Cons The UI gets cluttered when you manage many actors, and deeper analytics or version control still require external tools. Review Source JR Jared R. Lead Automation Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy fast flexible data scraping." May 7, 2025 5.0 Overall positive. It makes data collection much easier and faster than creating one from scratch. Pros Easy to test the applicability and usability of the data & integrate it with other applications. Cons Some desired scrapers weren't available, some scrapers require monthly subscription Review Source AR Anton R.

Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful Web Scraping Tool with Great Features but Pricing Concerns" March 26, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy to Use – User-friendly interface with pre-built actors for common scraping tasks. Scalability – Can handle small to large-scale crawling projects efficiently. Customizable – Supports JavaScript, Python, and Puppeteer for advanced scraping needs. Cloud-Based – No need to set up local servers; everything runs in the cloud. Cons Pricing Can Get Expensive – While there’s a free tier, costs can rise quickly for large-scale scraping projects due to resource usage and proxy fees. Review Source HCK Hans Christian K. Consultant Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform for social media" June 13, 2025 5.0 Easy to use, gets results done fast. Great options for exporting data. Easy to manage usage levels on an individual and organization level. Pros They keep up to date with APIs of the large social networks. I can build the scraper myself, but the constant changing API is hard to keep up with. Cons To many actors are rent only. I often only need them for a couple of days - longer then a trial but short then a month. Review Source PB Paul B. Data Analyst Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Best Platform for Scalable Data Extraction" April 7, 2025 5.0 The best tool to perform information extraction, also has API connection which makes it viable for implementation in a back end project. Pros Apify is the best tool for performing information extraction at scale. It also provides robust API connections, which makes it highly viable for integration into backend projects. The flexibility to automate workflows and retrieve structured data easily is a major advantage. Cons Some features have a learning curve, especially when building more complex actors. Additionally, occasional updates to the platform or SDKs can cause minor disruptions if documentation isn't updated at the same pace. However, these are relatively small issues compared to the overall value the platform provides. Review Source KC Kali C. Founder Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awesome Product" September 6, 2025 5.0 Great! They provide a few free credits each month, which makes testing a breeze and feel fair. I'm not nickel-and-dimed, which is a great feeling! Pros Easy to use and integrate! I am able to incorporate it into my automations and workflows seamlessly and easily. Cons Difficult to stop runs that are being systematically input. For example, using an API to drip-feed inputs and nowhere to easily cancel them. Review Source HS Hugues-Pacôme S. CTO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Versatile scraping tool." May 13, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Apify has been very positive. It’s a reliable and flexible platform that significantly speeds up data extraction tasks, whether for quick proofs of concept or more robust, recurring workflows. I appreciate how user-friendly the platform is, especially for non-technical users who can leverage ready-made actors, while still offering the flexibility to build custom scripts when needed. The scalability is seamless—from testing small datasets to handling larger volumes as projects grow. Support and documentation are also solid, making it easy to troubleshoot or optimize workflows. Overall, Apify has become a key part of our data operations, helping us save time, reduce costs, and focus more on data analysis rather than data collection. Pros Apify helps us overcome bottlenecks typically associated with manual data extraction or the internal development of scrapers, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. By leveraging Apify’s ready-made actors or building custom ones, we can quickly extract large volumes of data, enrich it, and feed it into our internal dashboards or CRM systems for analysis. Cons Probably pricing but still ok and also would be nice to have a cost calculator, it can be quite annoying to predict cost. Review Source MR Matias R. Commercial Director Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Scrape tool" April 18, 2025 5.0 Pros Very easy to use. Cheaper than others. A lot of pre build apps to scrape most of sites Cons Could had an easy way to create your own recieps. You can't modify a created scraper. Review Source TA Toni A. ceo Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buena aplicación para extraer datos" September 28, 2025 5.0 Muy buena volveré a utilizarlo y recomiendo su uso para quien tenga necesidades que puedan ser resueltas por apify Pros Me gusta que solucione mis problemas de extración de datos fácilmente y de forma rápida sin complicaciones Cons No sabria decir nada hasta ahora está respondiendo bien par alo que necesito todo está funcionando bien Review Source SB Samuel B. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Intuitive, fast and overall very solid API marketplace." July 8, 2025 4.0 I had never touched code before. I needed to build something fast to fix an internal problem with scraping data inside of our company. We used to do it by hand (downloading Instagram reels, transcribing them, sending them to GPT). But after I discovered Apify I found APIs inside to cover most of the uses I needed. It was truly useful and I would've taken ages to string together APIs from different sources so it also saved a lot of my time. Pros Intuitiveness, speed and overall very good experience. Even without being a Software Developer I was able to figure out everything in minutes. Cons Pricing being fixed at a pretty high subscription. But overall worth it anyway, I'd just like a cheaper option for "casual" users like myself. Review Source TNB Tassilo Nils B. Founder Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to scrape all sort of data" September 4, 2025 5.0 Great and easy to use, many actors available and I would recommend to anyone who wants to scrape data. Pros Makes it super easy to get well structured data from sources from any kind of platform. I mostly use it for LinkedIn and Youtube. Cons Could have more actors and the payment structure should allow for pay-as-you-go in order to top-up only when needed. I don't need a subscription. Review Source WC Will C. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "N8N + Apify = Deadly Combo" August 28, 2025 5.0 Apify, overall, has enhanced my business operations and acted as a useful tool to integrate into n8n workflow. Pros Ease of use. I think that their site is intuitive and easy to integrate with external automation tools Cons I think the monthly pricing is understandable, but would like to see purely a price-per-performance usage model with their existing credit system Review Source YK Yer K.

