# Comparison between Zillow Data Exporter and Export Zillow data to Excel

![A chess game](https://www.propertydatalabs.com/img/chess-battle.webp)

## Introduction

In a previous [blog post](/blog/comparison-between-zillow-data-exporter-and-other-extensions),
we took a look at the state of the [Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) extension market when searching on the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions) with the term **Zillow**.

We came to the conclusion that the term **Zillow** itself was not a good enough search term
as we ended up finding extensions that did not do exactly what we were looking for.

This time, by searching with the two following keywords: **Zillow Excel**, we found another extension that seems to be the main competitor of [Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom).

This extension's name is [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena).

In a previous [blog post](/blog/comparison-between-zillow-data-exporter-and-other-extensions), we learned that an extension formerly known as **Zillow to Excel**
is no longer available on the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions).
For further information as to why it was removed from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions), I invite you to read the following [blog post](/blog/why-was-zillow-to-excel-removed-from-the-chrome-store).

## Exploration of Export Zillow data to Excel

[Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena) is an extension that does one thing only. It exports the data from Zillow into an Excel file.

I have tested [the extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena) and I am happy to report that it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
No fluff. No ads. No distractions. And it worked every time I used it.

But as always there are some differences between [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena)
and [Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom).

## Price

### [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena)

It's free to export a maximum of **25 listings at a time** but if you want to export more listings, then you'll need to **purchase a subscription**.

The price of the subscription is **USD $29/month**.

If you have a subscription, you can extract all the listings in one go.
That is if you end up with 20 pages of results, [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena) can navigate through each page and extract all the listings for you.

### [Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom)

[Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom) does not require a subscription at this stage and is complete **free** to use.
I may roll out a subscription in the future if there is enough demand for it.

You can export up to **40 listings at a time** but if you want to export more listings you will need to navigate to each page and export the listings manually.

## File export formats

### [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena)

Although [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena) claims to export listings to Excel,
it actually creates a **CSV** file.

To learn more about the differences between the two formats, I recommend you read the following blog post: [What is the difference between Excel and CSV formats?](/blog/what-is-the-difference-between-excel-and-csv-formats).

I personally find it a bit *disingenuous* if not downright *dishonest* to call an extension **Export Zillow data to Excel** if in reality the exported file is a **CSV** file.

### [Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom)

[Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom) allows you to choose your file export format.

You can choose the exported file's format between **CSV** and **Excel (.xlsx)**, which is the proper **Excel** format.

Being able to export listings in **Excel (.xlsx)** format is a great benefit, as it's easier to work with in Excel and to share with others.

## Export preview

### [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena)

[Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena) allows you to preview the exported file before downloading it.
It is very useful to see what the exported file will look like before you download it.

Although it does have some limitations as it is a simple preview and you cannot interact with the data.

![Export Zillow data to Excel extension file preview](https://www.propertydatalabs.com/img/export-zillow-data-to-excel-preview.webp)

### [Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom)

[Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom) does not currently
allow you to preview the exported file before downloading it.

I will most likely add this feature in the future as it should not take very long to add this new functionality and the benefit is that it will help you make sure that the data exported is what you want.

## Export while browsing

### [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena)

![Export Zillow data to Excel extract while browsing preview](https://www.propertydatalabs.com/img/better-extract-as-you-browse.webp)

  Export Zillow data to Excel's extract while browsing feature.

[Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena) allows you to export listings while browsing the [Zillow](https://www.zillow.com) website.
That means that it can extract each property listing while you browse the web page. If you navigate to page 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. you will be able to export all the listings on each page.

You will still have to press the "Export" button to start the export.

### [Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom)

[Zillow Data Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zillow-data-exporter/amgdkfaadejipgcjankdolopgcemolom) does not currently
allow you to extract all the listings at once. You have to navigate to each page manually and export the listings present on the page.

I will roll out this feature in the future as it definitely makes it a lot easier to extract all the listings.
This feature will be a paid feature as it will require a lot of work to implement.

## Extension updates

### [Export Zillow data to Excel](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/export-zillow-data-to-exc/ncdkikkacogkekgnnmmiokebkkcblena)
