Choose a platform that fits your workflow
The entries cover web, API, Windows and Linux use, with some also showing browser extension or macOS support.
Check whether a tool runs where you need it before comparing plans. API and web access suit different setups than desktop software.
Look for an available free plan
A free-plan option is listed for Apify, Bright Data Web Scraper, Browse AI, Data Miner, Diffbot, Octoparse, ParseHub and ScraperAPI.
Hexomatic does not show a free plan. Review the plan terms before choosing a starting point.
Review trial periods separately
The listed trial lengths are 14 days for Octoparse and 7 days for ScraperAPI. A trial and a free plan are separate offers, so check which term applies to the tool you want.
Review the published paid rates
Published starting rates put Apify at $19 per month, Diffbot at $299 per month and Octoparse at $69 per month with annual billing.
OutWit Hub Pro has a one-time listed price of €69.