Review Source AT Aleop T. Designer Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Really useful tool for automations" July 3, 2025 5.0 Awesome is a tool that I will continue to use. Probably I will need to upgrade to the 40 USD tier on the next months. Pros Really useful tool. I use it for my workflows in N8N, mostly for scraping maps and YouTube. Their free tier is really useful Cons The only thing i don't like is that the pay tier is too high, there will be great to have a middle tier around 20 or a pay per use credit. Review Source MD Michael D. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "CEO Experience with Apify" May 28, 2025 5.0 Apify has been a reliable, scalable solution that significantly improves our data workflows, despite some areas needing clearer documentation and pricing clarity. Pros What I like most is the ease of automating complex web scraping tasks combined with the flexibility of reusable actors that save time and effort. Cons The biggest flaw is the need for clearer documentation, which would greatly reduce time spent troubleshooting and improve user experience. Review Source RA Rubén A.

Review Source DN Daniel N. Ceo Translation and Localization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good, better than comp" August 26, 2025 4.0 Good, sometime a headache to find the working api you need but the free trials are life savers. It’s expensive but high quality. Pros Easy to use, it’s plug and play doesn’t take much work to get the ball rolling. Expensive plan but makes sense Cons Failing. I use for specifically YouTube scraping and it gets very pricey and fails often. Of course not apify fault but it charges for dead links etc. Review Source MH Mohamed H. Python Developer Utilities Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Apify scrapers" February 25, 2025 5.0 Overall I highly recommend developers to invest in trying Apify & building Actors. And encourage clients to use them, Actors are very reliable, affordable prices & receive support from the developers directly. Pros Clear usage terms, straightforward details about usage & paying, Simple yet reliable & attractive web UI Cons Some docs about how to use & how to integrate were quite complicated & had me to try many things before getting things work.

Co Founder Management Consulting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good actors to start your first web scraper " June 3, 2025 5.0 some actors came along with youtube video to teach me how to use. quite good for this. but spend quite some times to understand how it works. Pros a lot of different actors and template to choose based on the situation I want to use. such as google and instagram Cons a lot of buzzwords for new people like me. Need a learning curve to understand and to try and error to learn how to use each actor.
