Operations Specialist E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review from CL" August 30, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy integration, strong solutions that save a lot of time, very good community space with consistent and quality content. Cons We do not have access to any of the code of public actors made by the community. It's not bad but it would be cool. Review Source CT Conrad T. Chef de projet Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Apify : Un outil indispensable pour la collecte de données" May 26, 2025 5.0 Mon expérience est positive. Apify a radicalement simplifié et automatisé la collecte de données web Pros Ce que j'ai le plus apprécié chez Apify, c'est sa capacité à transformer radicalement notre accès aux données web, sa fiabilité et la scalabilité de l'automatisation de la collecte de données. Nous n'avons plus à nous soucier des défis techniques du web scraping. Cons Le débogage peut s'avérer technique pour les non développeurs. En tant que non-développeur, cela signifie que je dois souvent solliciter l'aide de profils plus techniques, ce qui peut freiner un peu notre agilité. Une simplification de ces processus pour les utilisateurs moins expérimentés serait un grand plus. Review Source Jonathan Enrique N. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome Scraping Software" August 4, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with apathy has been excellent. I've been able to scrape leads not only in large numbers but in a cost-effective manner too. I recommend this software to anyone who's thinking about using it. Pros I like the Number of Agents That you are available to choose from. Also if you know how to for the right agent you can save money by scraping data the right way. It is un expendable automation tool that I use weekly for my business. Cons One thing that I don't like about Apify is the UI interface because it seems a little crowded, effective bur crowded. Review Source Ashutosh Kumar T. Student Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Apify developing experience" February 7, 2026 4.0 I am very happy with the experience with Apify and would like to build more in the future and automate my projects using Apify Pros I built an Actor which helped me to automate medication pipeline in my project. It also helped me earn by making my Actor public. I can also use different Actors made by different developers accross their page. I have learned a lot about scheduling work and automating results across different projects. Cons Documentation is a bit tricky for me, sometimes I find it difficult to understand a particular part or something, then I have to go through all over the website Review Source PV Petar V. Business development Broadcast Media Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Very convenient tool for automation" March 23, 2026 5.0 I’m very satisfied — the platform is stable, fast, and helps me automate tasks that used to take hours. Pros Apify has saved me a huge amount of time. The interface is intuitive, and the ready‑made actors cover almost everything I need. I like that I can set up workflows without writing complex code. Cons Sometimes the documentation feels a bit scattered, so it takes a moment to find the exact example I need. Also you need to read a lot in order to chose the correct tool that most probably will help you. Review Source Jonathan C. Director Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Empowering non-coders to build complex scrapers" June 24, 2025 5.0 As a non-technical founder, I was amazed that I could create multiple advanced scraping agents using Apify with the help of AI tools. It’s versatile, well-documented, and has a vibrant support community. I’ve been able to automate a lot of previously manual research work with it. Once you get the hang of the platform, it becomes an incredibly powerful tool—even if you’re not a developer. It’s now an integral part of my workflow. Pros Apify makes it possible for non-technical users like myself to build advanced web scrapers with minimal friction. Its modular Actors and ready-made templates are incredibly helpful. The developer community is active and responsive, which makes troubleshooting much easier. Cons The learning curve at the beginning can feel steep if you’re entirely unfamiliar with web scraping concepts. Some of the UI for managing large workflows or datasets could be more intuitive. Pricing can ramp up quickly if you're running high-volume or frequent scrapers. Review Source ME Mohammad E. Doctor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Apify is great " October 30, 2025 5.0 Amazing - I think overall it makes my business runs a lot smoother and faster, I think it is a very effective tool Pros The sleek design and how practical it is - I feel like I can get everything I need from it without needing any extra help Cons I would like the pricing to be a bit life transparent and consistent across all the different scrapers Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I love apify!" June 10, 2025 5.0 Pros I absolutely love apify! As a beginner who is using apify to build automations, I can say that it works super smoothly and I've not experienced any issues. Cons at first it could be overwhelming when you see all the different pages. But once you run a few actors, you start to get used to it. Review Source VRÇ Veysel Reşit Ç. Computer Science Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Apify review" October 13, 2025 5.0 Apify is an absolute game-changer for web scraping and automation. The platform is incredibly powerful, reliable, and surprisingly easy to use, even for complex tasks. It has drastically cut down development time and provided scalable data solutions—highly recommend! Pros \- Massive Reduction in Technical Debt and Development Time - Direct Revenue Impact via Scalable Lead Generation Cons Steep Learning Curve for Customization Pricing and