What we think after testing Data Miner
Editorial review by Devansh Rao · last tested May 26, 2026
Data Miner is a legitimate, actively maintained web-scraping product delivered as a Chrome and Edge browser extension by Software Innovation Lab LLC, based in Seattle, Washington (a physical address and phone number are published, which is a positive trust signal). Its core proposition is accessibility: more than 50,000 pre-built public recipes let non-technical users extract structured data from common sites in one click, while a custom rule builder, CSS selector finder, automatic pagination, table extraction, bulk scraping from URL lists, form filling, and image/snapshot capture extend it to moderately complex jobs. Pricing is transparent and subscription-based: a free Starter plan (500 pages/month), Solo at $19.99/month, Small Business at $49, Business at $99, Business Plus at $200, and a custom Enterprise tier, with page-volume caps rising by tier.
The free plan is real and usable rather than a time-limited trial, which lowers the barrier to evaluation. The main limitations are architectural: because scraping runs inside the user own browser, Data Miner is not a managed proxy/data-API service — there is no IP rotation pool, no country targeting, and no large-scale infrastructure, so heavy or anti-bot-protected scraping is out of scope.
Whether a programmatic API is offered is not stated and is reported as not disclosed. Support is via email, phone, and recurring office hours; 24/7 support is not claimed.
Overall, for analysts, marketers, and researchers needing approachable extraction without coding, Data Miner is a solid live option; teams needing large-scale, proxy-backed scraping should look elsewhere.
