ScrapePass vs Simplescraper
Simplescraper is free in the browser and charges from $39 a month for cloud scraping, monitoring and integrations. ScrapePass charges only for the days you export, with no subscription.
The short answer
Simplescraper shines at monitoring, cloud schedules and integrations, from $39 a month. If you extract in your browser and export files, ScrapePass does that for a dollar or less a day, with detail pages, images and screenshots included.

Questions
Is ScrapePass cheaper than Simplescraper?
If you export on fewer days than you would pay for in a month, yes. Simplescraper Plus is $39 a month. ScrapePass charges one credit per 24-hour pass, $1 or less, and nothing on days you don’t export.
Can ScrapePass send data to Google Sheets?
Not directly yet. ScrapePass exports CSV, Excel and JSON files, which you can import into Google Sheets. Simplescraper connects to Sheets, Airtable and Zapier on its paid plans. If you need a direct connection, suggest it on our Contact page.
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.
