SaaS Pricing Scraper

Apify Actor that extracts SaaS pricing plans from public pricing pages. Built with TypeScript, Crawlee CheerioCrawler, and heuristic parsers for common pricing page patterns.

Features

• Extracts per plan: planName, monthlyPrice, yearlyPrice, billingPeriod, features[], ctaText
• Multi-strategy extraction:
  • JSON-LD structured data (Product, Offer)
  • data-* attributes (data-plan, data-monthly-price, etc.)
  • DOM heuristics for pricing cards, tiers, and feature lists
• Built-in retries, rate limiting, logging, and error handling
• Optional Apify Proxy support

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	stripe + apify pricing	Pricing page URLs to scrape
maxRequestsPerCrawl	integer	50	Max pages per run
maxRequestRetries	integer	3	HTTP retry count
maxRequestsPerMinute	integer	30	Rate limit
useProxy	boolean	true	Use Apify Proxy

See examples/input.json for a ready-to-run example.

Output

Each dataset item represents one pricing plan:

{
  "planName": "Pro",
  "monthlyPrice": "$49",
  "yearlyPrice": null,
  "billingPeriod": "monthly",
  "features": ["Unlimited projects", "Priority support"],
  "ctaText": "Get started",
  "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/pricing",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-05T12:00:00.000Z",
  "extractionMethod": "pricing-cards+json-ld",
  "error": null
}

Local development

npm install
npm run lint
npm run build
npm test
apify run

Copy examples/input.json to storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json to customize local runs.

Deploy

apify login
apify push

Limitations

• Cheerio parses static HTML only. Pricing pages that render entirely client-side (heavy React/Vue SPAs) may return fewer or no plans.
• Price parsing uses common currency symbols and numeric patterns; localized or custom formats may need site-specific tuning.
• Heuristic selectors work across many SaaS sites but cannot guarantee 100% coverage.
