Choosing well
Choose a platform that fits your workflow
Web and API options suit browser-based or programmatic work. Browse AI lists both Web and API platforms, while Bright Data Web Scraper lists API support and Import.io Aperture lists API and web.
For a desktop setup, OutWit Hub lists Windows, macOS and Linux. ScrapeStorm lists Windows and Linux, while Data Miner is listed as a browser extension.
Check the plan before you start
Look for a free plan when comparing tools; Apify, Bright Data Web Scraper, Browse AI, Data Miner, Diffbot, Octoparse, ParseHub, ScraperAPI and ScrapingBee list one. Hexomatic is listed without a free plan.
Paid pricing varies. Apify starts paid plans at $19 per month; Octoparse starts at $69 per month on an annual plan; OutWit Hub Pro costs €69 one time.
Use trial access carefully
Octoparse offers 14 days of trial access, whereas ScraperAPI offers seven days. A trial can help you check whether the platform and workflow fit before paying.
Read the plan terms and confirm what happens when trial access ends, especially if your work depends on continued API or web access.
Choose visual or API access
A web interface can suit tasks you set up in a browser. For code-driven collection and integrations, API options include Bright Data Web Scraper, Browse AI and Import.io Aperture.
If you need to read or change code, check the tool's licence and documentation before committing to a workflow.
