I use Apify to automate my prospecting, choosing relevant, fast, and easily comparable actors, with a wide affordable choice.

What do you like best about the product?

Simple and safe to use. It feels safe because you don’t connect directly to the tools you want to scrape data from, so you reduce the risk of those tools blocking your account. It’s also simple since you only need to provide an Apify token to Claude AI.

Although the price is cheap, the billing lacks the details that would make the costs more predictable.

I’m searching for jobs for my girlfriend.

When some of the information comes back incorrect, there should be a mechanism in place where you get your money refunded, and you don't have to actually pay for that research.

Apify helps me generate leads cost-effectively versus using ads, and allows me to qualify leads without wasting money.

Apify solves the problem of accessing useful travel data without relying on expensive APIs or APIs that require approval based on website traffic or business history.

I like being able to use the actors and established scripts on the website without a lot of tedious parameter setup. I can connect the actor, reuse my pre-established parameters via API and MCP, and then I’m off to the races running batch jobs.

What do you dislike about the product?

It can occasionally be hit or miss with certain actors, especially those with lower token utilization. That lower token utilization also suggests they haven’t been fully vetted, per se, which likely explains the lower token cost.

What do you like best about the product?

The Google Maps / Business Profile Actor is the one I use most. I run a web design and marketing agency, and I pull GBP data (reviews, ratings, categories, photos, missing info) to build audit reports for local businesses. It gives me structured data in minutes that would take hours to collect by hand.

What do you dislike about the product?

The platform isn't very beginner-friendly. The Store is powerful but overwhelming if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. Simple visual entry points, like icons for Websites, Instagram and Facebook that expand into the relevant Actors, would help a lot.

Fast, repeatable GBP audits that I use as a sales tool to show prospects what's missing on their listing.
