Powerful Automation for Job Hunting Despite Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
Apify's 3,000+ pre-built Actors and automatic infrastructure management eliminated 90% of my scraping costs while scaling from 2M to 5M pages daily with zero server maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The credit-based pricing is confusing and caused unexpected overcharges; debugging cloud failures is difficult without technical skills, and pre-built Actors can become unreliable over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated job board monitoring that previously took 5-10 hours weekly, delivering 50,000 relevant postings to Google Sheets for $60. It is 10x cheaper than manual research. Increased data success rates from 80% to 98% while cutting processing time by 93%.
Flawless Performance and Reliability with Apify
What do you like best about the product?
The effectiveness and ease of use of Apify are absolutely unparalleled in the market. It has fundamentally streamlined our data extraction and automation processes, saving countless hours. The intuitive interface means our team can deploy complex web scraping tasks effortlessly, making it the most productive and reliable tool we have ever adopted. The community and support are fantastic as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, it is difficult to name a 'least liked' aspect of Apify, as my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Perhaps an even wider variety of ready-to-use 'Actors' could be a small suggestion, though the current library is already extensive. The platform performs its core functions—reliability, speed, and ease of setup—flawlessly. I have no significant complaints about its features or performance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My overall experience with Apify has been truly exceptional and transformational for our business operations. It's a robust, reliable, and incredibly powerful platform that manages complex tasks with remarkable simplicity. From the stellar documentation to the high performance of the Actors, Apify delivers consistent value. It’s an essential, indispensable tool that I highly recommend to anyone serious about web automation and data sourcing.

Effortless Automation and Top-Notch Scraping with Apify
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like about Apify is it can be easily integrated into my automation workflows. I totally like everything regarding the scraping because personally going and scraping everything takes too much time and their scrapers are good to go for getting everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that is coming in my mind. Probably I would say for $40 or their starter plan has $40. They provide $40 in credit. If that could be increased to $50 or something like that, it would be amazing. But yeah absolutely their product is recommended
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify solved my biggest problem of lead scraping. For that earlier I used to go on expensive sites like Apollo which was too expensive for getting the same amount of lead that Apify is able to give in a fraction of the cost. Also I don't have to verify those leads so I totally like this platform.
Ease of Use and Affordability Makes Apify Stand Out
What do you like best about the product?
I find Apify incredibly useful for managing TikTok data, particularly for obtaining video performance data for our creators. I really appreciate its ease of use, which simplifies complex tasks and enhances our productivity. Additionally, I value Apify's affordability, which makes it accessible and cost-effective for our needs. The API offered by Apify stands out for me with its user-friendly design and high degree of customizability, which allows me to tailor it to our specific requirements. Overall, the setup process for Apify was remarkably straightforward and hassle-free, which further enhances my experience using this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
scale pricing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify to get video performance data for our creators on TikTok. It offers ease of use, affordability, and an adaptable API, which streamline our data collection process.
Unified solution for automation discovery and monetization
What do you like best about the product?
Apify has given me a single platform where I can both discover AI and automation tools, like web scrapers and crawlers, through its marketplace, and also create and monetize my own tools for the developer community. The customer service and support system are excellent, allowing me to quickly identify and resolve any issues with the tools I manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently there are still certain restrictions on the platform with regards to testing and evaluating AI automation tools based on their intended use case and target customers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify has been useful for me to integrate into my core automation pipeline by giving me access to a wide array of tools. It has enabled me to supercharge my development timeline so I have more time doing high impact work and less time building

Saving Big Money on Marketing Research Using Apify Myself
What do you like best about the product?
Apify is invaluable for my personal marketing research. I primarily use it to scrape competitor pricing, product features, and to look at customer reviews from various e-commerce and social media sites. This has allowed me to gain real-time market intelligence without having to do it manually. I use it to determine where my competition is and what customer's are saying about other products as well as my own. I got an immediate response from the their customer support team on the same day of use and got my question resolved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall I'm super impressed with Apify's offerings, but they don't get a 10 in the search area because sometimes I have to do some real digging around to find the Actor I really need. Maybe this could be resolved by adding an advanced search feature. I find that I get a variety of actors for other platforms when searching for example "YouTube" may return Actors for "Facebook".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The variety of use cases and flexible pricing models is the main reason why I chose Apify for my data needs. I appreciate the flexibility to choose either to rent a specific Agent "per month" for consistent needs, or opt for a "per use" model when I only need a quick data pull. Furthermore, the availability of some genuinely good "free" options is perfect for users like me who might only need a small data sample without committing to a full Actor subscription. The competition between developers also keeps better options available for everyone. For example, I selected an Actor that handles posts, comments, and upvotes simultaneously as opposed to one that only returns posts and comments for the same rental fee.
From a purely financial perspective, the cost savings are substantial. I estimate that by utilizing Apify for the deep analysis I now conduct in-house, I am easily saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars that would otherwise be spent outsourcing that type of data collection and initial analysis to another company. I can simply say I would have to hire out to get the kind of analysis that I have obtained through Apify. So literally I have saved from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
I can "set it and forget it" pulling data offline or on a schedule then get back to it when I can. This too has saved me HOURS of time because running a business I have other things to do.
Finally, a major win for me is the wide platform coverage it offers. It's not just a few niche sites, Apify provides robust Agents for all the major platforms. I've used it for YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram.
