A Windows desktop web scraper you buy once. No subscription.
Helium Scraper is a point-and-click web scraper for Windows, still sold in 2026. You pay once, from $99, and keep it. There is a fully working 10-day trial.
It runs several off-screen Chromium browsers at once to pull data from sites, then stores results in SQLite and exports to CSV, Excel, XML or JSON. You build a workflow from predefined actions, and you can add JavaScript, rotate proxies and block images to speed things up. Jobs can run on a schedule from the command line or Windows Task Scheduler, at home or on a Windows server.
Bottom line: Helium Scraper suits people who want a desktop tool with a one-time price. If you are on a Mac, or want a cloud scraper that runs without your machine, look at the alternatives.
