Data Miner review

Data Miner is a Chrome and Edge extension for collecting information from web pages and exporting it to CSV or Excel. It offers pre-made extraction rules, plus tools to build custom scrapes when a ready-made rule does not cover the fields you need.

It can scrape one page or work across multiple pages. The listed features include automatic pagination, bulk jobs from a list of URLs, and form filling from a pre-filled CSV. That makes it a browser-based option for repeatable collection tasks, rather than a general-purpose analytics platform.

The main switching question is whether your work fits inside its page allowance and browser-extension workflow. Data Miner lists a free plan, but its free and Solo tiers both cap scraping at 500 pages per month. Higher-volume plans raise that limit; they do not remove the need to track it.

Data Miner’s useful feature is that it puts rule-based extraction and custom scraping in one browser extension. You can start with a pre-made rule or build a custom query, then export results to CSV or Excel. For jobs that involve more than one page, the listed tools include multi-page crawling and automatic pagination.

Bulk URL jobs and CSV-based form filling also suit repetitive marketing or sales workflows: provide a URL list for scraping, or use a pre-filled CSV to populate forms. The pricing page lists automated scrape crawls and custom JavaScript on every paid individual and business plan. Those plans also include access to all domains, a Google Sheets connection, and full email support.

The free plan is useful for a small evaluation: it includes 500 pages per month, public and new recipes, and Next Page Automation. The trade-off is its domain restriction. Solo costs $19.99 per month and retains the 500-page cap, but lists all-domain access, automated crawls, custom JavaScript, and Google Sheets. So the paid upgrade is more about access and workflow features than more monthly pages.

The page caps are the clearest constraint. Starter is limited to 500 pages per month, and Solo costs $19.99 monthly while keeping that same 500-page allowance. Small Business raises the cap to 1,000 pages for $49 per month; Business includes 4,000 for $99; Business Plus includes 9,000 for $200. If your jobs regularly exceed those limits, the pricing page points to Custom Enterprise, with higher scrape limits and flexible pricing but no published price.

The free tier is also restricted on some domains, while Solo and the listed higher paid plans specify all domains. That makes the free plan a poor fit if your target sites hit those restrictions. Paid plans are billed monthly until canceled, and annual prices are not shown, so there is no listed annual discount to compare.

Data Miner’s value depends on whether browser-based scraping and its page allowance match your workload. The published pricing details do not publish enterprise pricing or a free-trial period. Check the page cap and domain access against your current jobs before switching.

Data Miner’s Starter plan is free and includes 500 pages per month, but it restricts use on some domains. Solo costs $19.99 per month for the same 500-page allowance, with all-domain access, automated crawls, custom JavaScript, Google Sheets connection and full email support.

The first paid-tier jump buys access, not more pages. Small Business is $49 per month for 1,000 pages; Business is $99 for 4,000; and Business Plus is $200 for 9,000. That is a steep climb if your workload grows past the included cap. Custom Enterprise pricing is not published; the plan lists higher limits and scraping on Data Miner servers.

The pricing page says plans bill monthly until canceled. Annual prices are not shown, and no add-ons are listed. Check your expected monthly page volume and whether your target domains are allowed on Starter before choosing a plan.

Data Miner runs as a Chrome or Edge extension and exports scraped results to CSV or Excel, so those files can move into other spreadsheet or data tools. That covers the output, but the published details do not say whether custom rules, saved recipes, or crawl setups can be exported or imported. If you are replacing another scraper, plan to check those workflows before assuming you can bring them across.

Leaving may be straightforward if you only need the exported files; preserving reusable extraction rules could take more work if they cannot be transferred. Data Miner supports pre-made and custom rules, multi-page crawling, automatic pagination, bulk URL jobs and form filling, so map which of those jobs you would need to rebuild elsewhere.

The published material includes no Reddit posts or comments, so we cannot verify what users say tends to make them leave. Page caps, Starter’s domain restrictions, and the cost of higher-volume plans are concrete reasons to compare alternatives.
