Overall Satisfaction with Apify

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Apify daily to scrape several websites and automate our data intelligence and research. It helps because each site is different, and while setup takes effort, Apify provides pre-built templates that streamline the process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

scraping
data extraction
api connection to retrieve data for more complex processing

Cons

unified pricing
more understandable pricing (cpu usage + separate actors etc)

Return on Investment

speeding scraping setup up

Usability

I think this is really good if you have grasped the concept of how Apify works, which is basically an app store for scrapers and some other data processing tools. Once you understand that, and if you are at least at a power-user level—where you don't necessarily know how to write code but can use AI to generate code and figure out more complex solutions—then this is good.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best suited if you know how to use APIs and want to automate things, for example with n8n.

I think it is least suited if you need to process or scrape a lot but don’t know how to program; some of the actors may be too difficult to figure out.
