    I've tried many web scrapers but apify provides the lowest barrier to entry to even seeing if there's proof of concept of an idea. many scrapers make promises based on things that don't work or maybe worked once upon a time, but don't work anymore. Apify lets you see what is …

    Apify saves a lot of money compared to buying a subscription to another lead scraping software. It also integrates with automation software, so few data cleaning and lead enrichment steps are required. This saves a lot of time, as run times can be costly after a lot of use.

    Apify stands out because it offers greater flexibility, transparency, and control. Unlike RapidAPI, which mainly connects to third-party APIs, Apify lets me build custom web scrapers and automation tools tailored to my needs. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife for data …

    APIFY is easy to use in automation created on make or Zapier. It also has API features so you can connect it directly to any service you want. I mostly use Make for most of my scrapping project or lead generation project and it goes pretty smooth from start to end.

    so these other services are great for automation, but they're more like processors. Apify is more about getting you the data that you'd feed INTO these processes, so they're more complementary than competing. I don't think there's anything quite like Apify, especially not at …

    Apify is great for web scraping, web crawling, and data extraction. I'm sure it's great for other things I don't use it for, but that's what I can confirm. I use it for pulling weekly analytics of 50+ TikTok UGC creators that I hire for brands. If you want a nice UX platform to share with clients, you would need to vibe code it and feed it the Apify data or use a more costly program.

    Pros
    Apify
    • comprehensive array of actors. whatever you need, there's an actor for it. I don't have to go on multiple websites with different logins - everything is all in one place.
    • Integrations with make.com and other no-code platforms.
    • Super easy-to-use api endpoints, have not had many issues at all.

    Cons
    Apify
    • sometimes the devs are working on one of the scrapers when it breaks and you don't really get a notice for that, it just doesn't work. Esp starts to be a problem when it's supposed to be running in the background.
    • Loading cookies into the different actors is kind of a pain.
    • vague pricing models. all the actors are priced differently, and the difference between "usage" "result" and "event" is pretty confusing

    Likelihood to Renew
    Apify
    It's the best because you can just load in a limited amount of money and limit your financial exposure to using a tool like this. so renewing isn't a big consideration... i know that i'm going to need the tool in the future and i'll load it with money accordingly when im ready.

    Usability
    Apify
    The site is laid out pretty well. There is a learning curve, but it is not steep. Integrations are fairly straightforward using the API and JSON files. Integrates well with Make automations, which is essential for our team and organization. I am pleased with the performance and flexibility of the platform.

    Apify
    The reason we prefer Apify to other alternatives is that it has more functionality and APIs that serve different purposes. In addition, thanks to its libraries prepared for easy integration into many programming languages, it becomes very easy to integrate into every project in different languages. In this way, it deserves to be ahead of its competitors.

    Return on Investment
    Apify
    • No need to search for high-quality web-scrapers
    • Its more costly than finding free solutions, but the advanced product of Apify will make up for that
    • No need to worry about multiple different implementations for different products. You only have to care about the Apify implementation which saves you a lot of time
