ScrapePass vs Instant Data Scraper
Instant Data Scraper is a free extension that exports one list at a time. ScrapePass adds custom fields, detail pages, bulk images, screenshots and parallel runs, and running it is free too.
The short answer
Instant Data Scraper is a great free tool for grabbing a single list. ScrapePass is free to run as well, and adds what it doesn’t list: custom fields, detail pages, bulk images, screenshots, parallel runs and saved recipes. Exports cost one credit a day after your free days.
