Best for point-and-click scraping into sheets and APIs
Simplescraper lets you point at a web page, pick what to collect and send it to Google Sheets, Airtable or Zapier. Scraping is metered in credits and the scrape APIs start on the $70 Pro plan.
Who Simplescraper is for
- Fits if you collect prices, listings or leads from web pages without code
- Works for people who send scraped data to a spreadsheet on a schedule
Who Simplescraper is not for
- Tight if you scrape at volume on Free, since only 5-page browser runs are free
- Skip it if you need the API on a cheap plan, as the APIs start on Pro at $70 a month
- Watch out: credits meter longer runs and cloud scraping, and the page does not say whether prices are monthly or annual rates
Why Simplescraper gets a 2.2

Keep Simplescraper, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Simplescraper you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $468 a year.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Simplescraper’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
