Best Tools for Web Scraping on Mac: 6 Top-Rated Options
Web scraping with specialized tools is an easy way to access vast amounts of desired data without spending weeks in front of your computer. 💻
The success of your web scraping activities largely depends on your choice of tools. You need to ensure the selected scraper suits your requirements. If you're a Mac user, you also need to double-check whether a particular scraper works on your operating system.
To save you the trouble of researching the tools yourself, we've analyzed dozens of web scrapers for Mac, consulted industry professionals and influencers, and visited major review platforms to shortlist reliable tools. 🔍
As a result, we've come up with a list of the best platforms for web scraping on Mac, and we'll introduce you to their functionalities and prices in this guide.
TL;DR
- Six Mac-compatible web scraping tools are covered: Clay, Instant Data Scraper, Octoparse, Web Scraper, ParseHub, and Oxylabs.
- Key factors when choosing a Mac web scraper include ease of use, pricing, integrations, and additional functionalities beyond basic scraping.
- Several tools on this list work on Mac via a Chrome extension, meaning no native Mac app install is required.
- Clay stands out for teams that need scraping plus enrichment, AI-powered research, and workflow automation in one platform.
How to Choose the Right Tool for Web Scraping on Mac
We've put together a list of the best web scrapers that work on your Mac computer, but we're in no way saying that every single solution will suit your unique needs. Here are a few factors to keep in mind when choosing your web scraper for Mac:
6 Top-Rated Tools for Web Scraping on Mac
After our thorough analysis and careful consideration, we shortlisted the six best tools for web scraping on Mac:
1. Clay
Clay is a sales automation platform with advanced options for data scraping, enrichment, and campaign personalization.
It has an easy-to-use Chrome extension that allows you to collect data from virtually any website. So, Mac users only need to install Chrome to be able to enjoy Clay's fantastic functionalities. 🧑💻
Using Clay's Chrome extension is straightforward:
The extension isn't the only scraping feature Clay has to offer. Claygent, an AI web scraper, lives inside the platform, and you can leverage it to automate the scraping process. Ask Claygent to visit any website, extract and summarize the desired info, and report back to you. It's a massive time- and money-saver since you don't need as many SDRs on board. 💸
Another scraping feature Clay offers is web scraping templates. They streamline some scraping tasks like:
The templates are excellent, but some users mention a flaw: there aren't enough of them.
In terms of pricing, Clay has a free forever plan, so you can get a feel for the platform and its options. If you like it, opt for one of the four paid plans:
All plans offer unlimited users, so you can grow your team and be 100% confident Clay can support you along the way. 🥰
✅ Chrome extension
✅ AI web scraper
✅ Web scraping templates
✅ Free forever plan
2. Instant Data Scraper
Instant Data Scraper is another Chrome extension on our list. If you have Chrome, you can use the extension on any operating system, including Mac. 👌
The extension's underlying mechanism is heuristic AI analysis. It doesn't require coding or specific website scripts to scrape data. Instead, Instant Data Scraper relies on AI to analyze a website's HTML structure and get you the info you need. Thanks to this technology, the extension is perfectly capable of scraping both lesser-known and popular websites.
Some advanced features users get with Instant Data Scraper are pagination and infinite scrolling support and customizing minimum and maximum delay time to prevent server overload.
As far as potential uses go, the list is quite long. You can:
Once you're done scraping, the extension gives a preview of the data. You can edit or delete columns to ensure your table contains only the info you need at the moment.
It's important to note that you get all these features at zero cost: Instant Data Scraper is completely free! 💲
However, this comes with strings attached because the extension has some drawbacks. The most notable one is that it doesn't work with some professional networking sites, which could be a deal-breaker for users who want to scrape business platforms to get business and people data and collect leads.
✅ Uses AI to get better results
✅ Pagination and infinite scroll support
✅ Versatile
✅ Free
❌ Doesn't work with LinkedIn
❌ Occasional lags

3. Octoparse
Octoparse is a cloud-based web scraper that works seamlessly on Mac. This no-code solution is packed with options to streamline every scraping task and turn info from thousands of pages into structured data. ✔️
With Octoparse, users build their own scrapers without writing a single line of code. The platform features a workflow designer that makes the process easy. The AI web assistant is there every step of the way to guide you through building your web scraper and maximizing the platform's features.
