Apify is a full-stack web scraping and automation platform that helps anyone get value from the web. At its core is Apify Store, a marketplace where developers build, publish, and monetize automation tools called Actors.

Developers build them using JavaScript, Python, or tools like Crawlee, Apify's open-source web scraping library. Build an Actor once, publish it to Store, and…

Considered Both Products
Apify
Chose Apify
At least for us, it stacks up favorably against n8n. While n8n is an excellent product, it isn't built for heavy scraping or large-scale automation. On the other hand, Apify is a platform built with the purpose of scaling. It handles the hardest parts out of the box, letting us …
Chose Apify
way simpler both in usage and compliance
Chose Apify
Apify stood out mainly for its ease of use. The interface is much more intuitive, and the learning curve is far shorter, especially for those who are not highly technical.

Another major advantage is the availability of community-built pre-built actors. While other platforms …
Chose Apify
More flexibility, more options, better features, better version control, more customization.
Chose Apify
Function is almost same but it is more expensive.
Chose Apify
so these other services are great for automation, but they're more like processors. Apify is more about getting you the data that you'd feed INTO these processes, so they're more complementary than competing. I don't think there's anything quite like Apify, especially not at …
Chose Apify
Very good integrated scraping actors. With these platforms you have to use your own
Chose Apify
Apify is generally easies o use and cheaper and im just more familiar with Apify
Chose Apify
I haven't used other API marketplaces. I've only been used to directly using specific APIs, or doing my own rudimentary scraping tasks myself. This is such a giant step up from that.
Chose Apify
They are expensive and I have to use multiple platform but in Apify its cheaper and I can do it using one platform
Chose Apify
Because I am a part of big Ai automation community and almsot everyone there recommended i use Apify because of its user friendly interface and integration with other platforms that automaters use such as make.com and n8n
Chose Apify
I didn't try anything else for the moment.
Chose Apify
I prefer Apify because is more easy to use for non-technical people
Chose Apify
The reason we prefer Apify to other alternatives is that it has more functionality and APIs that serve different purposes. In addition, thanks to its libraries prepared for easy integration into many programming languages, it becomes very easy to integrate into every project in …
Chose Apify
I've tried many web scrapers but apify provides the lowest barrier to entry to even seeing if there's proof of concept of an idea. many scrapers make promises based on things that don't work or maybe worked once upon a time, but don't work anymore. Apify lets you see what is …
Chose Apify
Friendly trial tier. Lower pricing tier is sufficient for small users/ clients for start.

Apify
Very well suited for situations where I need well-structured data at scale, automating interactions with websites that do not provide an official API, and dealing with JavaScript-heavy pages. Less ideal for situations that require real-time data updates, or instant even even-driven processing. It's designed more for scheduled tasks.

Pros
Apify
  • Social media scraping is phenomenal and allows you to have information practically in real time in seconds, which would otherwise be very laborious.
  • Extracting data from a social network like TikTok also makes our data analysis much simpler.
  • Extracting ideas from articles is now much easier, thanks to everything that can be achieved with the range of tools offered by Apify.

Cons
Apify
  • sometimes the devs are working on one of the scrapers when it breaks and you don't really get a notice for that, it just doesn't work. Esp starts to be a problem when it's supposed to be running in the background.
  • Loading cookies into the different actors is kind of a pain.
  • vague pricing models. all the actors are priced differently, and the difference between "usage" "result" and "event" is pretty confusing

Likelihood to Renew
Apify
It's the best because you can just load in a limited amount of money and limit your financial exposure to using a tool like this. so renewing isn't a big consideration... i know that i'm going to need the tool in the future and i'll load it with money accordingly when im ready.

Usability
Apify
The site is laid out pretty well. There is a learning curve, but it is not steep. Integrations are fairly straightforward using the API and JSON files. Integrates well with Make automations, which is essential for our team and organization. I am pleased with the performance and flexibility of the platform.
