## Pick HTTrack if…

- You want it free and open source
- You use Linux or Android, or switch between computers
- You need a site behind your own login

## Pick Cyotek WebCopy if…

- You’re on Windows and want detailed copy rules
- You’re happy with a stable release from 2023
- You want a clear window to set up a crawl

## Pick SiteSucker if…

- You’re on a Mac and want a simple native app
- You run long jobs you can pause and resume
- A small one-time price is fine

## 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.

## Questions and answers

### 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.
