The Gold Standard for Building High-Performance AI Data Engines
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer versatility of the platform is unmatched. I was able to build a sophisticated "Intelligence Engine" using Playwright and PDF parsing while staying within a 1GB RAM footprint. The "Bring Your Own Key" (BYOK) AI flexibility is a huge advantage, allowing me to build scalable tools without worrying about vendor lock-in or high compute costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for the metadata and input schemas is quite steep. The platform is very strict about naming conventions (like dataset names needing specific hyphenation) and mandatory description fields. While it ensures high-quality tools in the Store, it can be a bit frustrating for new developers during the first few builds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify solves the problem of manual data interpretation. I use it to automate the interpretation of dense, high-stakes data—like regulatory portals and PDF filings—that usually requires hours of manual reading. It allows me to transform raw text into structured business intelligence. This benefits me by cutting research time by 90% and ensuring institutional-level accuracy through a fully automated, grounded intelligence pipeline that is ready for enterprise use.
Reliable LinkedIn Data Scraping That Just Works
What do you like best about the product?
I needed a reliable way to grab LinkedIn data for sales prospecting and monitoring job listings. Apify's pre-built actors made setup surprisingly painless, just plug in your parameters and go. The pricing model works well for my use case since I only pay for what I actually use. Most importantly, it just works. I've had consistent results without babysitting the runs.
What do you dislike about the product?
No big feedback at all for disliking. Everything was pretty straight forward to setup after reading the readme's, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped me efficiently grab data from LinkedIn that you can't easily get elsewhere.

What do you like best about the product?
The free plan gives a lot, easy to use for non professionals, integration with make.com
What do you dislike about the product?
Some options could be explained more clearly for those who are not professionals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flexible, Reliable, and Production-Ready Web Scraping Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Apify stands out for its flexibility and reliability when working with web scraping and automation tasks. The biggest advantage is the combination of ready-made actors and the ability to create fully custom solutions when needed. This allows you to start quickly and then scale or customize without changing platforms.
I also really like how easy it is to integrate Apify with other tools using APIs and webhooks. Scheduling, monitoring runs, and working with structured datasets saves a lot of time and removes the need to maintain custom infrastructure. Overall, it feels like a mature, production-ready platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is the learning curve at the beginning. New users may need some time to understand core concepts like actors, datasets, and usage-based pricing. The interface is powerful but can feel a bit overwhelming at first due to the number of available features.
That said, once you get familiar with the platform and documentation, these issues become much less noticeable and do not block everyday use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify helps automate data extraction and monitoring tasks that would otherwise require a lot of manual work or custom infrastructure. It allows collecting structured data on a regular schedule and integrating it directly into other systems or workflows.
As a result, it saves time, reduces operational overhead, and makes data more accessible for further processing and analysis. This has improved efficiency and allowed faster decision-making without increasing development or maintenance costs

Excellent Data Scraping Platform with Great Value
What do you like best about the product?
This is an excellent platform for data scraping, catering to everyone from beginners to experienced users. The pricing is very reasonable considering the quality and amount of information you receive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would appreciate having more specialized scrapers tailored to specific websites, though I realize this depends on developer involvement. It would be great to see more developers join the platform. Additionally, I find the pricing structures somewhat confusing at times, which can result in unexpected charges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool quickly pulls Google search results for multiple queries within seconds, making it easy to find valuable leads for both B2B and B2C email and social media marketing.
Best scrapping tool
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Apify is the extensive library of pre-built Actors. It completely removes the barrier to entry for complex web scraping. Instead of coding from scratch, I can deploy a reliable solution in minutes. This ecosystem, combined with their robust cloud infrastructure, makes data extraction incredibly efficient and scalable for our business.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Apify is powerful, the initial learning curve for custom coding can be steep. However, their excellent documentation and pre-built templates quickly solve this issue. Once you understand the logic, the flexibility it offers is unmatched. I appreciate how the platform balances advanced features with enough support to overcome any technical challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify effectively solves the problem of unreliable data extraction and the high cost of maintaining custom scrapers. By handling IP rotation and infrastructure scaling, it allows us to automate competitor monitoring effortlessly. This benefits our team by saving countless engineering hours, enabling us to focus entirely on analyzing market insights rather than debugging code.
