What is Octoparse
Overview
Octoparse is a no-code web scraping tool that helps users extract data from websites using a point-and-click interface.
It offers cloud-based scheduling, templates, API access, and automation features to run extraction tasks without coding.
Main features
Key features include cloud execution, scheduling, IP rotation, and pre-built templates for common sites.
Octoparse targets users who need periodic or large-scale data extraction with minimal technical setup.
How to cancel Octoparse
Cancel via Octoparse website (recommended)
- Log into your Octoparse account and open User Center.
- Go to Plan & Subscription, then choose Cancel Subscription.
- Cancel at least 24 hours (1 day) before renewal to avoid being charged for the next period.
Cancel via mobile app stores
- iOS: Octoparse does not handle iOS subscriptions directly; cancel through iOS Settings > Subscriptions. See a third-party summary for guidance: Postclic - Cancel Octoparse.
- Android (Google Play): If your subscription is billed via Google Play, open Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Cancel.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
After cancellation you retain access to paid features until the end of the current billing period.
There is no immediate termination of service upon cancellation unless otherwise specified.
Renewal and billing
You must cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid being charged for the next term.
Octoparse does not offer prorated refunds for the remaining period after cancellation.
Data and tasks
Your saved tasks, templates, and exported data remain available in your account while you retain access.
Consider exporting any needed data before access expires at the end of the billing cycle.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy

Your consumer rights in Singapore
Key rights under Singapore law
Singapore statutes such as the Sale of Goods Act and the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act provide protections for distance and off‑premises contracts, potentially including digital services.
These laws can give consumers a statutory cancellation or cooling-off right that may override vendor refund policies in some cases.
How to proceed if denied
- Refer to relevant Singapore consumer protection laws when disputing a refusal.
- If you believe statutory rights are denied, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for guidance and complaint options.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users often praise Octoparse for its no-code point-and-click interface and useful pre-built templates.
Cloud scheduling and automation are commonly cited as reliable and practical features by many customers.
Negative feedback
Some users report difficulties with dynamic websites, task instability, and a learning curve when workflows break after site changes.
Independent reviews and user reports highlight occasional glitches and frustration around trial-to-paid conversions; see an example review: Capalyze review.
Documentation checklist
What to prepare before contacting support
- Account email and username used for subscription.
- Order ID or transaction reference and date of charge.
- Screenshots of billing, renewal notice, and account subscription page.
How to submit a refund or cancellation request
- Request cancellation via User Center for web subscriptions and keep records of the cancellation confirmation.
- If requesting a refund, include reason, date, and supporting screenshots; reference the refund policy: Octoparse Refund Policy.
Common mistakes
Timing errors
Many users miss the 24‑hour cancellation cutoff and are charged for the next period despite cancelling later.
Example: cancelling on the renewal date rather than at least one day before can result in an unwanted charge.
Platform confusion and refund expectations
Confusion arises when subscriptions are billed via app stores; cancelling in Octoparse's web portal will not stop a Play Store or App Store billing.
Also, expecting prorated refunds is a common mistake - Octoparse does not provide prorated refunds for unused time.
Comparative recap
