Capterra Review Scraper ⭐

Extract verified software reviews from Capterra — ratings, reviewer metadata, pros/cons, detailed comments. Fast direct API scraping at scale.

⭐ What It Does

This tool pulls verified software reviews directly from Capterra without needing a browser. It grabs the full review picture — overall score, sub-ratings (ease of use, value for money, functionality, customer support), pros/cons, author details, and more — then outputs structured JSON ready for analysis, import, or integration.

👥 Who It's For

• Product teams — gather user feedback to prioritize roadmaps and fix pain points
• Marketers & brand managers — monitor sentiment across software categories
• Analysts & researchers — build training datasets, benchmark software vs. competitors
• Lead gen & sales teams — identify verified current-user reviews for social proof campaigns
• Software reviewers & bloggers — collect structured review data at scale

B2B SaaS Benchmarking

Track sub-ratings (ease of use, value for money, customer support) over time to benchmark how your product stacks up against the market.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a proxy? A: Not strictly — this scraper calls Capterra directly. For high-volume runs, enabling Apify Proxy with residential IPs is recommended.

Q: How is this different from a traditional web scraper? A: Most scrapers need a full browser to load pages — slower startup, more memory, and extra overhead. This tool calls Capterra's data endpoint directly, so it starts instantly and handles large scrape jobs without breaking a sweat.

Q: What does recommendation_rating mean? A: A 0–10 score measuring how strongly the reviewer recommends the product. It's separate from the 5-star overall rating and gives finer-grained signal for recommendation intent.

Q: Can I scrape multiple products in one run? A: Yes. Enter multiple product slugs in the queries array (e.g. ["jira", "slack", "zendesk"]). The scraper handles up to 3 concurrently per run.

Q: What does incentivized mean? A: Indicates whether the reviewer received an incentive from Capterra to leave the review (e.g. NominalGift). Empty string means no incentive was given — a genuine unprompted review.
