Overall Satisfaction with Apify
I use Apify all the time when automating sales systems. My top use cases are: scraping lead info from databases, scraping personal info from websites, linkedin profiles, etc. I also use Apify in make.com scenarios, which run daily in my business. I've tried to create webscraping tech before, but it's way easier to pay a few cents in API calls than to build it yourself. Would highly recommend.
Pros
- comprehensive array of actors. whatever you need, there's an actor for it. I don't have to go on multiple websites with different logins - everything is all in one place.
- Integrations with make.com and other no-code platforms.
- Super easy-to-use api endpoints, have not had many issues at all.
Cons
- 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
- results-based pricing is huge - across the whole platform I can try different actors and not have to change payment plans all the time
- the time saving here is unimaginable - imagine trying to build a scraper for every site that you needed and maintain all of them: disgusting. Instead, we get to use Apify.
- $39/mo to scrape any data off the internet = crazy ROI