Billing Transparency Debugging and Scraper Maintenance Review Source WK Wiktor K. Python Developer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recomend Using Python for Apify and search for what you need" July 23, 2025 5.0 Excellent, I used it and i got what i wanted. Especially, the fact that it allowed me to find LinkedIN scrapper with no coookies for just public information scrapping Pros As Python developer i liked seamless library integration which allowed me to use the code that somebody wrote Cons Maybe too much of solutions that i am not sure if they work but mostly I liked everything. Very useful dashboard fo easy billing Review Source RS Raphael S. Business Solution Specialist Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great and Easy" November 14, 2025 5.0 Great overall experience... I really like to use Apify for custom crawlers which I use to make very usefull automations. Pros Great user interface and value for money. Apify is easy to use and has great templates and documentation. Cons The AI Chatbot is usefull but sometimes gets stuck in a "cant help you" loop, which forces you to reinitiate the conversation. Review Source RW Raey W. Founder Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "For all the data scraping needs go to Apify" December 10, 2025 5.0 to be honest its great I use it to generate leads scrape them and so much more great customer support to be honest I first had a problem with the user interaction but you cant ride a bike on the 1st round and it helps that they have good documentation to guide you. I usually use APIs which is perfect for automation. Pros Alot of variations of Actors( freelance tools ) you can use. Also you can control the pricing to ( pay per event result call etc ) Cons To be honest I dont have anything I would complain about it they have a good everything so maybe their refund policy even that is not a huge problem Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Director Consumer Electronics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easier way to get data" March 25, 2026 5.0 I would say the overall experience is ok, easy to use, to integrate and I can see the team being active on social media, engaging with developers Pros Easier approach to scrape data, either directly from the console or integrated into a workflow like n8n, or directly with Claude Code Cons Even though there is quite a big number of actors available, some are doing the same and part of them have some high pricing. I can see the shift from creating useful tools to "create passive income" being the new trend Review Source Aiden H. Founder Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "9.9/10 love this!" June 28, 2025 5.0 Really really good - I love not having to use chatgpt to write webscraping code anymore. I can just search apify for a scraper that does the job and it usually costs like a few cents. Pros consolidating all the webscraping tech under one platform. I love being able to test out new actors without committing to pay a monthly subscription for each one - and then being able to pay / usage on the ones I like. Cons Sometimes the payment plans for individual actors can be a bit confusing. There are a bunch of similar payment types and I'm still a bit confused honestly. Review Source Aadhithya S. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best tool to automate" March 24, 2026 5.0 Pros The ease at which I can make and deploy automation agents and web scrapers which was not possible or very complicated with traditional approach. Cons There are a lot of actors which are of less quality so it will be good if Apify team checks them and vets them based on more quality standards to remove non working or not useful actors from marketplace. Review Source YJ YASSER J. founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "honestly good " November 2, 2025 5.0 Apify is really good at collecting and automating data from almost any website — even the complex ones that load with JavaScript. I’ve used it to gather market insights, track competitors, and build lead lists automatically. What I like most is the pre-built tools (actors) that save a ton of time, plus the fact that it connects easily with Google Sheets or CRMs. It’s reliable, flexible, and perfect for turning messy online data into something useful and structured. Pros Apify literally changed how I do market research. I used to rely on manual searches and random tools that half-worked, but now I get structured, updated data automatically. The support team is great too — quick and helpful whenever I hit a snag. Highly recommend it to anyone running an agency, doing lead gen, or even managing ecom research Cons So far, I honestly haven’t found anything negative about Apify. Everything has worked smoothly — the automations run reliably, the data is clean, and the platform performs exactly as expected. I’ve been using it regularly for market research and lead generation, and up to now, I really don’t have any complaints. Review Source eA ever A. Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful and easy-to-use automation tool" September 4, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Apify has been very positive. It’s a reliable platform that makes web scraping and automation much more accessible, even for people without advanced coding skills. While there are occasional issues with certain actors, the flexibility and value it provides far outweigh the drawbacks. Pros I really like how easy it is to get started with Apify. The platform has a clean interface, solid automation features, and a wide variety of actors that make data extraction and workflows much simpler. It saves me a lot of time compared to building scrapers from scratch. Cons Some actors are not well-maintained or reviewed, which means they don’t always work as expected. It can be frustrating when you rely on an actor and it fails due to lack of updates or proper testing.

