Alternative à ParseHub

Bright Data and ParseHub serve very different use cases. ParseHub is a desktop no-code visual scraper ideal for beginners and non-technical users who need to scrape small to medium datasets (200-50K pages per run depending on plan). It's free for basic use and requires no coding.

Bright Data is an enterprise web data platform with: 150M+ proxy infrastructure, 120+ pre-built scraper APIs, browser-based Web IDE, dataset marketplace, unlimited scalability (no page caps), 24/7 dedicated support, and comprehensive certifications. Choose ParseHub for: small-scale projects, visual point-and-click scraping, learning web scraping basics. Choose Bright Data for: enterprise-scale operations, proxy infrastructure, API automation, and mission-critical data collection.

ParseHub has strict page limits per run: Free plan (200 pages/run in 40 min), Standard plan ($189/mo = 10,000 pages/run), Professional plan ($599/mo = 50,000 pages/run), Enterprise (custom pricing for larger volumes). These limits can be restrictive for large-scale operations—scraping 1,000 products with 5 detail pages each consumes 6,000 pages per run.

Bright Data has no page limits or artificial caps. Our infrastructure supports unlimited pages, concurrent scraping, and automatic scaling. For enterprises needing to scrape millions of pages monthly, Bright Data's unlimited model eliminates the complexity of managing page quotas and allows true enterprise-scale operations. ParseHub works well for projects under 50K pages/run; Bright Data is essential for operations beyond that.

ParseHub offers IP rotation as a feature on paid plans only ($189/mo+). They don't operate their own proxy network—IP rotation is provided as part of the scraping software. Free plan users don't get IP rotation, limiting them to basic scraping that may encounter blocks.

Bright Data operates the world's largest proxy network: 150M+ residential IPs, 1.3M+ datacenter IPs, 1.3M+ ISP IPs, and 7M+ mobile IPs across 195 countries with unlimited bandwidth. Proxies are core infrastructure, not an add-on. For proxy-intensive scraping, geo-targeting, or accessing blocked sites, Bright Data's dedicated infrastructure provides capabilities ParseHub cannot match.

ParseHub pricing: Free (5 public projects, 200 pages/run), Standard ($189/mo for 20 projects, 10K pages/run), Professional ($599/mo for 50 projects, 50K pages/run), Enterprise (custom). The free plan is excellent for learning and small projects.

Bright Data's value comes from: eliminating development time with 120+ pre-built APIs, unlimited scaling (no page caps), included proxy infrastructure (vs ParseHub's limited IP rotation), dataset marketplace, and enterprise support. For small projects under 200 pages, ParseHub's free plan is unbeatable. For production operations requiring reliability, scale, proxies, and support, Bright Data's total cost of ownership is typically lower despite higher base pricing.

Migration depends on your ParseHub usage. If you're using ParseHub's visual scraper for simple projects, migrating to Bright Data's pre-built APIs or visual tools takes 24-48 hours. Complex custom ParseHub scrapers may require rebuilding in Bright Data's Web IDE or using our APIs.

The process involves: (1) Identifying which Bright Data APIs match your ParseHub projects, (2) Setting up proxy infrastructure if needed, (3) Testing scalability beyond ParseHub's page limits, (4) Deploying and monitoring. Our support team assists throughout. Many users keep ParseHub free plan for quick one-off tasks while using Bright Data for production-scale operations requiring unlimited pages and enterprise reliability.

ParseHub excels at: no-code visual scraping via desktop app, point-and-click interface perfect for beginners, handling JavaScript/AJAX sites, regex and XPath support for advanced users, export to JSON/CSV/Excel/Google Sheets, scheduled scraping (paid plans), and API access.

Bright Data offers: 120+ pre-built scraper APIs (no configuration needed), browser-based Web IDE (no desktop install), visual no-code tools, unlimited scalability, 150M+ proxy infrastructure, dataset marketplace, NDJSON/CSV/Excel exports, comprehensive integrations, and 24/7 support. Both have no-code options—ParseHub's visual desktop app is more beginner-friendly, while Bright Data's platform is built for enterprise scale and automation.

