A:

If you would like to try out Octoparse Professional Plan, feel free to apply for a 5-day Pro trial. Professional trial will be immediately activated when you apply. All the advanced features like executing tasks in the cloud, task scheduling, API access, auto IP rotation, etc. are included in the trial. Here is a guide of applying the Pro trial:

1. Click the “Pro Trial” button in the bottom right of the webpage after you sign into your account

2. Fill out the application form

3. Click the “Submit” button

 You would get 5-day Pro Trial as soon as you click the "Submit" button.

Note:

a) Before requesting the Pro trial, we strongly recommend you make your scraping task ready. This means that your scraping task is well configured for retrieving data and can be run in your own machine.

b) The Pro trial lasts for 5 days (120 hours). When the trial ends, the account will resume to Free.

c) If you are using Octoparse with the free account, please close the software and restart it again to use the Professional trial. You can check your trial expiration date in your account.

d) You will NOT be charged after the free trial period is over.

If you would like to subscribe the premium plans during the trial period, you can go to your account page and upgrade your plan under the "Plan & Subscription" tab. For more details, please read this article.

e) The Pro trial can only be requested once per account.
After your trial expires, you'll receive an email from our Support Team to make sure you are satisfied with our paid subscription. If you want to extend your trial for particular reason, please contact us HERE. We’d happy to help.
