Head of Technology and Innovation Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Apify get's the job done!" November 18, 2025 5.0 From my experience so far, Apify is especially well-suited for scenarios like automating data extraction from platforms such as LinkedIn Jobs, running scheduled scrapers, or integrating structured data directly into workflows and dashboards.

Pros As a new Apify user, I’ve been impressed with how quickly I was able to get up and running—just a few clicks, and the actors I needed were already working perfectly. The trial credits are generous, which makes it easy to explore different use cases without worrying about cost right away.

CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Satisfied api user" June 15, 2025 5.0 I kinda love it. I use it in my n 8 workflows to automate web scraping and finding leads, enriching leads and much more. haven't faced any problem and setting it up is also easy. Plus its not that expensive Pros I love that we can use it via apis - I use it in my n8n workflows to perform and automate web scraping. plus there are hundreds of actors to choose from. Cons It does not have an inbuilt database table for storing data even though it lets you export the scraped data but a clean database would be so much better. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Outstanding Automation Platform – A Game Changer for Web Scraping and Bots" July 15, 2025 5.0 Their customer support is responsive and helpful, and the documentation is top-tier – clear, detailed, and constantly updated. I’ve used Apify for everything from lead generation to competitive analysis, and it’s never let me down. Seamless API integration, scalable infrastructure, and a generous free tier make it stand out in a crowded market. Highly recommended for anyone serious about automation and scraping at scale! Pros Apify has completely transformed how I approach data extraction and automation. The platform is incredibly powerful, yet beginner-friendly, making it perfect whether you're a developer or a business owner looking to streamline tasks. The variety of ready-made actors (bots) saved me hours of coding, and the ability to build custom solutions means I’m never limited. Cons Have not found any yet, interface is good, data mining is a positive but do with a little more user friendly touches, thats all. Review Source YM Yonatan M. Software development Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reliable product" October 27, 2025 5.0 I am happy with the values provided. It meets every requirement and does what seems hard for other platforms Pros Apify is great for automating data extraction and web workflows. It solves problems related to collecting structured data from websites at scale, which would otherwise require time-consuming manual work or complex scraping setups. It’s useful for market research, lead generation, job aggregation, and any process that depends on continuously updated web data. The platform makes it easy to schedule, manage, and integrate scrapers without maintaining infrastructure. Cons Pricing could be improved. Some of the actors are unreasonable. But the rest is great. Still has features that separate it from others Review Source VR Verified Reviewer TQA Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quite an interesting product with useful features" August 17, 2025 5.0 Quite an interesting product with useful features. I linked its pretty understandable user interface, which I found quite comfortable to learn fairly quickly. I felt that the platform is quite versatile for a few of my automation scenarios, where I needed a cloud-based solution with scheduling available. Quite many actors are available for a variety of tasks. Apify allowed me to build my solution and utilize different resources to meet my requirements for the task I needed to do. Thanks! Pros \- Quite easy to learn - Understandable and friendly user interface - Cloud-based - Scheduling with good options Cons \- Subscription plans in my specific case - Mobile UI is the same as web, which on one side is good, on the other side is a bit difficult to manage from mobile Review Source Udaikaran Singh T. