ParseHub review
A graphical scraper for JavaScript-heavy sites, with cloud runs and API exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ParseHub is a web-scraping application for people and teams that need structured data from interactive websites without writing a scraper from scratch. Its graphical interface lets users build extraction projects for pages that rely on JavaScript or AJAX, as well as sites with forms, pagination, infinite scroll, tabs, dropdowns, pop-ups, or login-gated content. It runs on Windows, macOS, and the web, with cloud and desktop deployment options and an API for programmatic access.
The plan limits define a clear progression. Free allows 200 pages per run, five public projects, and 14 days of data retention. Standard raises the run limit to 10,000 pages and provides 20 private projects; it also adds scheduling, IP rotation, and saving images and files to Dropbox or S3. Professional keeps those paid features, allows unlimited pages per run, and includes 120 private projects. ParseHub Plus is a different option: an enterprise web scraping service for one-time projects or ongoing scraping, with a dedicated account manager and custom-made ParseHub features. The published plan descriptions make the free tier suitable for smaller or exploratory projects, while larger workloads and private projects call for a paid plan.
Extraction controls include XPath, CSS selectors, and regular expressions, with support for collecting text, HTML, attributes, images, and files. Results can be exported as CSV or JSON, retrieved through a REST API, or sent through webhooks that start runs and retrieve results. Dropbox, Amazon S3, Google Sheets, and Tableau are listed integrations. These capabilities make ParseHub a fit for visual workflows that need to handle complex page behavior and feed extracted data into other tools. Teams that need a dedicated scraping service may prefer Plus; those seeking an open-source tool should look elsewhere, as ParseHub is not open source.