You also get the scheduling option, which allows you to automate scraping and obtain fresh data at specific intervals. This is particularly useful for data-dependent industries like e-commerce, real estate, or sales.
Every scraping task is completed with zero interruptions thanks to Octoparse's arsenal of features for overcoming common challenges, such as IP rotation, proxies, CAPTCHA solving, and infinite scrolling. Even so, some users mention that Octoparse wasn't able to bypass Cloudflare technology, which prevented them from getting the desired data.
If you like Octoparse despite this, you can try its features at no cost with its free plan, but keep in mind you can only execute up to ten tasks. You can also opt for one of three paid plans (we listed monthly prices):
✅ Cloud-based, no-code solution
✅ Scheduling option
✅ AI web assistant
❌ Features for overcoming scraping challenges don't always work
4. Web Scraper
Web Scraper is a service that offers two scraping solutions:
The browser extension is ideal for beginners or those who only need to occasionally scrape smaller amounts of data. It has a point-and-click interface: you simply click on the desired data and Web Scraper will take care of the rest. The extension can handle dynamic websites, offers JavaScript execution, and lets you export your data in CSV or XLSX formats, giving you more flexibility.
The cloud-based solution is more advanced. For example, it lets you schedule your scraping tasks on an hourly, weekly, or monthly basis, saving you time and automating work. It also offers IP rotation to prevent bans and blocks and ensure uninterrupted scraping at all times.
The cloud-based version also has more export features. Besides CSV and XLSX, you can export your data in the JSON format or send it to Google Sheets, Google Drive, or Amazon S3.
Web Scraper's browser extension is completely free. If you want the cloud-based solution, you get four pricing options (all listed prices are for per-month payments):
While Web Scraper is a no-code solution, some users mention it has a learning curve. Getting used to the platform's interface and features can take time.
✅ Two scraping solutions
✅ Suitable for dynamic websites
✅ Various export options
✅ No-code platform
❌ Learning curve
5. ParseHub
ParseHub is another Mac-friendly scraping solution on our list. All you need to do is download the app for Mac devices, set it up, and you're good to go.
The platform's main appeal is its versatility. You can use ParseHub to download data from popular websites that work seamlessly, as well as those that are lesser-known, laggy, or complex. The platform can search through forms, open dropdown lists, click on maps, and log in to websites to get you the desired info with zero issues and interruptions.
The best part is that you can do all of this without writing a single line of code. You simply click on the elements you want to scrape. This is possible thanks to ParseHub's machine learning relationship engine that screens the page to pick up on the element hierarchy and make scraping easy for everyone. 😍
If you like ParseHub but don't want to commit yet, take advantage of its free plan. Although it has limited features, it can help you understand the platform's ins and outs. If you decide to subscribe, you can choose between three plans (prices are for per-month subscriptions):
As for drawbacks, many users point out the platform's pricing and lack of intuitiveness. Some steps feel redundant and overly complicated.
✅ Versatile
✅ No-code solution
✅ Machine learning relationship engine
✅ Free plan
❌ Lacks intuitiveness
❌ Expensive
💡 Pro tip: Want an intuitive scraper? Try out Clay, a user-friendly sales automation platform with fantastic web data scraping options!
6. Oxylabs
Oxylabs is a scraping service offering over 100 million residential and two million datacenter IP proxies, allowing you to effortlessly scrape info from any website (as long as it's legal). It stands out due to versatility. Carefully designed features are suitable for various use cases and industries, from real estate and automotive to travel and entertainment. 👌
The platform's web scraping API solution relies on machine learning-driven proxy management. It automatically selects and rotates proxies from 195 countries to ensure consistent and efficient scraping and global coverage. Users can gain more control over the scraping process by setting custom headers and cookies. 😍
The web scraper API has an AI-powered web data collection infrastructure users can benefit from in more than one way:
Oxylabs has two pricing structures: Regular and Enterprise. Regular has three plans:
There's no free plan, but there's a free seven-day trial allowing you to try out the platform's options. Unfortunately, the trial is limited to a single user.
