Effortless to Use with Powerful Tools and Seamless Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I use Apify frequently. It's so easy to use and implementation, and especially because of the number of tools it has. Furthermore, its integrations are simple to implement. And customer support is efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, so good. Although I would add that it would be more powerful if it were available in multiple languages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It saves us a lot of time and, above all, that translates into saving money.
Effortless Automation and Reliability for Complex Data Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Apify makes it easy to automate complex data workflows without dealing with servers or infrastructure. I use it across several projects, and the platform has been consistently reliable. The combination of scheduled runs, built-in storage, and clear logs makes the whole process simple and fast to maintain. It’s one of the few tools where you can go from idea to production in a very short time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I’d improve is deeper monitoring and analytics for long-running or high-frequency automations. Nothing major, just more visibility would be helpful for scaling even further.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify helps me automate data collection and repetitive workflows across several of my projects. Instead of manually gathering data or maintaining custom scripts, I can run everything on a schedule and keep it consistent. This has reduced manual effort, improved accuracy, and allowed me to scale tasks that would be too time-consuming to handle by hand.
Reliable for Workflow Newbie
What do you like best about the product?
Apify had the content accesses I needed and a module that was pretty simple as a newbie to integrate with make.com - and the data comes when I call it. I'm happy with it - and as a learner with workflows - It's nice that I can rely on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a newbie to workflow design, it's a bit challenging to be sure that you've got the best module chosen for what you need to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me pull information I need from a service that makes scraping its data pretty challenging. Apify can access that data and sends it on to my make automation.
Powerful Platform, Great Support, and Excellent Value
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about this platform is its remarkable blend of power and usability. It boasts an incredible level of scalability, allowing it to handle a wide range of projects, from simple applications to complex systems. The extensive library of pre-built Actors is a game-changer; these resources drastically reduce development time and streamline the entire process, enabling developers to focus on creativity rather than coding from scratch.
Moreover, the user interface is refreshingly intuitive, making navigation seamless even for those who may not be as technically inclined. Whenever I’ve encountered challenges, the support team has been outstanding. They respond promptly and provide thorough, helpful guidance that efficiently resolves my issues. Given its robust capabilities, this platform delivers exceptional value for the investment, making it a wise choice for developers seeking to enhance their productivity without compromising on quality.

What do you dislike about the product?
The primary drawback is that the pricing model can initially appear somewhat convoluted, making it challenging to accurately assess the total costs associated with platform usage, compute units, and proxy services.
Additionally, while utilizing the pre-built Actors is remarkably straightforward, there may be a significant learning curve for those who wish to create or customize their own scrapers. This can be particularly daunting for users who lack a programming background, as the intricacies of developing bespoke solutions can be complex and require a solid understanding of the underlying principles.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify solves the problem of data sourcing consistency. It allows me to gather and source all the data I need from a single, centralized platform, which keeps my workflows organized and efficient.
The primary benefit is how simple it is to scale. When I need to source more data or tap into a new website, it's very easy to just plug in a new "Actor." Because the platform is so consistent, I don't have to reinvent the wheel every time, which saves a significant amount of time and effort.

Essential for Data Gathering, But Pricing and Learning Curve Need Work
What do you like best about the product?
Apify is central to my data-gathering workflow. My main use case is running an Amazon product scraper, which is critical for my affiliate marketing strategy. It helps me move beyond manual research and systematically identify top products. I also regularly employ it as a general website content crawler, which is invaluable when I need to extract text data from targeted websites for analysis or to feed into other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing and cost structure can be challenging to anticipate, which makes budgeting a bit tricky. There is also a significant learning curve, and I feel that the user interface could use some improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I rely on Apify as my main web scraping tool for AI automations. It plays a crucial role in collecting the data necessary to drive my workflows.
Excellent hosting for all software projects but I hope the user experience will be improved.
What do you like best about the product?
Speed of order execution
The ability to specify a specific RAM size for each actor.
The API service enables the user to communicate with their program using programming languages.

What do you dislike about the product?
Prices should be reduced.
Discount coupons should be offered.
Plans with fewer features and lower prices should be added.
Adding advanced search features such as searching within run outputs
Working to speed up site response
I think it would be an excellent feature to add a database with a control panel for all actor outputs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In fact, without Apify, I wouldn't know what to do, as it's the only hosting provider I could find that suited my needs. All the projects of the companies I work with—at least 10 companies—are entirely on Apify. And Apify has always been a source of praise from company managers for its speed in fulfilling their requests.
The problem we were facing was that we had an online ordering website and received many orders daily that we couldn't handle on our own. Therefore, we created an automated order fulfillment program and hosted it on Apify.

Sleek User Experience, But Pricing Needs Clarity
What do you like best about the product?
Sleek experience that allows me to save a lot of time for my business
What do you dislike about the product?
Confusing pricing - I think it would be useful to have unified, transparent pricing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using apify I would manually extract data whereas now I can do it automatically
Less tech stress, more shipping
What do you like best about the product?
Apify lets me go from idea to running automation in minutes. Templates/Actors cover 80% out of the box, docs are clear, and scheduling + webhooks + storage just… work. It scales from a tiny test to production without me babysitting servers. Integrations via API are straightforward, so it plugs into my stack fast. Net result: less tech stress, more shipping.
What do you dislike about the product?
Handling edge cases sometimes requires additional adjustments, such as fine-tuning selectors or overcoming anti-bot measures. Debugging concurrency issues at scale often means digging through logs. The pricing structure is reasonable, but it's easy to use up credits quickly if you're not careful, so having guardrails like limits or alerts is essential. I would also appreciate seeing more first-party templates, especially for niche sites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Automates repetitive web tasks (price checks, audits) → saves hours weekly.
- Reliable data extraction at scale → cleaner inputs for reports.
- Change monitoring with webhooks → faster alerts, fewer surprises.
- No server maintenance → lower ops overhead, more time to build.
Net effect: faster delivery, fewer errors, less tech stress.
