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. Actors are serverless cloud programs that extract data, automate web tasks, and run AI agents. 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…

i tried PhantomBuster and ScraperAPI before but Apify is way better for technical stuff... PhantomBuster is okay for linkedin but too limited with their recipes while Apify lets u customize everything with actors. ScraperAPI is just proxies but Apify is a whole platform with …
Apify is more data heavy than Apollo and can be used to greater effect. Also, Apollo is not a very user friendly service and Apify is much more easily navigable than Apollo.
I don't know the competitors, but why look elsewhere for something that works so well? je ne connais pas les concurrents mais pourquoi aller chercher ailleurs ce qui fonctionne si bien.
Apify stacks up against them because it gives users independence. n8n is a visual platform, but it limits your creativity and is considered a low-hanging or low-code platform. However, Apify is not like this. Apify is developed for programmers with a serverless platform. It …
Apify is in a league of it's own in terms of flexibility and the ability to connect the API into lead generation automations on n8n or Make.com. The variety of actors available is much larger than most other scraping sources and for anyone looking for lead enrichment, it is …
Apify does its own thing and delivers value based on its core features, but I still rate Apify as my number one platform for finding and using web scrapers. In terms of how it stacks, I use Apify alongside Bright Data for web research workflows.

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
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 …
I used other platforms such as n8n and make.com, and Apify seems more reliable because it is built for real developers. It gives much more independence than other platforms. Maybe in terms of storage and processing speed needs to be improvement for AI-generated content.
I love how intuitive the interface is. Even without deep coding knowledge, I can set up workflows quickly. The ready‑made actors are extremely helpful and cover most of my use cases.
Apify makes it incredibly easy to automate repetitive web tasks. The platform is stable, the actors run smoothly, and the logs give me full visibility into every step.
Apify offers impressive flexibility — from custom actors to API integrations and scheduling options. It scales well even with large workloads, and the performance has been consistent.
Some actors are very expensive and offer limited value - $120 / month before event charges? That's insane. The monthly price also isn't listed in the main search screen, so you need to go in manually to each actor to ascertain how much it really costs
Some actors often break after a while and you need to start searching for new ones... but I guess that's the price for relying on 3rd party actors in your marketplace
The review/quality process isn't great to navigate when looking for a new tool.
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.
Very very easy to use, subscriber in a heartbeat. Most of the apps available you may need to explore a bit, but generally you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for and it will get the job done. The ability to choose what you want to do with it and for independent providers being able to place their apps in the marketplace makes it strong
