Octoparse alternatives
Octoparse has no public price for 100,000 JavaScript pages a month, so no saving can be worked out against it. The lowest complete bills for the same job are ScrapeBadger at $49.00, ScrapingDog at $90.00, Scrape.do at $99.00.
Why Octoparse has no price here: Octoparse plans limit tasks and cloud runs, not pages or rows, so a bill for a page job cannot be calculated.
Prices read on each vendor's own pricing page; dates on every row. How we check prices

Two kinds of alternative
Octoparse is a no-code tool priced by plan, so the table cannot set a page bill for it beside the APIs. The alternatives fall into two groups. Other no-code tools keep the point-and-click workflow: Webscraper.io charges one URL credit per page loaded in its cloud, Browse AI charges credits per row and screenshot, and Thunderbit charges a credit per output row in its Chrome extension. Scraping APIs, priced below for the same job, suit you once someone on the team writes code: you send a URL and get the page, billed per page.
Who should stay with Octoparse
Stay when your jobs are a fixed set of sites that you build and adjust by clicking, its ready-made templates cover your targets, and the task count and cloud runs of your plan are enough. A flat plan has no per-page bill, so a heavy month on few tasks costs the same as a light one. (Octoparse pricing, plan-based and usage-based charges, checked Oct 11, 2026.)
What a switch must replace
A scraping API replaces Octoparse’s fetching, rendering and proxies but not its task builder: the selectors, pagination and scheduling Octoparse sets up by clicking become code. Its residential proxy and CAPTCHA add-ons, billed apart from the plan, are part of most scraping APIs’ protected-site rates, so compare at the protected rate if your sites block bots.
