Comparably Scraper: Company Culture, Ratings, Reviews & Salaries

Comparably Scraper turns Comparably company profiles into structured data. Give it a list of company names or profile URLs and get back one clean record per company: overall rating, culture score and grade, CEO score, 12 culture dimensions, employee reviews, salaries by job title, plus revenue, headquarters, awards and more. Search by name or paste links, then export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results straight into your app through the API.

Why This Scraper?

• One clean record per company. Profile, reviews and salaries all arrive in a single row, not scattered fragments across separate calls.
• Search by company name. Type "Google" and the actor derives its profile page directly. No need to hunt for URLs first.
• Deep profile coverage. Revenue, phone, headquarters address, website, 12 culture dimensions, metro area, awards and leadership data, all included.
• Salaries by job title. Department and amount attached to every company, with a page cap you control.
• Employee reviews with structure. The question answered, author label, date and a permalink to each review, walked across as many pages as you allow.
• Sections on demand. Switch reviews and salaries on or off per run, and pay only for what you use.
• Built for monitoring. Incremental mode returns only new and changed companies on recurring runs, and resume picks up one interrupted run without re-collecting what it already has.

Use Cases

• HR and recruiting research: compare culture scores, CEO ratings and salary bands across a shortlist of employers.
• Compensation benchmarking: collect salary-by-title entries across companies to build pay-band models.
• Competitive and market research: track how a competitor's public rating, reviews and awards move over time.
• Sales and lead enrichment: attach company size signals, headquarters and website to a target account list.
• Employer brand monitoring: watch your own company's rating, culture grade and new reviews on a schedule.

Data You Get

website	"http://www.example.com/"
phone	"+1-000-000-0000"
address	"1 Example Plaza, Sample City, CA 00000, USA"
mission	"Sample company mission statement goes here."
revenue	1000000000
logo	"https://cdn.comparably.com/00000000/l/sample-logo.png"

awardsCount / awards	10 / list of award objects (when present)
owner	leadership/ownership data (when present)
relatedCompanies	companies Comparably lists as related (when present)
reviews	employee reviews, empty unless enabled
salaries	salary entries, empty unless enabled
profileRaw	the complete upstream profile payload, so nothing is lost

Each item in reviews carries a review ID, permalink, the question it answers, the review text, an author label, a date, a posted-ago label and a department. Each item in salaries carries a job title, the posted salary or salary-plus-bonus amount, a department, how long ago it was posted and a link to the entry.

How to Use

1. Pick a mode: search (company names) or url (paste profile links or bare slugs).
2. Fill in the fields for that mode, and switch reviews and salaries on or off.
3. Set Max companies (and, for reviews, Max reviews / Max review pages) to control run size and cost, then click Start.
4. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

Search by company name (recommended):

{
  "mode": "search",
  "companies": ["Google", "Microsoft", "Goldman Sachs"],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "includeSalaries": true,
  "maxReviews": 100
}

Direct URLs (or bare slugs):

{
  "mode": "url",
  "urls": ["https://www.comparably.com/companies/google", "microsoft"]
}

Profiles only, fastest and cheapest:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "companies": ["Apple", "Netflix"],
  "includeReviews": false,
  "includeSalaries": false
}

Lots of reviews for one company:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "companies": ["Amazon"],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviews": 1500,
  "maxReviewPages": 20,
  "includeSalaries": false
}

Run it from your code

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("abotapi/comparably-scraper").call(run_input={"mode": "search", "companies": ["Google"]})
for company in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(company["name"], company["overallRating"], company["cultureGrade"])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('abotapi/comparably-scraper').call({ mode: 'search', companies: ['Google'] });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or webhooks from the Integrations tab.

Resume and recurring updates

• Resume (resumeFromRunId) continues one interrupted run: paste its run or dataset ID and the actor skips every company slug it already collected there, so you don't pay twice.
• Incremental mode (incrementalMode) is for scheduled runs over the same company list. Each company is classified NEW, UPDATED (with changedFields), UNCHANGED (suppressed and not billed unless emitUnchanged is on), REAPPEARED or EXPIRED (only after a run that scanned the whole tracked list, and only with emitExpired). stateKey names or shares the stored state; leave it empty and the actor derives one automatically from the company list and section settings. With incremental mode off, output is exactly as before.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape: the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each record, not the full JSON. Each item becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. (If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.)
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where items should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip.

Plan Requirement

Comparably admits connections from US residential networks. Use Apify Residential proxy with country US (the prefilled default). The Apify Starter plan and above include Residential proxy access. On the free plan, without Residential proxy, runs may return no items.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

You pay per company record returned, plus a small per-company charge when that record carries reviews or salaries (switch both off for profiles only). The Pricing tab shows the current rates. Use Max companies, Max reviews and Max review pages to cap the cost of any run.

Is it legal to scrape Comparably?

This actor collects only publicly available company profile data. You are responsible for how you use it: follow Comparably's terms and the laws that apply to you, and get legal advice if you plan commercial redistribution.

Can I get only new or changed companies on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule the actor from the Schedules tab and turn on Incremental mode. Each run then returns only new, updated and reappeared companies, and unchanged ones are not billed.

Why does the proxy setting matter so much?

Comparably only admits connections from US residential IPs. With any other proxy setting, requests are refused and the run returns no items. Keep the prefilled Residential (US) proxy unless you have a specific reason to change it.

Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset?

If no company name or URL resolves to a real profile, the run stops with a clear message so "nothing matched" is never confused with "the site returned nothing to read". Check your company names or URLs and run it again.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push results into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
