Octoparse Pricing 2026: Plans, Features, and Best Value Tier

· 6 min read

I build production AI agents, web scrapers, and automation pipelines. Most of what I publish here comes from the actual problems they run into: proxies that get banned, anti-bot stacks that fingerprint your client, RAG that drifts when the underlying data moves. Stack: Python, TypeScript, Go, FastAPI, LangChain, Crawlee, Playwright, deployed on AWS, GCP, and Cloudflare.

Octoparse pricing runs from free (2 local tasks) to Enterprise (custom). The jump from Standard ($75/mo) to Professional ($209/mo) is about concurrent cloud slots and API access. Try Octoparse or Apify for developer-focused pricing.

What Each Tier Includes

Free Plan

  • 2 local tasks — Run on your PC only; stops when you close the app.
  • 10,000 records per export — Enough for testing.
  • No cloud extraction — No scheduling, no background runs.
  • No IP rotation — Your IP; higher block risk.
  • Limited export — CSV, Excel, JSON.

Verdict: Evaluation only. See Octoparse Free Plan Guide for details.

Standard ($75/mo)

  • 10 concurrent cloud crawlers — Run up to 10 tasks in the cloud.
  • Cloud extraction — Scheduled runs, no local PC needed.
  • IP rotation — Built-in rotating IPs for anti-bot bypass.
  • No API — Trigger via dashboard or manual run.
  • Export: CSV, Excel, JSON, Google Sheets, databases.

Best for: Regular scheduled scraping, small-to-mid volume.

Professional ($209/mo)

  • 20 concurrent cloud crawlers — Double the parallelism.
  • API access — Programmatic triggering and data fetch.
  • Same cloud + IP rotation as Standard.
  • Priority support — Faster response on issues.

Best for: Teams needing API integration or higher throughput.

Enterprise (Custom)

  • Custom concurrent crawlers — Negotiated limits.
  • Dedicated support — Account manager, SLAs.
  • Custom proxy options — Bring your own residential proxies.
  • SSO, compliance — Enterprise features.

Standard vs Professional

API accessNoYes
Price$75/mo$209/mo
Use caseScheduled runs, manual triggersAPI pipelines, higher throughput

The main difference is API access and concurrency. If you trigger scrapers from code or need more parallel runs, Professional pays off.

Annual vs Monthly Savings

Octoparse typically offers ~20% off annual billing. Pay annually to bring Standard to roughly $60/mo and Professional to ~$167/mo. Check the pricing page for current discounts.

Hidden Costs

  • Overage: Extra pages beyond plan limits can incur add-on charges.
  • Proxy add-ons: Residential proxies may cost extra on top of base plans.
  • Export limits: Very large exports (100K+ rows) may have restrictions; verify before scaling.

Octoparse vs Apify Pricing

Octoparse suits fixed monthly scraping; Apify suits variable or developer-driven workloads. See Octoparse vs Apify 2026.

Octoparse has the strongest template library; ParseHub often handles JS-heavy sites better; WebScraper.io is lighter and cheaper.

Choosing Your Tier: Practical Guidance

Evaluating? Use the free plan. Build one or two scrapers, export a sample, confirm the workflow fits your use case.

Light production (1–2 scheduled jobs, under 50K pages/mo)? Standard at $75/mo is the sweet spot. You get cloud, scheduling, and IP rotation.

Heavy production (multiple jobs, API integration)? Professional at $209/mo adds API access and 20 concurrent crawlers. If you're triggering from code or need parallelism, the jump is justified.

Enterprise? Contact Octoparse for custom limits, dedicated proxies, and SLAs. Typical for agencies or teams doing millions of pages per month.

Overage and Add-Ons

Check the fine print: extra pages beyond your plan may cost more. Residential proxy add-ons can add $50–200/mo depending on volume. If you're scraping anti-bot targets (Google, LinkedIn, etc.), factor proxy costs into your budget. Apify's proxy options are per-Actor and usage-based—can be cheaper for variable workloads.

Upgrade Path

Start free → validate workflow → upgrade to Standard when you need scheduling. If you hit API or concurrency limits, Professional is the next step. Enterprise is for teams with dedicated support and custom requirements. There's no lock-in: you can export your workflows as documentation and recreate elsewhere if needed, though migrating visual workflows to code-based tools (e.g., Apify) requires manual translation.

Billing and Payment

Octoparse accepts credit cards. Annual billing typically saves ~20%. Check the pricing page for current promo codes—new user discounts are sometimes offered. Refunds: review the terms; Octoparse generally doesn't offer prorated refunds for partial months. If uncertain, start with monthly, then switch to annual once you're committed.

Tax and Invoice

Enterprise plans typically include invoicing and purchase orders. Standard and Professional: standard SaaS billing, often with VAT for EU customers. Download invoices from the Octoparse dashboard for expense tracking and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Free: $0 (2 local tasks). Standard: $75/mo (10 cloud crawlers). Professional: $209/mo (20 crawlers, API). Enterprise: custom.

For testing, yes. For production—scheduling, cloud, IP rotation—you need at least Standard. Free has no cloud and no IP rotation.

Start free to learn. Upgrade to Standard when you need scheduled runs or cloud extraction. Professional only if you need API access.

Yes. Annual billing typically offers around 20% off compared to monthly.

Common mistakes and fixes

Hit page limits on Standard plan

Upgrade to Professional for more cloud slots, or optimize workflow to extract fewer pages per run.

Need API access on Standard

API access is Professional and above. Use webhooks or manual exports on Standard.
