Ujeebu vs Octoparse
Octoparse is a no-code visual desktop scraper: you point and click to build a scraper, then run tasks. Ujeebu takes the opposite approach. It is a developer API and platform, programmatic and built for scale, with residential proxies, CAPTCHA solving, a structured Google SERP API and AI extraction, all on one credit pool with per-success billing.
Key differences.
Cost, side by side.
| Pricing model | Ujeebu | Octoparse |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (5,000 credits, no card) | $0 (10 tasks, 1 device, 50K rows/mo) |
| Entry | $49/mo (300K credits) | $69/mo (Standard) |
| Mid | $119/mo (1M credits) | $249/mo (Professional) |
| Scale | $299/mo (3M credits) | Custom (Enterprise) |
The pricing models are not comparable. Octoparse meters tasks (saved scraper configs) and exported rows, with per-tier task and concurrency limits. Ujeebu meters credits that scale with the work done (1 for a static fetch, more for JS rendering, residential proxies or AI extraction), all from one pool. Octoparse residential proxies are a $3/GB add-on and CAPTCHA solving is billed separately. Compare on your real workload.

An honest look at each.
ujeebu- A true developer API, programmatic and built for scale, nothing to install
- One credit pool across scraping, SERP and AI extraction
- Residential proxies and CAPTCHA solving built in, no add-ons
- Per-success billing: failed, blocked or timed-out requests are free
- 5,000-credit free trial, no card and no task limits
- No visual point-and-click builder for non-technical users
- Requires basic API knowledge to get started
Octoparse- No-code visual builder, point and click with no coding
- Large template library for common sites
- A long-standing tool with millions of mostly non-technical users
- Free forever tier and a desktop app
- Desktop-app-centric, not API-first for developers
- Task and concurrency limits per tier constrain scaling
- Residential proxies cost $3/GB extra, CAPTCHA solving is billed separately
- No dedicated SERP endpoint, no screenshot or PDF output
- Subscription and task-based billing, no per-success billing

Our take: Octoparse for no-code desktop scraping, Ujeebu for developers and scale
Octoparse is a capable no-code visual scraper, and if you want to point and click your way to a scraper without writing code it does that well. Ujeebu is built for the other case: developers and pipelines that need to scrape at scale through a real API. You get residential proxies and CAPTCHA solving built in, a structured Google SERP API and AI extraction, all on one credit pool with per-success billing so failed requests cost nothing. If you are building rather than clicking, Ujeebu is the foundation.
