoparse
Paid links. We earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It never changes our ranking — see how we rank.
Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
Visual web scraping without code: point at the data you want, and it builds and runs the scraper on a schedule, in the cloud or locally.
Who it is for
Non-developers who need data from websites regularly.
Where it is strongest
Recurring extraction from a stable site — price monitoring, listings, directories — set up once by someone who cannot code.
Where it falls short
Breaks on redesigns and needs rebuilding. Serious bot protection defeats it. And the terms of the site you are scraping remain your responsibility.
Our verdict
Recommended for non-technical recurring scraping. For anything that must not break, a maintained solution is more honest.
Editorial assessment. We earn a commission on some links; it does not change the ranking.
