I'm a solo full-stack developer and I've used Apify for over a year to scrape Twitter/X accounts and posts, find leads on LinkedIn, and run my own Actor that scrapes Y Combinator jobs and companies. What I like most is that I can give one Apify API key to my coding agent (Claude Code) and it finds the right Actors in the Store and runs them for me. There's an Actor for almost anything, so I rarely build a scraper from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pricing can get hefty, depending on which Actors you use. Most Actors are published by other people who set their own prices. For me, LinkedIn and Apollo scraping for lead generation, email validation and contact enrichment are usually the biggest costs. I understand that's not really Apify's fault, since they don't control what publishers charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
