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.

The lowest-priced plan that has all the features needed and is recommended as a starting point. If users exceed the platform usage credits for a plan, a notification is sent, and the excess usage will be added to the next invoice or the user can upgrade to a higher plan.
Apify is, in my experience, the most successful choice when it comes to web scraping for academic reasons, despite the fact that the goals and purposes of all three applications are very different from one another. In spite of the fact that I have only been web scraping for a …
It's about people we know and previous references we've got. We've started with a smaller project and we're very satisfied with how the overall process was. From the first contact till the successful delivery. Thus, we decide to continue our collaboration with Apify on further …
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.
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 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.
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 different languages. In this way, it deserves to be ahead of its competitors.
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
