Apify vs. Oxylabs

The best scenario that I use Apify a lot is scraping leads. Earlier I used to scrape that Apollo lead scraper after that I shifted to another one. The quality of leads are great and yeah the Apify lead scraper is great to go. I totally like that the quality is amazing.

• 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.

• 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

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.

The platform strikes an ideal balance between power and simplicity. We find that even complex scraping workflows are easy to build and maintain, thanks to the intuitive interface, clear logs, and well-designed actor architecture. It has made large-scale automation far more accessible than having to build everything in-house.

I was very happy with the support I received from Apify. They are always ready to answer all your questions and help solve problems you have.

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.

• No need to search for high-quality web-scrapers
• Its more costly than finding free solutions, but the advanced product of Apify will make up for that
• No need to worry about multiple different implementations for different products. You only have to care about the Apify implementation which saves you a lot of time
