"Dependable scrapers that save us months of development time"

5/5

What do you like best about Apify?

The ready-made actors just work. We use Google Maps, Google Search, website content, Facebook Ad Library, Google Ads and X/Twitter scrapers in our own products, and they return clean, structured data without us having to manage proxies or rebuild scrapers when sites change. The API is simple to call from our backend, and setting a spending limit on every run keeps our costs predictable. It has saved us months of development and maintenance work.

What do you dislike about Apify?

Pricing differs quite a lot between actors (pay-per-event, per result, compute units), so estimating the monthly cost takes some effort at first. Some pay-per-event actors also have a minimum charge limit, and if you set your run budget below it the API rejects the run with a 400 error. This wasn't obvious until we checked each actor's pricing details. The free plan is quite limited for some popular actors, so serious use really needs a paid plan. None of these are deal-breakers, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apify solving and how is that benefiting you?

We run an AI-powered ad-automation platform for small businesses. Apify powers several core features: discovering local businesses on Google Maps, reading customers' websites so our AI can understand their products, and researching competitors' ads on the Facebook Ad Library and Google Ads. We also use it to collect trending content from X for our own social media work. Building and maintaining all those scrapers ourselves would have taken months and constant upkeep. With Apify we integrated them in days, our costs stay small and predictable, and our team can focus on the actual product instead of fighting blocked requests and broken scrapers.
