WEll your asking a subjective question and the subjective part is how you define "better".Hey Loopline, I have GSA contact and I am using it for scrapping. But I would like to know, what is better for scraping between this and scrapebox?
Its no secret I love scrapebox and its also no secret scrapebox is uber powerful. So which can scrape faster? Scrapebox, I have a video showing scrapebox scraping more then 1 million urls per minute, yes minute, from google.
But again, which is better is subjective because really, if you put in the word car into google, all things being equal, scrapebox and gsa website contact are both going to give you the result, because they are just giving you what google gives them and google is going to give out the same results, again all things being equal.
But, website contact is really good at submitting contact forms. Scrapebox is good too, but website contacts key advantage, is that its pretrained on a load of forms. Mind you it alone costs more then scrapebox and scrapebox can do 10,000 other things besides post contact forms, but the point is that I personally pay for website contact because its pretrained on so many forms, that is the key selling point for me.
So since I want website contact to post, why would i waste its resources scraping? I let website contact do the posting and scrapebox do the scraping, because, in this case, thats what each program does best out of the box. Sure you can train scrapebox to post to a lot if not all of the form types gsa can post to, and thats great, but I can also just let them be as they are and use whats best about each to make money without the training.
So Im not sure if that really answers your questions, but thats how I approach it.
