ParseHub review

ParseHub is one of the older visual scrapers and still works well for straightforward jobs. You click elements in its desktop app to extract text, images or attributes, and it copes with JavaScript pages, logins, infinite scroll, forms and dropdowns. Runs happen on ParseHub's servers, and results come out as CSV or JSON, through a REST API and webhooks, or into Google Sheets and Tableau. The free plan allows 200 pages per run across 5 public projects with 14 days of data retention, which is enough for a student or journalist testing an idea, and schools can get free Standard licenses. Paid plans are where it falls behind. Standard costs $189 a month for 10,000 pages per run and 20 private projects, and Professional costs $599 for unlimited pages and 120 projects. Newer no-code tools offer AI-built scrapers, templates and stronger anti-blocking for less, so ParseHub ranks last for teams working at scale.