The Enterprise structure offers four pricing options:
Although it offers multiple pricing options, Oxylabs is expensive, at least according to some users. They point out that the price is much higher compared to other proxies on the market. Some users also mention a higher failure rate.
✅ ML-driven proxy management
✅ Custom headers and cookies
✅ AI-powered web data collection infrastructure
✅ Multiple pricing options
❌ Expensive
❌ Higher failure rate
Which Web Scraper for Mac Should You Choose?
Every Mac web scraper we've reviewed brings something valuable to the table, but the question is, which one should you choose? There's no universal answer since everyone's needs and expectations are unique.
To make the best choice, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
➡️ How big is my team?
➡️ What is my budget?
➡️ What will I use the scraper for?
➡️ What extra functionalities do I need?
➡️ What apps and platforms am I currently using?
If you're looking for a multifunctional tool that can handle much more than scraping and help you streamline multiple processes, our vote goes to Clay. 🏆 The platform offers feature versatility, ease of use, scalability, and consistency without straining your budget.
Move Beyond Scraping With Clay
We've mentioned Clay's excellent scraping options (Claygent, templates, and the Chrome extension that works seamlessly on your Mac), but this is only a small portion of the platform's uses. With it, you can organize and enrich your data, write personalized messages, and leverage dozens of integrations to get even more use from it.
The platform integrates with over 50 databases, apps, and platforms. Through your Clay account, you can leverage the functionalities of platforms like Apollo.io, Hunter, and Clearbit to find and enrich data and organize your work. This doesn't require creating more accounts or overpaying for tools you'll use only occasionally. You get access to all of Clay's integrations with your account. ☑️
Clay relies on waterfall enrichment to deliver the desired data. It searches databases one by one to find and fetch the data you need, thus maximizing coverage and minimizing costs. You only pay for the data you get. Here's how it works, in three steps:
A common scraping issue is inconsistent data. You can often end up with a table filled with people's nicknames, all kinds of emojis, or unconventional job titles. With Clay's data formatting options, you can ensure consistency across the board and normalize names, job titles, locations, domains, phone numbers, and more. 🥳
If you're sales-oriented, you'll appreciate Clay's AI message drafter. Use the data you gathered to create hyper-personalized messages that will resonate with your prospects. 💌
Hundreds of users are impressed by Clay's features. Check out this user's testimonial:

Several can. Web Scraper's browser extension explicitly supports JavaScript execution and dynamic websites. Octoparse and ParseHub also handle complex, dynamic pages. Clay's Claygent can visit and extract data from virtually any website, including those with dynamic content.

How to Choose the Right Tool for Web Scraping on Mac
We've put together a list of the best web scrapers that work on your Mac computer, but we're in no way saying that every single solution will suit your unique needs. Here are a few factors to keep in mind when choosing your web scraper for Mac:
6 Top-Rated Tools for Web Scraping on Mac
After our thorough analysis and careful consideration, we shortlisted the six best tools for web scraping on Mac:
1. Clay
Clay is a sales automation platform with advanced options for data scraping, enrichment, and campaign personalization.
It has an easy-to-use Chrome extension that allows you to collect data from virtually any website. So, Mac users only need to install Chrome to be able to enjoy Clay's fantastic functionalities. 🧑💻
Using Clay's Chrome extension is straightforward:
The extension isn't the only scraping feature Clay has to offer. Claygent, an AI web scraper, lives inside the platform, and you can leverage it to automate the scraping process. Ask Claygent to visit any website, extract and summarize the desired info, and report back to you. It's a massive time- and money-saver since you don't need as many SDRs on board. 💸
Another scraping feature Clay offers is web scraping templates. They streamline some scraping tasks like:
The templates are excellent, but some users mention a flaw: there aren't enough of them.
