There are many web scrapers in the market each having its own pros and cons depending on how you want to look at them.<\/p>\n<p>One thing you need to know is that unlike in the past that you require a coding skill to scrape data from the Internet, that is no longer required as there are already-made web scrapers that have been developed for that. You only need coding if you need to integrate a web scraping logic in a script\/software you are developing.<\/p>\n<p>ParseHub is one of the popular tools out there that non-coders use to scrape data from web pages on the Internet. And just like every other web scraper out there, it does have its pros and cons and while there is no doubt that it works, it might not be the web scraper for you.<\/p>\n<p>If ParseHub is not the web scraper for you, then you need to know that there are many alternatives available to you that you can use. This article would be centered on discussing these alternatives that you can use. Before going into that, let take a look at a brief overview of ParseHub as a web scraper.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"brief-parsehub-review\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brief_ParseHub_Review\"><\/span><strong>Brief ParseHub Review<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<hr\/>\n<p>ParseHub is a software that you can use to build a web scraper or a web scraping workflow without the need to write a single line of code.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"parsehub-pros\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ParseHub_Pros\"><\/span>ParseHub Pros<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is described as a visual web scraping tool that provides you with a point and click interface to be used for identifying the data of interest.<\/p>\n<p>ParseHub is not built for any specific website \u2014 it is a generic web scraper that can be used to scrape all kinds of websites including interactive web pages.<\/p>\n<p>ParseHub comes with some good features including support for <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/ip-rotation\/\">IP rotation<\/a>, Regular Expression, scheduled scraping, API, and webhooks, among others.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WWo4ctZDD64\" data-id=\"WWo4ctZDD64\" data-query onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false; perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\" data-cf-modified-09e87ad9388010429b0c8836->\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20480%20360%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/WWo4ctZDD64\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"play\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WWo4ctZDD64?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>Even though it looks simple, it is an incredibly powerful tool. One thing you will come to like about ParseHub is that while it is a paid web scraper, it does have a free tier that you can use if your tasks are not complex as the free tier comes with its limitations.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3 id=\"parsehub-cons\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ParseHub_Cons\"><\/span>ParseHub Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>From the above, you can see that ParseHub is actually functional and even comes with some advanced features you would want in a web scraper.<\/p>\n<pre style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Why Use a ParseHub Alternative?<\/strong><\/pre>\n<p>However, it does not mean everyone would use it and this is connected to the fact that it does have cons some people cannot overlook or for preference and convenience sake. Below are some of the reasons businesses and data analysts look out for alternative web scrapers for their scraping projects.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_People_Find_it_Not_Easy_to_Use\"><\/span><strong>Some People Find it Not Easy to Use<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The popular notion is that since it\u2019s a non-coders tool, it would be easy to use. However, while this is true for a good number of persons especially for those comfortable with complicated workflows on a computer, others find it not as easy to use as it is proclaimed. It takes many a while to get used to the tool and some do not just have that time going through the initial learning curve.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_fails_Sometimes\"><\/span><strong>It fails Sometimes <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ParseHub sometimes fails and let face it, that is completely normal because websites can quickly make changes to their anti-spam system that they could detect bot behaviors and when that happens, many bots fail at that period. However, in the case of ParseHub, the failure is not only due to this. Sometimes, the bot will fail to work and you will not even know why.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personal_Preferences\"><\/span><strong>Personal Preferences<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As humans, there are some software we would not just like because they lack some of the features we like. Somethings, it might just be because of the interface or because we just need more than the tool offers and we start looking out for alternatives\u00a0 to see if they offer more features.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"best-parsehub-alternatives\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_ParseHub_Alternatives\"><\/span><strong>Best ParseHub Alternatives<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In this section of the article, we would be taking a look at some of the best alternatives to ParseHub. And let face it, some are actually better web scrapers than ParseHub \u2014 others are easier to use while some are meant for a different set of users. In the end, none of the alternatives is also the web scraper for all \u2014 each of them has their own pros and cons too.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3 id=\"data-collector-by-bright-data\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Data_Collector_by_Bright_Data\"><\/span><a href=\"###brightdata\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Data Collector by Bright Data<\/strong><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"###brightdata\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><picture class=\"size-full wp-image-8990 alignright perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-data-logo.jpg.webp\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20247%2061'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20247%2061'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Bright Data - Luminati\" width=\"247\" height=\"61\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-data-logo.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"size-full wp-image-8990 alignright\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-data-logo.jpg.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-data-logo.jpg\" alt=\"Bright Data - Luminati\" width=\"247\" height=\"61\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pricing: <\/strong>Starts at $350 for 100K page loads<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free Trials: <\/strong>Available<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data Output Format: <\/strong>Excel<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supported Platforms: <\/strong>Web-based<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"###brightdata\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13663 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector-300x159.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector-768x407.jpg.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20530'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20530'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Bright Data for data Collector\" width=\"1000\" height=\"530\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector-768x407.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13663\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector-300x159.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector-768x407.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector.jpg\" alt=\"Bright Data for data Collector\" width=\"1000\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bright-Data-for-data-Collector-768x407.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you find ParseHub a bit technical and not easy to use, then Bright Data is the web scraper for you.\u00a0 Data Collector is one of the services offered by Bright Data, a popular proxy provider with proxies in the mobile, datacenter, and residential proxy markets.
