OctoparseReviews of octoparse.com

My experience with Octoparse was great overall! I found the platform easy to use and effective for my data collection needs. For my university project involving Reddit data, Octoparse helped streamline the scraping process and made it much easier to gather the information I needed. The interface was intuitive, and the available features were sufficient for completing my project successfully. 😊

I have had such an amazing experience dealing with Alexis at Octoparse during my free trial. She was patient and provided the guidance and support we needed for the project we had. I loved the experience so much, I had a custom template created and signed up for a monthly subscription.

They tried to pay me to write a 5-star review. After gotten help with a support question they wrote this in the chat: "We are currently inviting users to write a 5-star review for us on Trust Pilot, and as a thank you, you can receive an extra 15 days on your Basic Plan. Would you be interested in this offer?" I was very offended that they tried to do this to manipulate their TrustPilot score. A serious company with a great product would not need to do this. A clear red flag. When it comes to the product I think it is an OK product, definitely not great. There are things that cause friction when doing even simple webscraping. It easily mess up and I would have thought by now that it would be "smarter" and find the right data even if there are some small deviations between pages. Whenever you work with loops it get tricky very fast and pagination is not very intuitive. You have to learn by trial and error and make adjustments often. It is way to 'sensitive' and error-prone and I rarely get all the data I need.

I’ve been using Octoparse for data extraction and lead generation, and overall, it’s a helpful tool. The best part is that it doesn’t require coding, and once you get used to it, the interface is quite manageable. However, credit usage can be a concern, especially for large projects or when dealing with duplicates. Overall, it’s a good option for non-technical users who need web scraping.

They charged me $119 even though I only tried it once and it DIDNT work. Then they refused to refund me and sent a snarky response. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. AVOID OCTOPARSE AT ALL COSTS.

I've been using Octoparse for my personal projects. I've signed up with the 14-day standard trial and the experience has been great so far. There are bunch of templates you could use to scrape data. I'm using Twitter Scraper which costs $0.3/1000 lines. There are several ways you can earn free credits in order to pay for templates - mine is through completing "Beginner Checklist" where there are tasks for you to do as parts of on-boarding process. I had once encountered a free credit issue but the service team helped me very well. I will give an update on this review after finishing the free trial.

Perfect tool. It does what it says it does. But the best part is the service from the team. I even shared my project and they made me an online tutorial to help me out with my project. A 15 day project finished in 1 1/2 hours. Thank you Yina and all the Octoparse team.