ParseHub is one of the best no-code scraping tools for beginners: completely free plan (5 public projects, 200 pages/run), intuitive point-and-click interface, desktop app for Windows/Mac/Linux, no coding required, visual element selection, handles JavaScript-heavy sites, export to multiple formats, and extensive tutorials (ParseHub Academy).

ParseHub's desktop application lets users visually navigate websites, click on data elements, and build scrapers without writing code. This makes it perfect for: learning web scraping fundamentals, quick one-off projects, non-technical users (marketers, analysts), and testing scraping concepts. For production operations requiring scale, proxies, and enterprise support, users typically graduate to platforms like Bright Data.

Absolutely. Bright Data offers free trials on all products with no credit card required. We recommend comparing: unlimited scalability (vs ParseHub's page caps), proxy infrastructure (150M+ IPs vs ParseHub's IP rotation feature), pre-built APIs (vs building scrapers manually), and overall platform capabilities.

ParseHub offers a generous free plan (5 public projects, 200 pages/run) that never expires. Many users keep both—ParseHub free plan for quick exploratory projects and Bright Data for production operations requiring unlimited scale, proxies, enterprise support, and guaranteed uptime. Our team can help you determine the best architecture for your specific needs.

ParseHub's limitations include: strict page-per-run caps (200 to 50K depending on plan), free plan limited to 5 public projects (scrapers visible to community), desktop application required (must install on Windows/Mac/Linux), IP rotation only on paid plans ($189/mo+), slow scraping speed (200 pages in 40 min on free plan), data retention limits (14 days on free/standard), and steep price jump (free to $189/mo).

For projects exceeding 50K pages/run, requiring private scrapers, needing faster speeds, or requiring enterprise infrastructure, ParseHub's constraints necessitate upgrading to expensive plans or migrating to platforms like Bright Data with unlimited scalability and built-in proxy infrastructure.

ParseHub uses a visual desktop application approach: users download software (Windows/Mac/Linux), navigate websites in the app, point-and-click to select data elements, configure extraction rules visually, and export results. This is perfect for non-coders but requires desktop installation and manual scraper building for each site.

Bright Data offers multiple approaches: (1) Pre-built APIs for 120+ platforms (no building required), (2) Browser-based Web IDE for custom coding (accessible anywhere), (3) Visual no-code tools for click-based extraction, (4) Dataset marketplace for instant data. Bright Data provides more flexibility—beginners can use visual tools like ParseHub, developers can code in the Web IDE, and everyone can use pre-built APIs for instant results.

ParseHub exports data to: JSON, CSV, Excel, and Google Sheets. They offer API access for integration and scheduled scraping on paid plans. ParseHub also supports Dropbox integration for automatic data delivery.

Bright Data supports: JSON, NDJSON, CSV, Excel, direct database integrations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), webhook delivery, cloud storage (Amazon S3, Google Cloud), and scheduled exports. Both platforms offer solid export options—ParseHub focuses on simplicity (JSON, CSV, Excel, Google Sheets), while Bright Data offers more enterprise integrations including NDJSON for streaming and direct database connections.

ParseHub serves primarily individual users, small teams, and SMBs. Their Enterprise plan (ParseHub Plus) offers custom pricing for larger volumes, but the platform's page-per-run limits and desktop application architecture aren't optimized for Fortune 500 requirements. ParseHub excels for projects under 50K pages/run.

Bright Data serves 20,000+ customers including Fortune 500 companies with infrastructure supporting 650TB daily data collection, unlimited page scraping, 150M+ proxy IPs, 99.99% uptime SLA, and automatic enterprise-grade scaling. For true enterprise operations requiring millions of pages scraped monthly with guaranteed reliability, Bright Data's infrastructure is purpose-built for that scale. ParseHub is excellent for SMB operations within its limits.

ParseHub doesn't prominently advertise specific certifications beyond general terms of service and privacy policy compliance. As a desktop application for individual/SMB users, they focus on user-friendly scraping rather than enterprise compliance frameworks.

Bright Data maintains: GDPR, CCPA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and CSA STAR Level 1 certifications with full audit trails, data processing agreements, and ethical proxy sourcing. For enterprises in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government) requiring documented compliance, Bright Data's comprehensive certification framework is essential. ParseHub works well for less-regulated use cases where ease of use matters more than formal certifications.
