"The best serverless cloud scraper with advance features"

5/5

What do you like best about Octoparse?

The best thing about octoparse is that we don't need any scripting knowledge. In this, we have to enter the website, and then it will fetch the data we want, and its accuracy is fantastic. It doesn't scrape any garbage data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octoparse?

The pricing plans are too high, and if I want to scrape a captcha-protected website, then I have to purchase the $89/month plan, and it's too costly if we only want to scrape one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
