Octoparse pricing (2026): free plan, Standard, Pro, verdict

What Octoparse is

Octoparse is a no-code web scraper from Octopus Data Inc., launched in 2016, that turns web pages into spreadsheets. You open a site in its desktop app, click the fields you want, and it builds a task that runs locally or in Octoparse’s cloud on a schedule, with preset templates for hundreds of common sites. In a cold email stack it sits at the very start: the tool that pulls prospects out of a directory, a map search or a listings page before enrichment, verification and sending.

Octoparse pricing explained

There is a free plan and three paid tiers, with yearly billing 16% cheaper than monthly. Free includes the desktop app, 10 tasks on one device, local runs only, 50,000 rows of export a month and 10,000 rows per export. Standard costs $83 a month, $239 a quarter or $829 a year, which works out at $69 a month, and adds 100 tasks on three devices, cloud extraction with up to three concurrent runs, the template library, IP rotation, residential proxies, automatic CAPTCHA solving, scheduling, unlimited export and the data export API. Professional costs $299 a month, $779 a quarter or $2,999 a year, or $249 a month, for 250 tasks on five devices, 20 concurrent cloud runs, task monitoring, export to Google Sheets, Drive, Dropbox and S3, the advanced API, priority support and one-to-one training. Enterprise is quoted for 750 or more tasks and 40 or more concurrent runs. Startups get 30% off for a year.

Add-ons are priced separately: residential proxies at $3 a GB, pay-per-result templates at $0.001 to $3 per thousand results, CAPTCHA solving at $1 to $1.50 per thousand, crawler setup from $399 and a managed data service from $599. The refund policy allows a refund on a new subscription or an accidental renewal within five days, case by case, with about 4% in processor fees deducted and payments after a trial excluded. Cancelling needs 7 days’ notice before a monthly renewal and 30 days before a yearly one, and fee changes come with 14 days’ notice.

Scraping, anti-blocking and exports

The builder records clicks and pagination into a workflow, and the templates skip that step for sites Octoparse already covers. On paid plans the cloud runs the tasks on rotating IPs with residential proxies and CAPTCHA solving, and schedules them to re-run. Results export as Excel, CSV or JSON, into MySQL, SQL, PostgreSQL or Oracle, to Google Sheets, or through the API, with cloud storage destinations on Professional.

Who Octoparse is for, and who should look elsewhere

Octoparse suits non-developers who need recurring lead lists from directories, maps and listings sites, with scheduling and anti-blocking handled for them. It is a poor fit for developers who would rather script or rent a marketplace of ready-made scrapers, or for anyone scraping one small site once, where the free plan or a browser extension does the job.

Octoparse alternatives

Browse AI is the other no-code scraper, priced on credits with monitoring built in. Instant Data Scraper is the free browser extension for one-off tables. Apify is the developer platform with a marketplace of ready-made scrapers. The enrichment and scraping category compares them.

Using Octoparse with PureMail

Octoparse produces the rawest kind of list, so treat the chain with care. Scrape the source into a sheet, enrich it for email addresses with a finder, verify every address, and only then load it into a sequencer sending from PureMail’s warmed Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 inboxes at a few dozen emails a day each. Keep personal-data law in mind for the people on the list; the scraper leaves that duty with you.
