Frequently asked questions

Questions people actually ask

Do I need to write code or selectors?
No. You describe what you want in plain language, and it returns structured columns.
What happens when the site's layout changes?
It understands the page semantically rather than by position, so it survives layout changes that break traditional scrapers.
Can it keep the data up to date?
Yes. Schedule an extraction and the spreadsheet refreshes itself, with a change log. Change alerts are on the 149 dollar plan.
Can I try it without an account?
Yes. Extract up to 200 rows instantly, with no account, and export the results straight away.
Which pages will it not scrape?
It respects robots directives and rate limits by default, and refuses pages behind authentication that you do not own, saying so clearly.
What does it cost?
Free for 200 rows a month. 39 dollars a month covers 25,000 rows and scheduled refresh, and 149 dollars a month covers 200,000 rows with API access and change alerts.
Is there an enterprise option?
Yes, with dedicated infrastructure.
Why should I trust the manual-work cost calculator?
It is plain arithmetic on the numbers you put in, worked out in your browser. Change any input and every figure updates, so you can check each one yourself.
