Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 54 of the 134 other automation tools we grade
Simplescraper turns pages into datasets: select the data on a site through a Chrome extension or the dashboard, and it can run on a schedule and deliver results to Google Sheets, Airtable, Zapier, webhooks or an AI agent. It also offers bulk scraping, AI extraction, change monitoring and an API.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Simplescraper, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You build each scraper on a page, and credits need watching.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $39 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $39 per month, billing term not shown.
- 3
There is a free plan
Browser runs of up to 5 pages are free, with 100 starting credits for longer runs and cloud scraping.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Point-and-click scrapers
Click the data you want on a page and it becomes a scraper, used through the Chrome extension or the dashboard.
- 6
Bulk scraping
Run a scraper over a list of links, such as a thousand product pages at once, and collect the rows into one dataset.
- 7
AI extraction
Describe the data you want in plain language and the page is returned as a table, Markdown or JSON.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 54 of 134
That is against the other automation tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Plus is $39 a month, between the cheapest quarter ($13.49) and the dearer quarter ($50) of automation tools. The listing does not say whether that is a monthly or annual rate. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free tier covers browser runs of up to 5 pages, with 100 starting credits for longer runs and cloud scraping, so you will hit the cap. |
| Features | C | Point-and-click scrapers, bulk scraping, AI extraction, scheduling and change monitoring. The scrape, screenshot and AI extraction APIs only start on Pro. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build each scraper on a page, and credits need watching. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web app plus a Chrome extension, with Google Sheets, Airtable and Zapier listed. No desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Collecting prices, listings, leads or job postings without writing code
- Feeding scraped data into spreadsheets or other apps on a schedule
Worth knowing
- The pricing section does not say whether the monthly prices assume monthly or annual billing.
- Scraping is metered in credits, and longer runs and cloud scraping use them.
- The scrape, screenshot and AI extraction APIs start on the Pro plan.
- The pricing shown sits on the homepage; no separate detailed pricing page was readable.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
