It's great how easy it is to use the scrapping tools
What do you like best about the product?
It's great how easy it is to use the scrapping tools and unified API for all the scrappers, compared to other tried solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost, and that it forces you to subscribe after the initial credit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me a lot with scrapping data from networks, so that smarter decision could be made.
Easy to set up. And then it just works.
What do you like best about the product?
- Ease of use and implementation. I select an Actor in the Store, connect it via API to Make.com or n8n, and test the automation. Then I just forget about it.
- It just works. I actually don't need to check or enter their UI, unless I have another amazing research idea and I need another automation.
- It helps with massive-scale research on startups and growing companies that we're doing.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm really trying hard to think and write at least 'anything' in this section.
Well, the UI could be more modern :)
But it's not a blocker, for sure. In fact, it's really cool that you don't even need Apify's UI in your everyday work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm extracting tons of marketing insights about the startups and growing companies: their websites, social media accounts, and other publicly available data.
These structured insights are then AI-analyzed and reviewed by human research experts to produce research reports.

Apify: The Best Data Extraction Tool I have Ever Found
What do you like best about the product?
It manages CAPTCHA solving, fingerprinting, and session management automatically, which saves development time
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, some actors run slower than expected, which can interrupt my scraping workflow
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify built in anti blocking measures ensure reliable data collection even from challenging sites, this lets me focus on building projects without worrying about interruptions in data flow.
My Experience with Apify
What do you like best about the product?
Apify Python SDK integrates into my workflow, and prebuild actors save me hours of coding. The smart proxy rotation and integration with Zapier are go to features of this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Python support is undoubtedly strong, I would love to see SDK options expand to other languages like Go or Rust
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It resolves the challenges of managing scalable web scraping infrastructure, so I can focus on creating Python applications without worrying about infrastructure.
Been a pleasure to use this service.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how quickly I can get a new crawler up and running. The scheduling features let me automate tasks so I can focus on other projects, and the documentation is clear enough that I rarely get stuck.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s not much to dislike. Occasionally I wish there were more granular pricing tiers for smaller projects, but it’s a minor point given how much value Apify provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify has taken the headache out of gathering and updating data from multiple websites. Before, I spent hours manually scraping or coding my own scrapers, but Apify’s automation tools let me set up robust crawlers in minutes. Now, I can schedule regular extractions and stay focused on analyzing results rather than wrestling with code. It’s freed up a ton of time, and having accurate, real-time data on hand has made decision-making faster and more confident.
Great individual actors, severely lacking customer service
What do you like best about the product?
Different models of pricing help manage costs better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer service agents take a long time to respond, do not follow up when they say they would.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping me source data that is difficult to find and access through other means.

Apify solves major problems in data extraction through automation of data collection and Integration with popular tools like Zapier,It saves me time by allowing me to run scalable scraping projects.
Pleasant, painless, goods as advertised.
What do you like best about the product?
APIFY provides the exact service that it says it does. And, it does it well, it's well priced and offers a good selection of pre-made 'actors', as well as the functionality to create, host and sell your own
What do you dislike about the product?
I knew what APIFY was about before I used the service (it's aimed at more advanced internet users), so it's not something I actively dislike but if I have to say something negative it would be that sometimes it takes a while for the creator of an actor to reply when reached out to. But, I understand they're users of the site, not staff.
