Web Scraper Cloud alternative: export a competitor's Shopify or WooCommerce catalogue without building a scraper
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: Web Scraper Cloud (webscraper.io) is a general, fully managed scraping platform: you define extraction visually (AI-assisted), and it runs at scale with proxies, CAPTCHA and bot-protection handling, a scheduler, a parser, data-quality checks and exports to Sheets, Drive, S3 and more. Its pricing page (checked 21 Oct 2026) shows Project at $50 a month (5,000 URL credits, 2 concurrent scrapers), Professional at $100 (20,000 URL credits) and Scale from $200, each shown billed annually, with a 7-day free trial and no card. If your job is just “give me every product and price from these few Shopify or WooCommerce shops”, our Actor does that without building a sitemap, is free during launch, and you pay only Apify platform usage. For many different sites, marketplaces or protected sites, Web Scraper Cloud is the better pick.
The pain this page is about
You want a competitor's product list in a spreadsheet before you set your festive or Black Friday prices. A general scraper can do it, but first you build and maintain the extraction for each shop.

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 We do not quote a cost per 1,000 products; run a small test and read the usage in your Apify billing page.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.

Not legal advice. Public product and price data is generally fine to read for your own comparison; respect each shop's terms and do not republish their content. 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.
