Short version: Octoparse is the safer choice when your team already has working tasks, templates, training, or approvals tied to its ecosystem. Choose Scrapeer when you want the scraper to stay an editable browser Flow with local testing, reusable values, outputs, and a lower paid entry price.

Use Scrapeer when the work looks like a browser routine: open pages, click filters, reuse values, extract rows, write to Sheets, and run locally before spending Credits on Cloud Runs. Build the Flow by hand or ask Copilot to draft the same blocks for review.
Octoparse can make sense when your team already has working Octoparse tasks, internal training around Octoparse, procurement approval for Octoparse, or migration costs that are not worth paying yet.
Scrapeer Octoparse Scrapeer Basic is €20/month or €200/year. With an active subscription, local workflows run without credits; credits are used for Cloud Runs.
Octoparse Standard is listed at $119/month on monthly billing, or $99/month when billed yearly, which is $1,188/year. Professional is listed at $299/month on monthly billing, or $249/month when billed yearly, which is $2,988/year.
Scrapeer starts from browser steps. Add Go To URL, Click, Extract Data, loops, and outputs on the canvas, or let Copilot draft those blocks for review.
Octoparse organizes work around task setup, auto-detect, and templates. That model works well when your team already thinks in Octoparse tasks or wants to stay inside its ecosystem.
Use named variables inside URLs, filters, prompts, and output steps, so a Flow can run with different search terms, pages, or destinations.
Octoparse supports URL lists, generated URL parameters, and task inputs. Those values are configured as part of the task setup.
When a run returns empty rows, you edit the relevant Block with its selector, browser state, and last output in front of you.
Octoparse provides run data, logs, screenshots, and cloud run details. Changes usually happen by editing the task, detection, or template setup.
Test with Desktop first. Move the same Flow to a Cloud Run when your machine should not run it, then add Scheduling only for repeat jobs.
Octoparse supports local extraction, cloud extraction, scheduling, concurrent cloud processes, and task monitoring on paid plans.
Send rows to Google Sheets, create spreadsheet files, call HTTP endpoints, send data to Zapier, or process extracted text with AI Blocks.
Octoparse supports file exports, databases, Google Sheets, cloud storage, Zapier, and API access depending on plan.