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ridiculously Easy No-Code Scraping with Ready-Made Actors" February 16, 2026 5.0 Overall experience is excellent—8/10. It’s saved me dozens of hours every month by turning painful manual data collection into a few clicks. Reliable, powerful, and keeps getting better with new actors. Once you get the hang of it, you wonder how you ever lived without it. Pros The thing I like best is how ridiculously easy it makes getting the exact data I need. Ready-made actors and the visual builder let me scrape websites, Instagram, or YouTube in minutes without writing code or fighting anti-bot walls. It just works, fast and clean. Cons Occasionally the free tier runs out of compute units quicker than expected when scraping large sites, so I have to upgrade sooner than I’d like for heavier jobs. Also, some very niche or heavily protected sites still require extra proxy tweaking. Review Source IB Ilya B. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform" March 16, 2026 5.0 Fantastic platform, have been using their actors for my business for a while now, they provide great value. The support is always great, responsive and helpful - not that I had many issues. Pros Tons of choice, flexibility, great value for money - very affordable, good customer support. Easy to use manually, easy to integrate too. Cons No strong dislikes, but you may come across some faulty or harder to use actors, which is the developer's problem, not Apify's Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Apify has saved me and my team a ton of time! " April 4, 2026 5.0 Pros Very very easy to use, subscriber in a heartbeat. Most of the apps available you may need to explore a bit, but generally you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for and it will get the job done. Cons Needed to take some time to explore beforehand. Some of the apps might not be the most reliable, but you still got to pay beforehand to trial them with your own credits before knowing. Review Source CC Camilo C. Business Developes Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ock-solid scraping infrastructure for developers" April 28, 2026 4.0 I evaluated building custom scraping infrastructure vs. using Apify, and the math was clear — maintaining proxies, handling browser automation at scale, and dealing with anti-bot measures would cost more in development time than Apify's subscription. The platform pays for itself. Pros Apify has become a core part of my tech stack for building AI-powered automation tools. The platform handles web scraping infrastructure (proxies, browser management, scheduling) so I can focus on building the actual product. The Actor marketplace has pre-built scrapers for virtually every platform I need, and the API makes it easy to integrate into any backend. I run my scraping jobs on their cloud, get clean structured data back, and feed it into my AI pipeline. Simple and effective. Cons The pricing calculator could be more transparent — it took me a bit to understand how compute units translate to actual cost for my specific workload. Also, the free tier is quite limited if you're doing anything beyond small tests. Review Source Mouad B. Founder and Automation Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best way to scrape data without any headache" April 16, 2026 5.0 Great pro tool for complex scraping, does the job when others fail, i really recommend for dev projects. Pros This tool is really good to bypass anti-bots and the store actors save me so much time for my n8n automations. Cons The compute units are a bit expensive and the dashboard is kind of messy when you start using it, but you get used to it fast. Review Source AD Ashitosh D. Founders office Human Resources Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best data enriching platform out there!" August 17, 2025 5.0 We are in a startup of finding jobs for people looking for one. But finding the right set of people is very difficult. There were many CRM giving us the the leads but relevant lead generation is something we can do for ourselves and there is no standard software for every use case possible out there. Apify helped us to get the data of relevant people. I use it mostly as CRMs for enriching our leads and best thing is we set it up using its api endpoints. So it's all automated in n8n. Pros Very easy to integrate with n8n using its api endpoints. It's cheaper because of its pay per result agents. The data extraction is very smooth. It scraps data very well. Cons Too many choices sometimes become overwhelming. There's so many to choose from for a single use case and it's costly to try out everything out there. Alternatives considered [Apollo.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/158696/Apollo/) Reason for choosing Apify Cheaper and easier to integrate into n8n.

