I bought the Pro, but at the moment it is half price, and unbelievably, I got a 50% academic discount on the half price deal. So I only paid 25% of the normal price !!

I agree it is expensive and I would try the free version, and read the comparative features list carefully, before laying out the money.

However, the standard version at $30 sounds pretty good. The “for Maxthon (MyIE2)” bit on the order page makes little sense as the same version of Netsnippets works with all supported browsers. Certainly the registration number that I got works with Firefox and MSIE.

I have been doing a lot of web searching compliling a “what is available catalogue” of digital data capture tools (hardware and software) and nothing I had was really working very well.

I was doing something similar to you, with different types of information going into different databases. It was all a bit of a mess and even if I had paid the full price for netsnippets it would have been worth it.

If you don’t want the standard HTML save, then there is the free “scrapbook” addin for Firefox that works very well. There are also other programs like Onfolio http://www.onfolio.com which do similar things, but don’t store the data in HTML, so you are locked into the specific program.