In terms of pricing, Clay has a free forever plan, so you can get a feel for the platform and its options. If you like it, opt for one of the four paid plans:
All plans offer unlimited users, so you can grow your team and be 100% confident Clay can support you along the way. 🥰
✅ Chrome extension
✅ AI web scraper
✅ Web scraping templates
✅ Free forever plan
2. Instant Data Scraper
Instant Data Scraper is another Chrome extension on our list. If you have Chrome, you can use the extension on any operating system, including Mac. 👌
The extension's underlying mechanism is heuristic AI analysis. It doesn't require coding or specific website scripts to scrape data. Instead, Instant Data Scraper relies on AI to analyze a website's HTML structure and get you the info you need. Thanks to this technology, the extension is perfectly capable of scraping both lesser-known and popular websites.
Some advanced features users get with Instant Data Scraper are pagination and infinite scrolling support and customizing minimum and maximum delay time to prevent server overload.
As far as potential uses go, the list is quite long. You can:
Once you're done scraping, the extension gives a preview of the data. You can edit or delete columns to ensure your table contains only the info you need at the moment.
It's important to note that you get all these features at zero cost: Instant Data Scraper is completely free! 💲
However, this comes with strings attached because the extension has some drawbacks. The most notable one is that it doesn't work with some professional networking sites, which could be a deal-breaker for users who want to scrape business platforms to get business and people data and collect leads.
✅ Uses AI to get better results
✅ Pagination and infinite scroll support
✅ Versatile
✅ Free
❌ Doesn't work with LinkedIn
❌ Occasional lags

3. Octoparse
Octoparse is a cloud-based web scraper that works seamlessly on Mac. This no-code solution is packed with options to streamline every scraping task and turn info from thousands of pages into structured data. ✔️
With Octoparse, users build their own scrapers without writing a single line of code. The platform features a workflow designer that makes the process easy. The AI web assistant is there every step of the way to guide you through building your web scraper and maximizing the platform's features.
You also get the scheduling option, which allows you to automate scraping and obtain fresh data at specific intervals. This is particularly useful for data-dependent industries like e-commerce, real estate, or sales.
Every scraping task is completed with zero interruptions thanks to Octoparse's arsenal of features for overcoming common challenges, such as IP rotation, proxies, CAPTCHA solving, and infinite scrolling. Even so, some users mention that Octoparse wasn't able to bypass Cloudflare technology, which prevented them from getting the desired data.
If you like Octoparse despite this, you can try its features at no cost with its free plan, but keep in mind you can only execute up to ten tasks. You can also opt for one of three paid plans (we listed monthly prices):
✅ Cloud-based, no-code solution
✅ Scheduling option
✅ AI web assistant
❌ Features for overcoming scraping challenges don't always work
4. Web Scraper
Web Scraper is a service that offers two scraping solutions:
The browser extension is ideal for beginners or those who only need to occasionally scrape smaller amounts of data. It has a point-and-click interface: you simply click on the desired data and Web Scraper will take care of the rest. The extension can handle dynamic websites, offers JavaScript execution, and lets you export your data in CSV or XLSX formats, giving you more flexibility.
The cloud-based solution is more advanced. For example, it lets you schedule your scraping tasks on an hourly, weekly, or monthly basis, saving you time and automating work. It also offers IP rotation to prevent bans and blocks and ensure uninterrupted scraping at all times.
The cloud-based version also has more export features. Besides CSV and XLSX, you can export your data in the JSON format or send it to Google Sheets, Google Drive, or Amazon S3.
Web Scraper's browser extension is completely free. If you want the cloud-based solution, you get four pricing options (all listed prices are for per-month payments):
While Web Scraper is a no-code solution, some users mention it has a learning curve. Getting used to the platform's interface and features can take time.
✅ Two scraping solutions
✅ Suitable for dynamic websites
✅ Various export options
✅ No-code platform
❌ Learning curve
5. ParseHub
ParseHub is another Mac-friendly scraping solution on our list. All you need to do is download the app for Mac devices, set it up, and you're good to go.
The platform's main appeal is its versatility. You can use ParseHub to download data from popular websites that work seamlessly, as well as those that are lesser-known, laggy, or complex. The platform can search through forms, open dropdown lists, click on maps, and log in to websites to get you the desired info with zero issues and interruptions.