Really versatile. Review Source TL Toivo L. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall a great experience" September 3, 2025 4.0 Overall experience has been great. I can easily integrate actors with our stack and have never had problems with integration Pros I like the variety of actors available on the platform. They allow me to scrape leads and enrich them. Cons Payment system is sometimes a negative. In our organization the ability to not "pay as you go" sometimes slows us down Review Source David P. Ai consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fast data extraction that works with LLMs" March 27, 2026 5.0 We needed structured data from websites for client projects but building custom scrapers took too much time. Now we use Apify to pull data from websites, YouTube, and Spotify in minutes instead of days. The clean JSON output connects directly to LLMs for analysis and automation. We've cut data collection time by hours per project and can deliver enriched datasets to clients faster. Pros The API is clean and the JSON output is predictable. I connect it to LLMs in minutes without fighting parsers. Pre-built actors for websites, YouTube, and Spotify save hours compared to building scrapers from scratch. Cons The dashboard UX feels clunky. Finding actors, managing runs, and navigating the platform isn't smooth. Deep linking hasn't worked well when I tried it. The core functionality is solid even if the interface needs polish. Review Source Amit B. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Apify for dummies " July 25, 2025 5.0 Love it. Great super easy, connecting it to Make.com gives great and solid results, great actors. I recommend. Pros Easy to use, get you what you need and want. I'm not a technical person, and manage almost every time to get what I need. Cons Nothing so far, maybe once some actor just kept working and finished my budget, but apart from that, nothing. Review Source ER Emiljano R. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Apify has turned into a vital part of my marketing automation system" November 2, 2025 5.0 Very pleasant experience. I use it for my company's internal automation needs, as well as to monetize actors by publishing them on the store. Pros Very smooth experience. Stable platform and reliable infrastructure. The documentation is very clear, and I appreciate not having to worry about servers, scaling and proxies myself Cons Nothing I did not like. Overall very please with what I've seen so far, I've been a user for a bit more than 3 months. Review Source KG Kaushik G. Co Founder Information Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful Web Scraping and Automation with Smart AI Features" September 23, 2025 5.0 Apify has significantly improved efficiency in web scraping and automation tasks. Its AI features for data extraction, processing, and monitoring make it a robust tool for both business and personal projects. While there’s a learning curve for complex workflows, the platform’s flexibility and automation capabilities outweigh the drawbacks. Pros Powerful automation with AI-assisted scraping Handles complex, dynamic websites Easy-to-use interface and Actor marketplace Reliable for lead generation and monitoring Cons Some advanced workflows require coding knowledge Pricing can add up for high-volume or enterprise-scale tasks Review Source SA Saimun A. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Apify is awesome" March 8, 2026 5.0 It's fantastic. Using it is so easy. The interface is easy to understand. I love the little descriptions apify provides for all of there fields for the bots. Pros I love the various features but most importantly I love the Google maps scraper a lot. It helps me get leads for my business. Cons I don't have any dislikes about Apify. Its a great platform and helps me accomplish what I need to in a efficient manner. Review Source MM Matheus M. Head of Sales Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fits well into SOPs for sales, invaluable tool" May 22, 2025 5.0 Overall, we've had only positives. Most crawlers in Apify can do as good as a scraper developed internally for our own use. We have an API that we typically built for these things, but Apify's scrapers can do most the tasks that it does. Pros Integrations, wide range of scrapers, compatibility, and easiness to use. It's an integral part of our business development and sales SOPs. Cons Some scrapers can be a little bit out of date. Some others despite working for the most simple use cases can't handle errors or failed runs very well which will require the user to have some technical expertise to deal with it on the spot.
