When none of them fits
These apps copy many pages from the server. If you want one modern page as it renders, Sitepeel’s Website to HTML saves it from a link, and its Clone prompt writes a prompt that rebuilds it with AI. Sitepeel doesn’t crawl whole sites.
The verdict
Questions
Is Cyotek WebCopy free?
Yes, it’s free to use, and donations are welcome. It’s Windows only and needs .NET Framework 4.6.
Is there a Cyotek WebCopy for Mac?
No, it’s Windows only. On a Mac, use SiteSucker, or HTTrack on macOS 15 or later with Apple Silicon.
Is SiteSucker free?
No. It’s $5.99 once on the Mac App Store. SiteSucker Pro has a 14-day trial limited to 100 files at a time, and adds embedded videos.
Which one copies a site behind a login?
Cyotek WebCopy can log in to areas you have access to. HTTrack 3.51 can use a login or CAPTCHA session from your own browser. Check first that you may copy the site.
Do they copy pages built with JavaScript?
Often not fully. Cyotek says WebCopy doesn’t parse JavaScript, and crawlers in general save what the server sends. A browser tool like Sitepeel’s Website to HTML saves one page as it renders.
