A: No, I wouldn't compare it to Octoparse. Octoparse is scraping as a service.

Table Capture is a tool to get tabular data into your spreadsheet app of choice in a 0-config, 2 seconds sort of way.

Like...you're living your best internet life. You then run into a table and want it in Google Sheets or Excel. With Table Capture: Right click, launch, 2 clicks later you're done.

With Octoparse, you can have that table scraped, but first you have to define a scrape job. (I'm assuming - I've never actually used their product; I'm sure it's great!) It's a bit heavy for a lot of tasks. Also, the Octoparse standard plan is $75/month.

I can't say which tool is the right one for *your needs*. There's more info about Table Capture here:

Also, I'm happy to do a Zoom demo with you. Just hit me up!
