Overall Satisfaction with Apify

We lean on Apify every single day to pull structured data from sites that refuse to offer an API. The actors spin up fast, handle JavaScript-heavy pages without a fuss, and drop clean JSON straight into our databases. From there, our AI pipelines - analytics dashboards, enrichment jobs, language-model prompts - drink it up with zero hand-holding. We’ve tried rolling our own scrapers; none matched Apify’s uptime, proxy rotation, or the dead-simple scheduler that keeps nightly crawls on rails. When something breaks, verbose logs point to the root cause quickly, and a tiny JavaScript tweak gets us back on track. Bottom line: Apify lets us focus on insights, not plumbing, and its predictable pricing keeps finance happy.

We use Apify every day and it just works.

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.
