Apify vs. Seamless.AI

Scraping JavaScript-heavy pages (prices, listings): the Web Scraper actor renders everything and returns clean JSON. One-off, tiny jobs where manual copy-paste beats setting up an actor. Nightly, large-scale crawls that need proxy rotation, retries, and clear logs - platform uptime stays above 99 %. docs. Not so well suited: teams without technical knowledge

Seamless AI is very well suited for the first round of prospecting, or when going after a very publicly known and traded company. A good example would be popular brand names in the country. Whereas it does show limitations for smaller companies, it cannot yield deep data in the same way as others might. However, it is agile, very fast, and compatible. I highly recommend it to any sales force.

• Scrape data from a website
• Scrape data from other softwares like apollo, meta ad library, etc.

• Refresh Rate of Seamless.ai is quite good. A quick way to know this is see if a lead has changed jobs recently on LinkedIn, how quickly does it get refreshed in Seamless
• Search Capabilities are decent. Not as strong as some of its competitors, but would do the job for sure.
• Exporting lead lists is a great feature and a boon for saving a lot of time. Direct CSVs can be exported and fed into the CRM.

Incentivized

• It is a little bit pricey on paid things
• Some api end points are sometimes hard to understand but still ok
• More free credits

• Enrichment / Data Quality: Phone Number quality can be way better than it is right now. Even email addresses are incorrect a lot of times.
• Industry Filter: There are just way too many industries. Some of them definitely can be grouped / combined to help land at search results faster.

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 added value we add to the data we obtain using Apify provides our company with hundreds of dollars of profit every month. In addition, the time and energy we save by doing this work completely with automation instead of manually returns to us as extra profit. In addition, this profit is much more than the money we have to pay to use Apify.

It is agile, quick, simple, and ironically Seamless. Just as it is aptly named, we see it being able to quickly be brought up, perform its task, and be packed away with results rather quickly. It lacks the full ten out of ten score due to it being more of a "fast, basic" lead capture tool, compared to the main market, which is full of deep dive software. This is useful, as sometimes in our business, only rudimentary information, or a single name, is required.

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 saves a lot of money compared to buying a subscription to another lead scraping software. It also integrates with automation software, so few data cleaning and lead enrichment steps are required. This saves a lot of time, as run times can be costly after a lot of use.

Seamless.AI is hands down the best platform currently out in the market and cost effective. ZoomInfo is great as well, but their price compared to Seamless.AI is more than half of them. Why pay more for the same great product?
