Apify vs. APISCRAPY

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.

• 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.

• 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

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.

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.

I was very happy with the support I received from Apify. They are always ready to answer all your questions and help solve problems you have.

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.

• 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
