Questions
Is ScrapePass a free ParseHub alternative?
Running extractions in ScrapePass is free, and you get free days when you verify your email. Exports after that need a 24-hour pass, which costs one credit. ParseHub’s free plan is limited to 200 pages per run and 5 public projects.
Are my projects private in ScrapePass?
Yes. Your recipes, datasets and exports stay in your browser and are never uploaded. On ParseHub’s free plan, projects are public and their data may be shared with other users.
Can I add and edit fields in ScrapePass List Extract?
Yes. Auto-detect or Magic suggests the columns, and you can change all of them. Click an element inside one list item to add it as a field for every item, rename it, change its type (text, link, image, number, price, email, phone or markdown), read its text or any attribute, re-pick it, reorder it, or remove it. Detail Extract works the same way on one page per item.
Does ScrapePass need a subscription?
No. Credits are a one-time purchase, and one credit activates a 24-hour pass with unlimited exports, image downloads and screenshots: $0.69 to $1 a day depending on the pack. Running extractions is free, and you get 5 free days when you verify your email.
