The Actor Store Is a Huge Time-Saver
What do you like best about the product?
The Actor Store is the single biggest time-saver. Instead of building and maintaining scrapers from scratch, there's almost always a pre-built Actor for the platform you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
The credit based pricing is the biggest frustration. It's genuinely hard to estimate what a run will cost before you execute it, and a poorly optimized Actor or an unexpectedly large crawl can burn through credits faster than expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The core problem Apify solves for us is reliable access to data that doesn't come with an API. Apify handles the infrastructure, anti-bot measures, and proxy rotation so we don't have to. The direct benefit is that we can take on data-driven client projects without scoping in significant engineering overhead.

A complicated tool for beginners
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Apify, I can find task-specific tools for my n8n workflows to perform scraping. The store provides affordable solutions and provides monthly credits, so I can use it regularly. It saves a lot of time and helps me replace comlex workflows or nodes that don't work properly in n8n for some reason.
Faster Actor Updates and Powerful JavaScript-Heavy Web Scraping
What do you like best about the product?
The recent update on actor has made things faster, think of it as server less functions, that can run on demand. The use cases are vast. The scraping ability for javascript heavy websites is too good.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's UI is a bit crowded for me to start as learning curve can be harder. Can't estimate costs. As it can steep very high easily without any warnings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting data from the website that don't usually allow scrapers, I've made a few scrapers for clients uch as keepa.com scraper and it's faster than any other scraper
Fast and Efficient Data Scraping Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Apify's pricing is competitive and that access to the scraper is easy. I also appreciate the quality of the data obtained, which is really good and provided quickly at a very good price. I also find that the customer support is excellent, especially Thomas Gabic who resolved my issues very quickly. Finally, I appreciate the scrapers for the main social networks because they make it easier to obtain data that is normally difficult to scrape.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lack of a credit rollover system, meaning that credits cannot be carried over from one month to the next. Additionally, the input for structuring an API call could be slightly improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify to scrape data from large platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn, which is normally very complex. This allows me to have a CRM with up-to-date and qualitative data, obtained quickly and at a very good price.
Prebuilt Actors Make Data Collection Fast and Code-Light
What do you like best about the product?
There are many pre built actors for common platforms like Google Maps, Amazon, LinkedIn, and others. I can often start collecting data without writing code from zero.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I run large scale scraping jobs or many actors in parallel, compute costs increase quickly. It is scalable, but not cheap at volume.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify helps collect structured data from websites at scale. Instead of manually copying information or building scraping infrastructure from scratch, I can use ready made actors or create my own. It is useful for lead generation, market research, price monitoring, and data extraction. In short, it turns websites into datasets.
Efficient and Scalable Web Data Automation for Business Insights
What do you like best about the product?
Apify’s platform is intuitive, well-organized, and powerful. Setting up Actors, configuring inputs, and managing datasets is straightforward, and the built-in concurrency, retries, and scheduling features make it reliable for both small and large-scale tasks. It combines ease of use with advanced functionality, making it suitable for a wide range of users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve for beginners
Limited built-in data cleaning
Debugging and error logs can be confusing
Mobile management is clunky
High costs for large-scale use

Powerful Web Scraping and Scalable Cloud Automation
What do you like best about the product?
Apify offers a very complete ecosystem for web scraping and automation. The platform provides a large catalog of ready-made actors, which reduces setup time for common use cases such as data collection from e-commerce sites, social networks, or search engines. The documentation is clear, structured, and technical enough for advanced users. Integration with APIs, cloud storage, and external tools works reliably. Scalability is a strong point, with stable execution even for high-volume workloads.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model can become restrictive for intensive or long-running tasks, especially for small teams or individual users. Some actors require fine configuration to reach optimal performance, which can slow down initial adoption. Debugging complex runs may feel less intuitive for users who lack strong technical skills. The learning curve remains noticeable for advanced custom actors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
. It fits well within data-driven, research, or monitoring contexts. Despite a few cost and complexity constraints, Apify stands as a reliable solution for scalable web data operations.
Awesome platform for ATS scraping and making side income
What do you like best about the product?
The infrastructure is rock solid for scraping jobs from different ATS platforms. Also, publishing actors and doing their coding challenges has been a great way to make some decent prize money. They always pay on time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Keeping older actors updated when target ATS sites change their layouts can be a bit of a chore, but that's just the reality of web scraping.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It takes care of the heavy lifting and infrastructure needed to scrape across multiple ATS platforms. It also gives me a really reliable way to monetize my code as a publisher through their platform and challenges.
Powerful and Flexible Web Scraping Platform for Automation
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Apify is how flexible and reliable it is for web scraping and automation. The platform makes it easy to run ready-made Actors from the Apify Store, and at the same time, it gives you full control if you want to build custom scrapers.
I also appreciate how everything is cloud-based — scheduling, monitoring, API access, and proxy management are all handled in one place. The dashboard is clean, logs are detailed, and it’s easy to track runs and debug when needed. Once you get used to it, it becomes a very powerful tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike for me. It's an gamechanger for my use case. I automated a lot of works using Apify.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify helps us automate data collection from multiple websites without manual effort. Instead of spending hours gathering information, we can schedule scrapers and get structured data delivered automatically.
This has saved significant time, improved accuracy, and allowed us to focus more on analysis rather than data collection. It’s especially helpful for market research, and lead generation.