AI Engineer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful and versatile automation tool" October 30, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Apify has been very positive. I use it often in my automation projects, and once you get past the initial setup, it becomes a very reliable and flexible tool Pros It has a wide range of powerful features that make automation easier and more efficient, i use scrape websites a lot Cons It can be a bit difficult to set up at first, especially actors and for beginners or the first time even more. Review Source Gabriel O. Content Strategiest Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy-to-use Web scraper" April 28, 2026 5.0 It's been pretty good, I use it almost every day, with LLMs integrations, like Claude Code, and it's my go-to for web scraping Pros It has a easy-to-use UI, that helps me to achieve good quality and fast results from the web scraping, it is specially useful for integration with it's API Cons The costs for the actors runs are not predictable, so some runs may end up costing much more than expected Review Source Adrian C. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scraping tool- the best" April 14, 2026 5.0 very good with scraping social media., scraping real estate ads from portals and facebook so far. I'll recommend it! Pros I'm an independent real estate agent operating in the premium residential segment of a major European capital. Apify sits at the core of my data infrastructure — I use it both as a consumer of Store actors and as a developer building my own custom actors for niche data sources that don't expose official APIs. Cons Whats app group scraping, not to get banned. Because the are lots of groups and it's only one actor available Review Source Logan T. CEO Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Scraping made easy" February 23, 2026 5.0 10/10, and i look forward to using it everyday. There is nothing easier than using apify to scrape and score leads.. Pros best scraping product in existence. we have used almost every product before apify and it was never easy to scrape public data, until now. Cons that i can't seem to combine all of my scraped pdfs into one spreadsheet in perpetuity. I however could be missing something. Review Source Ann B. Founder Developer Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Less tech stress, more shipping" October 26, 2025 5.0 I use Apify weekly for SEO ops, research, and change monitoring. Templates cover most of the heavy lifting, the API makes integration painless, and scaling is drama-free. Net result: fewer manual tasks, cleaner data, faster delivery. Pros Actors + scheduling + storage that "just work", so I go from idea to running automation in minutes. Scales without server babysitting. Cons Edge cases (anti-bot, flaky selectors) need tweaking, and careless runs can burn credits - set limits/alerts. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great for scrapping data from social media " March 24, 2026 5.0 Pros Apify has been one of the most convenient options I’ve used for scraping social media data, especially when working across multiple platforms. I particularly liked using it for Twitter and Instagram because I could get structured, ready-to-use data without wrestling with rate limits or the stricter rules of the official APIs. For my use case, it felt much easier and faster than relying on the official data access provided by Twitter and Instagram, while still giving me the flexibility I needed for automation and analysis Cons The only thing I liked least was the slightly cluttered UI/UX, which sometimes makes navigation feel less intuitive Review Source RL Ritzaye L. AI Consultant and Co Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the best on the market." November 17, 2025 5.0 Our experience with Apify has been truly excellent, and I would say it's one of the many tools available that allows you to achieve great results without much hassle, despite the significant amount of work it saves. It saves not only time but also money. Pros It's so easy to implement and so useful for scraping. I should also add that its integrations are well thought out. You can tell they've gone to great lengths to make things easier. Cons I have nothing to add at the moment. Everything has been quite simple to implement, and we've also had a great user experience. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior soft dev Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "APIFY - good tool to have in our team" August 2, 2025 5.0 Overall, Apify has helped us scale operations, save time, and gain valuable insights that were otherwise difficult or impossible to collect manually. Pros Our use case primarily revolves around B2B prospecting — collecting contact info, service details, and social insights from multiple directories and niche sites. The flexibility of Apify Actors and ready-made scrapers significantly shortens development time and lets non-engineers execute complex tasks with ease. Cons The Actor Store has many useful scrapers, but search and filtering can be improved. It’s hard to quickly find reliable, well-maintained Actors unless you already know what you’re looking for. Ratings, last update info, or verified developer tags would help a lot. Review Source DL Dominik L. Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Freelancer" November 7, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been highly positive, as Apify successfully transitioned our data collection from brittle, manual scripts to a reliable, enterprise-ready, automated pipeline. Pros The most valuable aspect is the extensive Actor Marketplace combined with the robust cloud infrastructure, which allows for instant deployment of complex, scalable scrapers without managing proxies or servers. Cons The primary drawback is the steep learning curve for non-developers and the credit-based pricing model, which can be confusing and lead to unexpected costs when scaling.

Président Farming Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simplicité & efficacité" March 5, 2026 5.0 Il ne m'a fallu qu'une journée pour comprendre les bénéfices, faire les premiers tests, implémenter la solution via API et utiliser les resultats dans mon application flutterflow. Je suis ravi ! Pros Simplicité de la solution et efficacité de l'application. J'avais envisagé d'autres solutions, plus complexes et la découverte de Apify facebook scrapper m'a permis de gagner du temps, réduire la complexité/ Cons Pas de transition en Français, et si le chatbot est vraiment performant, il manque des tutoriels notamment pour la navigation dans l'interface.
