User Testimonials
	Apify	PhantomBuster
Likelihood to Recommend	Apify It is common practice for developers to search for REST endpoints on other websites in order to retrieve data from other websites in a structured format such as JSON. However, not all websites have built distinct REST APIs; in this situation, Apify is quite beneficial. The majority of the time, the data that an organization collects is what is considered to be of the utmost importance. In comparison to the other systems that are currently accessible, Apify makes it simple to supply clean data. Incentivized Marie M. Bennett System Administrator Read full review	PhantomBuster It is very useful for data extraction from different sources and automation like Linkedin invitation My databases would not have the quality they have right now if I did not use Phantombuster It is not very useful for Mails Extractions, Phantombuster extraction tools does not give you goods mailing format Incentivized Camilo Honorato Marketing Analyst Read full review

Support Rating	Apify 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. Katarína M. Junior Content Marketing Specialist Read full review	PhantomBuster No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Apify Although the purposes and aims of all three products vary widely, I have found Apify to be the most effective option for web scraping for academic purposes. As someone with only a few months' worths of experience with web scraping, I have found Apify's detailed blog posts and very friendly customer support invaluable in my research. Fran Hodgens Undergraduate Research Fellow Read full review	PhantomBuster I don't really have the opportunity to test another Data Extraction tool like Phantombuster. When I started my job they already have bought this tool so I learned how to use it and honestly I do not have any need to change it. I think Phantombuster is the best for this Incentivized Camilo Honorato Marketing Analyst Read full review
Return on Investment	Apify Data gathering process is fully automized with high relevance output. Data are up-to-date with minimum delay. We use extra time for better decision making process instead of report preparation.
