My verdict: the rising star of no-code scraping.
Pronto combines simplicity, modern UX, and ease of use. The rising star of scraping. It's a good tool for extracting data without effort. We love the 'turnkey' aspect: it's simple, visual and accessible. Ideal if you want to retrieve data quickly without technical complexity. A rising value to watch.
What I like less: the tool is still young, so some advanced features are in development or absent. For really complex scraping, Octoparse remains more complete. You'll reach the limits quite quickly on non-standard cases.
My advice: test Pronto for your common scraping needs. The UX is so much better than veterans that it's worth it. For really complex cases (sites with authentication, heavy JavaScript), keep Octoparse or Apify as backup.
