Well, just like it has its strengths, it also has its weaknesses. In this section, we would be taking a look at some of the reasons users of import.io seek an alternative web scraper.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"pricing-is-considered-expensive-and-not-transparent\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_is_Considered_Expensive_and_Not_transparent\"><\/span><strong>Pricing is Considered Expensive and Not transparent<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For most of the web scrapers out there, if you visit their pricing page, you will see the price listing for each of their packages on the page. Quite transparent \u2013 everybody gets the same price. In the case of import.io, the case is different \u2013 all you will see is a button to schedule a consultation with a sales team member. In the end, the prices are still quite expensive when compared to the prices of other web scrapers that can be likened to them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"term-of-usage-not-customer-friendly\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Term_of_Usage_Not_Customer_Friendly\"><\/span><strong>Term of Usage Not Customer Friendly<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Import would change their term of usage without letting you know. Some users complained the customer support wasn\u2019t available to close their subscription as at the time they wanted it and that has forced them to remain with the service for another year. Generally, when you set out to use his tool and you are a small marketer, just know that you are dealing with an enterprise-level service that only wants to make money for itself and their terms might not be in your favor.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"not-easy-to-use\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_Easy_to_Use\"><\/span><strong>Not Easy to Use<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are looking for an easy-to-use software for extracting data from the web then you will need to look elsewhere as the import.io application is not the tool for you.
