What It Is

Ahmad Software Technologies offers a set of desktop web-scraping tools focused on lead generation. Its products include Cute Web Email Extractor, Google Map Extractor, LinkedIn/Sales Navigator/Recruiter Extractor, Xing Lead Extractor, Anysite Scraper, Yellow Pages/Yelp Scraper, and others. The positioning is to help non-technical users automate the extraction of website and platform data to generate B2B leads such as contacts, companies, job titles, email addresses, and phone numbers.

Core Capabilities

Functionally, it is closer to a “customer acquisition toolkit” than a developer API platform. Anysite Scraper supports configuration for XPath, parent-node selection, detail-page link collection, pagination, data loaded after clicks, attribute values, image URLs, email extraction, and more. It also supports dynamic pages with auto-scroll and configurable waiting times. Email Extractor supports crawl depth, concurrent processes, proxies, User Agent settings, URL exclusions, page filters, keyword filters, text replacement/removal, request delays, and random delays, with export to .xlsx, .csv, and .txt. The LinkedIn and Xing-related tools emphasize account tiers, daily visit limits, random delays, historical deduplication, and automatic recovery.

Pricing and Licensing

The main text indicates that its licenses are annual and licensed per computer; the same license cannot be used on multiple computers. Support and updates are free for one year. Users can request a trial license by sending the software serial key. Payment methods include PayPal, credit cards, Moneygram, Western Union, and it also mentions that Perfect Money can be used with Bitcoin or USD. However, the scraped text does not provide specific prices.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are broad platform coverage, a focus on sales, recruiting, and marketing teams, and a relatively graphical configuration approach that is friendly to non-engineering users. It also includes practical features such as proxies, delays, auto-save, crash recovery, and data export. The downsides are that there is no visible API/SDK or code-level integration capability; computer-bound licensing is not very flexible; and some FAQ answers are missing or duplicated, with copywriting errors and mixed template content. More importantly, platforms such as LinkedIn and Xing have account/IP restrictions, and the software itself warns users to control frequency and assume the risks themselves.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for sales or marketing teams that need to bulk organize public web contact information, Xing leads in the DACH region, and merchant information from maps or yellow pages. It is not suitable for development teams that need compliant data pipelines, cloud-based collaboration, API integration, or large-scale, stable crawling infrastructure. The main text does not specify accessibility or payment availability from China. If you rely on target sites such as Google, LinkedIn, or Facebook, additional network conditions may be required in a China-based environment. Alternatives could include local compliant data sources or self-built crawling solutions.
