Holy crap that's expensive!

This is ripe for resellers to move in and make some dough.

Can you describe what you mean by resellers?

One can open an account with scrape.it, pay for the enterprise option, and then share login credentials with other people for a small fee. For example, an enterprise account costs $899/month. You could "resell" it as described here to 100 people for $9/month each, and make $1/month in profit.

There's no metering (https://scrape.it/tour2) so you can create as many web scrapes as you want. Scrape.it constantly monitors each job to make sure the data extraction doesn't get interrupted when website changes. Should the website change, your jobs get updated automatically to continue working.

It's an impressive product, there's no doubt about it. I just happened to be looking for a WYSIWYG like tool for scraping a page for changes. This seems more like a commercial grade product than a home user hobby haha nice site btw!

Thank you so much. We are planning on a lite free version for the average individual early 2015.
