Partner programme opening soon: join the free waitlist. Planned terms are 50% of each referred sale (75% once you have 5+ paying customers), single level, paid through Gumroad only from revenue received.
Short answer: ParseHub is a general point-and-click web scraper with a desktop app. Its pricing page lists Free (200 pages per run, 5 public projects, 14-day data retention, no card), Standard at $189 a month (10,000 pages per run, 20 private projects, IP rotation, scheduling) and Professional at $599 a month (unlimited pages per run, 120 private projects), with quarterly billing 15% cheaper and a full refund if you are not happy. If your job is product titles, prices, sale prices, stock and SKUs from independent Shopify or WooCommerce shops, our Apify Actor reads those shops' structured data with no project to build, is free during launch, and you pay only Apify platform usage. For other kinds of websites, pick ParseHub.
The pain this page is about
Visual scrapers can read almost anything, but every shop needs its own project, and projects break when a theme changes. Shopify and WooCommerce shops already publish their catalogue in a structured form; reading that is simpler.
Side by side (from public pages)
| ParseHub | Unadhi Shopify & WooCommerce Product + Price Tracker (Apify) | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Point-and-click scraping of most websites; one project typically per website | Product rows from independent Shopify, WooCommerce and schema.org shops only |
| Setup per shop | Build a project in ParseHub's app (the page offers a download), or pay ParseHub to set it up | Paste the shop URL; reads Shopify products.json, the WooCommerce Store API, then schema.org data |
| Limits | 200 pages per run (Free) · 10,000 (Standard) · unlimited (Professional); data kept 14 or 30 days | You set products per shop and listing pages per run; results stay in your Apify storage per your Apify plan |
| Anti-blocking | IP rotation on paid plans | None by design: honest bot User-Agent, robots.txt and shop terms respected, marketplaces refused |
| Scheduling | On paid plans | Apify Schedules |
| Price (public, read 20 Oct 2026) | Free · Standard $189/month · Professional $599/month (prices in US dollars; quarterly billing saves 15%) · ParseHub Plus done-for-you service | Actor fee: free during launch. Apify platform usage only; Apify Free plan includes $5 of usage a month |
| Refunds | Full refund if not happy, per its FAQ | No subscription with us; skipped shops are not charged |
Function summary in our own words, not a review.
Who should pick ParseHub instead
- The sites you need are not Shopify or WooCommerce shops — directories, listings, custom catalogues.
- You want a visual tool to pick any field on any page, or ParseHub's team to build and deliver the data for you.
- You need more than product data, for example images and files saved to Dropbox or S3 (paid plans).
Who our Actor fits better
- Your targets are independent Shopify or WooCommerce shops and you want every product with price, compare-at price, stock and SKU/GTIN.
- You do not want to build or maintain a project per shop.
- You want a run that costs cents of cloud usage instead of a monthly plan.

Try it on three shops first
Actor fee: free during launch · you pay only Apify platform usage
The Shopify & WooCommerce Product + Price Tracker is a pay-per-usage Actor on Apify: you pay only for the platform resources the run uses, with no extra developer charge (Apify docs). Apify's free plan is $0 and includes $5 of platform usage a month, no credit card (apify.com/pricing). Listing pages are free in the Actor's own design, and shops that are skipped or return nothing cost nothing. We do not quote a cost per 1,000 products; run a small test and read the usage in your Apify billing page. Built and published by Unadhi (disclosure).
Free gift: copy-paste input for a three-shop price check
Read the SHOPS_SUMMARY record after the run: it tells you which shops were skipped and why. No code at all? You can also read one Shopify shop's public catalogue in your browser at /products.json for free: see how to export a Shopify or WooCommerce product list to CSV and build a competitor price sheet.

Do I need to build a project for each shop with the Unadhi Actor?
No. You paste shop URLs. The Actor detects Shopify or WooCommerce and reads their structured product data; other shops are read from schema.org markup where available.
Can the Unadhi Actor scrape any website like ParseHub?
No. It is built only for online shops' product data and refuses marketplaces. For other kinds of sites, a general scraper such as ParseHub is the right tool.
What does a run of the Unadhi Actor cost?
No Actor fee during launch. You pay Apify platform usage; Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month. Run three shops first and read the usage in Apify billing.
Not legal advice. Check each shop's terms before you collect its data; the Actor skips shops whose robots.txt or terms forbid it. Competitor prices and plans change; re-check their pricing pages before you decide. Spotted an error about any product on this page, including ours? Write to mininglife7@gmail.com and we correct it.