The best part is that you can do all of this without writing a single line of code. You simply click on the elements you want to scrape. This is possible thanks to ParseHub's machine learning relationship engine that screens the page to pick up on the element hierarchy and make scraping easy for everyone. 😍
If you like ParseHub but don't want to commit yet, take advantage of its free plan. Although it has limited features, it can help you understand the platform's ins and outs. If you decide to subscribe, you can choose between three plans (prices are for per-month subscriptions):
As for drawbacks, many users point out the platform's pricing and lack of intuitiveness. Some steps feel redundant and overly complicated.
✅ Versatile
✅ No-code solution
✅ Machine learning relationship engine
✅ Free plan
❌ Lacks intuitiveness
❌ Expensive
💡 Pro tip: Want an intuitive scraper? Try out Clay, a user-friendly sales automation platform with fantastic web data scraping options!
6. Oxylabs
Oxylabs is a scraping service offering over 100 million residential and two million datacenter IP proxies, allowing you to effortlessly scrape info from any website (as long as it's legal). It stands out due to versatility. Carefully designed features are suitable for various use cases and industries, from real estate and automotive to travel and entertainment. 👌
The platform's web scraping API solution relies on machine learning-driven proxy management. It automatically selects and rotates proxies from 195 countries to ensure consistent and efficient scraping and global coverage. Users can gain more control over the scraping process by setting custom headers and cookies. 😍
The web scraper API has an AI-powered web data collection infrastructure users can benefit from in more than one way:
Oxylabs has two pricing structures: Regular and Enterprise. Regular has three plans:
There's no free plan, but there's a free seven-day trial allowing you to try out the platform's options. Unfortunately, the trial is limited to a single user.
The Enterprise structure offers four pricing options:
Although it offers multiple pricing options, Oxylabs is expensive, at least according to some users. They point out that the price is much higher compared to other proxies on the market. Some users also mention a higher failure rate.
✅ ML-driven proxy management
✅ Custom headers and cookies
✅ AI-powered web data collection infrastructure
✅ Multiple pricing options
❌ Expensive
❌ Higher failure rate
Which Web Scraper for Mac Should You Choose?
Every Mac web scraper we've reviewed brings something valuable to the table, but the question is, which one should you choose? There's no universal answer since everyone's needs and expectations are unique.
To make the best choice, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
➡️ How big is my team?
➡️ What is my budget?
➡️ What will I use the scraper for?
➡️ What extra functionalities do I need?
➡️ What apps and platforms am I currently using?
If you're looking for a multifunctional tool that can handle much more than scraping and help you streamline multiple processes, our vote goes to Clay. 🏆 The platform offers feature versatility, ease of use, scalability, and consistency without straining your budget.
Move Beyond Scraping With Clay
We've mentioned Clay's excellent scraping options (Claygent, templates, and the Chrome extension that works seamlessly on your Mac), but this is only a small portion of the platform's uses. With it, you can organize and enrich your data, write personalized messages, and leverage dozens of integrations to get even more use from it.
The platform integrates with over 50 databases, apps, and platforms. Through your Clay account, you can leverage the functionalities of platforms like Apollo.io, Hunter, and Clearbit to find and enrich data and organize your work. This doesn't require creating more accounts or overpaying for tools you'll use only occasionally. You get access to all of Clay's integrations with your account. ☑️
Clay relies on waterfall enrichment to deliver the desired data. It searches databases one by one to find and fetch the data you need, thus maximizing coverage and minimizing costs. You only pay for the data you get. Here's how it works, in three steps:
A common scraping issue is inconsistent data. You can often end up with a table filled with people's nicknames, all kinds of emojis, or unconventional job titles. With Clay's data formatting options, you can ensure consistency across the board and normalize names, job titles, locations, domains, phone numbers, and more. 🥳
If you're sales-oriented, you'll appreciate Clay's AI message drafter. Use the data you gathered to create hyper-personalized messages that will resonate with your prospects. 💌
Hundreds of users are impressed by Clay's features. Check out this user's testimonial:
