Octoparse vs ScrapingBee: Which is best for you?

It allowed me to gather large amounts of structured data from websites effortlessly, which I then used for analytics and business insights.

Occasionally it can take a bit of back & forth with support to get it working on some websites, however I think this is more of an issue with the website layout than Octoparse itself most of the time.

We use it as part of our outbound sales automation to scrape websites and extract practical signals like where traffic seems to come from and which languages a site is available in, and it has been consistently reliable.

We tried many different services before this (mostly a bit cheaper), but there was always something not quite working from rate limits to availability or being blocked.
