Octoparse is a visual scraper aimed at business users. You can start from a ready template, let the AI assistant set up a task or click through a page yourself, then run the job on your own machine or in Octoparse Cloud, which splits big jobs into parallel subtasks on real browsers and rotates IPs. The free plan includes 10 tasks and 50,000 rows of monthly export, which is enough to learn the tool. Standard costs $69 a month billed annually for 100 tasks, 3 concurrent cloud processes and 500+ templates, while Professional at $249 raises that to 250 tasks and 20 cloud processes and adds direct saves to Google Sheets, Google Drive, Dropbox and S3. Residential proxies cost $3 per GB and CAPTCHA solving $1 to $1.5 per thousand. Paid plans carry a 5-day money-back guarantee. For the price, Browse AI is simpler for monitoring and API tools are cheaper at scale.
