About Apify

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. Developers build them using JavaScript, Python, or tools like Crawlee, Apify's open-source web scraping library. Build an Actor once, publish it to Store, and earn when others use it. Thousands of developers already do this - Apify handles all the infrastructure, billing, and monthly payouts.

For everyone else, Apify means never building from scratch. Apify Store features 10,000+ ready-made Actors for extracting Amazon product data, scraping Google Maps listings, monitoring competitor prices, pulling social media content, generating leads, and hundreds of other use cases. Configure the Actor you need, run it, and get your data.

Behind the scenes, Actors handle proxy rotation, CAPTCHA bypassing, JavaScript rendering, headless browsers, scaling, storage, and scheduling. Everything runs on Apify's cloud infrastructure with 99.95% uptime. The platform is SOC 2 Type II, GD...

Reliable web data backbone for automation and lead mining

Overall my experience with Apify has been very positive. It has replaced a lot of fragile scripts and manual data collection, and now most of our lead and market data flows in automatically on a schedule. Once an actor is stable, it becomes a reusable building block we can drop into new automations and services for clients.

Functionality

Pros:

Apify gives me a reliable web data backbone without running my own scraping infra. Actors handle proxies, captchas, and scheduling, and I just work with clean JSON. It is flexible enough for custom use cases but still easy to plug into tools like Make, CRMs, and databases.

Cons:

There is a learning curve for non-technical users, especially around actors, datasets, and mapping results. When you manage many actors, the UI can feel a bit crowded, and I would like stronger built-in dashboards and alerting. None of these are deal breakers, but they are areas that could improve.

Robust and Scalable Web Scraping Platform for Business Use

We’ve had an excellent experience using Apify across multiple data-driven projects. It has enabled us to collect structured data from various sources and stream it directly into our internal AI pipeline for brand sentiment analysis. The automation has saved us both time and engineering resources, while the platform’s flexibility has allowed us to scale without needing major infrastructure changes. It’s become a key part of our data operations.

Functionality

Pros:

Apify provides a powerful and flexible environment for building custom web scraping workflows. The Actor system is incredibly modular, the platform scales well, and integrations via webhooks or APIs are seamless. Their built-in scheduling, dataset management, and UI make automation easy even at scale.

Cons:

There is a bit of a learning curve for new users, especially if they don't have experience with JavaScript or backend workflows. While the documentation is solid, more visual tools or low-code components could help non-developers onboard faster.

Reasons for switching to Apify

We switched from Bright Data to Apify because Apify offers more than just proxy services—it provides a complete scraping and automation platform. The ability to build, schedule, and manage scraping tasks in one place, along with seamless integration into our Google Cloud pipeline, made it a better fit for our use case.

Pros:

- ready-to use templates or services - faster delivery - the ability to publish SaaS or automation Actors (services)

Cons:

- the pricing docs / structure - for developers: dynamic select options rather than static options in the json file - for UX: there are inputs that depend on another input value and thus based on the input value we shall show only the relevant inputs, for example an input 1 is a select input that has 2 options (option 1 and option 2), based on it's value I shall show input 2 and input 5 if I select option 1, and I shall show input 3 and input 4 if I select option 2, what happens is that we display all the inputs (input 1, input 2, input 3, input 4, input 5)

Great Nitter alternative

Apify has been really good to me. They have a well designed website where it's generally easy to find things. Their actor marketplace is surprisingly large. There is a variety of budget actors, and really expensive actors, but that's not really a complaint, that just means those actors aren't for me! I'm pretty budget conscious so I do lots of shopping around. I've been using Twitter scraping services and I've found a few that are really good, reliable services so I can get the business data I need.

Pros:

I like that Apify has a huge marketplace of data vendors. I personally am only using offerings which provide twitter scraping, but there are all sorts of other social media scraping actors which I could potentially use in the future.

Cons:

The pricing on Apify is kind of confusing. They have a subscription fee, then on top of that there are different kinds of pricings per each actor. Things like usage based, and pay-per-result. It's not completely clear how much I'm going to be paying every month, which is not great, but there are subscription plan limits so I suppose that's going to protect me from any surprises.

Reasons for choosing Apify

Apify cost waaay less than official Twitter API.

Reasons for switching to Apify

I was using Nitter (alternative twitter frontend.) Nitter became unusable in 2024, without full time maintenance of bot accounts and circumventing twitter's countermeasures. Now, I'm paying someone via Apify marketplace and it's going good for me.

best actor marketplace

Been using Apify a ton lately. If you're in data, automation, scraping, or market research it's hands down one of the most powerful platforms out there. Tons of ready-made actors, customizable flows and solid support. Great for teams or solo builders trying to scale smarter. Can’t recommend it enough.

Functionality

Pros:

The flexibility. You can use prebuilt actors out of the box or build something completely custom when needed. It handles dynamic content well, scales cleanly, and doesn’t force you into a rigid UI. Also, being able to schedule runs and integrate with APIs makes it easy to fold into other workflows.

Cons:

Debugging can be a bit clunky, especially with custom actors. Would be nice to have more visual tools or clearer logs when something breaks. Also, the actor marketplace could use better sorting or quality indicators to help surface the best stuff faster.

Reasons for switching to Apify

We tried Octoparse first — it’s solid for basic scraping, but started to feel limiting once our use cases got more complex. Apify gave us way more flexibility, especially with custom actors and scheduling. It also handled dynamic sites better. For us, Apify just scaled further and felt more like a proper platform, not just a tool.
