Free No-Code Web Scrapers
Which no-code web scrapers a startup can pull data from websites into a spreadsheet with for free today, without writing code, how many credits, pages or rows the free plan covers, whether a card is needed and what the first paid plan costs, read from each provider's own page.
Free allowances read on each provider's own pages, all checked on or after . No-code web scrapers change their free plans from time to time: confirm the terms on the provider's page before you rely on it.
No-code web scrapers a startup can use for free today include Octoparse (Free forever: 10 tasks, 50K rows a month), Web Scraper (Free for unlimited local use), Browse AI (Free forever: 50 credits a month), Data Miner (Free plan: 500 pages a month), and ParseHub (Free plan: 200 pages per run). Each of the 10 free plans below links to the provider's page that states it, with its main limit, its credit or page caps, whether a card is needed and what the first paid plan costs.
Lead lists, competitor prices, job posts and directory listings all sit on web pages, and copying them by hand takes hours. No-code web scrapers let you point and click at the data you want and export it to a spreadsheet, several with a free plan, and free browser extensions scrape the page you are on.
The headline rarely tells you how far it goes. Free plans cap credits, pages or rows a month, run only on your own computer, and keep scheduled or cloud runs for paid plans. Each tool below shows what is free, its main limit, its credit or page caps, whether a card is needed and what the first paid plan costs, quoted from the provider's own page with the date we read it.
Which tools we picked and the order they appear in are our editorial choices; the terms are the providers'. Some of these providers pay us a referral commission when someone signs up through our link: those links are labeled, and they play no part in which tools are listed or where.

Compare the top options
How this comparison is built
The list covers no-code web scrapers a founder can use for free today without applying to a program. The order and the "best for" notes are our editorial reading of each tool's terms. Every term comes from the tool's own pricing or help page on the date shown, never from a third-party list; follow each link for the full conditions. A cap on credits, pages or rows a month, scheduled runs or cloud runs kept for paid plans, exports limited on the free plan can matter more than the headline, so the comparison quotes them wherever the provider states them. Some of these tools pay StartupPerks a referral commission, and their links are labeled as referral links; that decides neither whether nor where a tool appears, and no tool pays for a placement on this page.
