SCRAPING & DATA EXTRACTION
Apify
Paid links. We earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It never changes our ranking — see how we rank.
Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
A platform for running web scrapers: a marketplace of ready-made ones for common sites, plus hosting for your own, with proxies and scheduling handled.
Who it is for
Developers and analysts who need data from sites that have no API, and who would rather not run the infrastructure.
Where it is strongest
Scraping a well-known site where someone has already built and maintained the scraper. That maintenance is the real product — sites change and scrapers break.
Where it falls short
Usage-based pricing is hard to predict and a misconfigured run gets expensive fast. Community scrapers vary wildly and some are abandoned. And scraping raises terms-of-service and data-protection questions that are yours, not theirs.
Our verdict
Recommended for the maintained scrapers, which is where the value is. Check what the source site permits before you run anything at volume — that is your liability.
