--- title: "Octoparse alternative with nothing to rebuild" description: "Recurring data extraction that repairs itself when a site changes, checks every row and charges one price per row, with no proxy or CAPTCHA add-ons. Compare it with your Octoparse data for free." url: "https://www.jsonify.com/migrate/octoparse/" --- ![](/assets/images/competitors/octoparse.ico)Octoparse ![Jsonify](/assets/images/logo.svg) Octoparse alternative # Data extraction with nothing to rebuild. When a site changes its layout, an Octoparse task usually needs a new XPath or a rebuilt workflow before it runs again. Jsonify repairs the extraction on its own, checks a sample and keeps your schedule, so your client gets the data on time. [See pricing](https://www.jsonify.com/migrate/octoparse/#pricing) Your first 100 rows each month are free. Put them next to what your Octoparse task collects and decide for yourself. No credit card. Since 2023 we’ve extracted billions of data points for teams at * ![Bacardi](/assets/images/logos/bacardi.png) * ![PwC](/assets/images/logos/pwc.png) * ![Helicone](/assets/images/logos/helicone-mono.png) * ![Geopost](/assets/images/logos/geopost.png) * ![Betaworks](/assets/images/logos/betaworks.png) * ![Norlys](/assets/images/logos/norlys.png) * ![Plug and Play](/assets/images/logos/pnp.png) * ![Mintlify](/assets/images/logos/mintlify.svg) * ![The Grants Hub](/assets/images/logos/grantshub.png) * ![Prediction News Network](/assets/images/logos/pnn.png) ## What comes off your plate. * **Fixing XPaths after a redesign.**If a site changes, Jsonify repairs the extraction and checks a sample before the next run. You see the fix in the run history. * **Cleaning rows before a client sees them.**Duplicates, blanks and half-loaded pages are caught before delivery. Each row keeps its source page and collection time. * **Building workflows click by click.**Describe the job once, across every site you need, and Jsonify sets it up. There’s no desktop app to learn. * **Paying extra for proxies and CAPTCHAs.**You pay per row delivered, whichever site it comes from, so you can quote a client a fixed price.

Here’s my Octoparse task: it tracks 800 products across two retailers every morning and exports to Google Sheets. **Jsonify**I’ll collect the same 800 products from both retailers every day at 06:00, with price, promotion and stock. Here are the first rows to check against your export: | Product | Retailer | Price | Stock | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Oat drink 1L | Greenway | £2.20 | In stock | | Oat drink 1L | Hartwell’s | £2.40 | In stock | | Coffee beans 250g | Fresco | £4.80 | Low | Illustrative example. ## When a site changes, here’s what happens. * **18m 46s[\[1\]](https://www.jsonify.com/migrate/octoparse/#mg-note-1)**Median time from a failed run to a verified repair * **$0**Charged for the failed run, the retries or the repair * **6,178[\[2\]](https://www.jsonify.com/migrate/octoparse/#mg-note-2)**Websites and apps Jsonify has already learned, so most jobs start from a known site \[1\] Median, failed run to verified repair, all pipelines, trailing 30 days, last updated Sept 2026. \[2\] Sources Jsonify has learned from websites and apps it has already collected from. ## One price per row.

Jsonify charges one rate for each row that passes its checks and reaches you. Failed runs, retries and repairs are on us, so a hard site doesn’t blow up the month. Free to compare $0/ month 100 rows every month, free. Enough to check a job against your current data. Above that, [per-row pricing](https://www.jsonify.com/pricing) applies, with a $49 monthly minimum. * Setup and previews are free * Retries and repairs are free * No compute, proxy or credit charges ## Questions before you try it.

When it does, Jsonify repairs the extraction and checks a sample before the next run. The median time from a failed run to a verified repair is under 20 minutes, you aren’t charged for any of it, and every fix shows in the run history. Will it work on my clients’ sites? Jsonify works with public websites and apps, and the free rows show you what it can collect before you pay anything. You can connect your own account to some sources, but not social media profiles, and not for personal contact details.

You can also share a dashboard link with a client, or work with the data in Claude, ChatGPT or Codex. [See how to connect →](https://www.jsonify.com/connect) What if I need more than self-serve?
