Top 5 Price Scraping Tools for 2025
Price scraping is the most popular method of automating competitor price tracking in eCommerce.
To be more specific, it is a way to extract pricing data from websites using programs known as bots (or crawlers).
When it comes to price scraping tools, there’s a wide range of options available. However, choosing the right price scraping tool for your business may not be so straightforward.
You need to define your needs and evaluate each price scraping tool you are interested in.
In this article, we are first going to list the most important criteria for evaluating price scraping tools and then shortlist some of the ones we think are the best according to that criteria.
Criteria for evaluating price scraping tools
The most important feature of any price scraping tool is its accuracy. It is often said that you are better off with having no data than having completely wrong data.
On the other hand, the accuracy may not be so relevant if the tool is too expensive. In other words, this means that the cost of the tool shouldn’t outweigh its benefits.
Between accuracy and the pricing, there are also additional factors you should consider. Here is a list of the most important criteria for evaluating price scraping tools:
- Data accuracy – High-quality data leads to high-quality decisions. Having incorrect data wastes your time by you having to manually correct it. Also, incorrect data poses a business risk that can lead to sub-optimal pricing decisions.
- Frequency of price checks – The relevancy of this criteria will depend on the industry you are in. Some industries see prices fluctuate multiple times per day. Others, once a week or once a month. However, having an adaptive tool that can come in clutch when market becomes volatile can only be an advantage.
- Data export & integration capabilities – When a workflow everyone is used to is interrupted additional costs are created for a company. This is especially true for pricing managers, who are the main profit-drivers in eCommerce companies. This is why having the ability to decide how the pricing data will be delivered to you is such an important factor to consider.
- Ease of use – Just like the point above, learning how to use a new tool takes time. Depending on their features, some price scraping tools can become quite complex. This is why it’s important for the tool to both be intuitively easy to learn and to have a rich repository of resources for learning how to use it.
- Quality of support – It’s inevitable that sometimes things may not go as planned or that you may need help with something. This is where customer support comes into play. The quality of the responses, the speed, and the friendliness all play an important part when evaluating what price scraping tool to go for.
- Pricing – Ultimately, no matter how feature-rich the tool is, or how good is the support, if it breaks your bank, it is unlikely you will go for it.
