Jsonify vs Octoparse

Configure a scraping task, or describe the dataset.

Octoparse offers a visual scraping application, templates and cloud runs. Jsonify starts from a brief and builds the collection and verification steps needed to publish your dataset.

What to compare in an evaluation

Octoparse also offers crawler setup and a managed data service that maintains custom datasets. Compare the self-serve application with Jsonify self-serve, or scope both managed offerings. A template limit, an exported row and a maintained source are different things to budget.

Octoparse: product details

Look at the run after the source changes.

A retailer moves its price field. Jason diagnoses the failed step, repairs the code and checks a sample before activating a new revision.

Look for the revision, the verification result and the next published run. Repairs that cannot be verified need further investigation.

  • Cloud runs and scheduling
  • Unlimited data export
  • You configure the scraping task for each site

Starting price: $69 / month · Standard, billed annually

Assumptions and sources

  • Public product pages, no login.
  • Starts from known product URLs; finding them isn’t included.
  • 1,000 product–retailer records per refresh, so rows a month = 1,000 × refreshes.
  • Cheapest suitable plan on monthly billing, including required usage and add-ons.
  • Standard allows 3 concurrent cloud processes; whether higher refresh rates finish in time depends on page speed.
  • Proxies ($3 per GB) and CAPTCHA solving are extra if a site needs them.

Your time (our estimate). Our estimate, from what each tool’s own documentation asks you to do. Setup covers getting the first scheduled run delivering; upkeep assumes about one layout change per site each quarter.

Jsonify: Write the brief, attach the URL list and review Jason’s sample. Jason repairs breakages; you read the repair notes.

Octoparse: Build a task for each site. Octoparse’s docs list self-repair as coming soon, and its help centre says you update the selectors.
