Other tools we tested charged us for time, and some of their tools were not that efficient. Apify is much faster and more cost-effective.

Juliano Nassar

Product Owner

With Apify, in 30 seconds, I had the data that I’d been trying to get for weeks.

Ashley Copp

Solopreneur

I couldn't be more excited. I wish I could write JavaScript, but thanks to low-code and no-code flowgramming, it's unbelievable.

Jon Jones

Head of Marketing at Custom Creative

We've been using Apify Google Maps scraper for many clients and there hasn't been any kind of problems. It works very, very smooth. It was flawless. It's been a great help for us and many of our clients.

Nikhil Kshettri

Project Manager

If Apify disappeared, I’d have to build my own scrapers and handle server hosting myself. Apify’s handling of these aspects is invaluable.

Tom Hall

Founder

We looked at several providers both open source and paid solutions, and Apify was the most complete, reliable solution we found. It was miles ahead of everything else we reviewed.

Pranav Singh

Engineering Manager

The developer's swiss army knife. What I absolutely love about Apify is the community and ecosystem around it. Apify Store is a treasure trove of pre-built Actors that save you a ton of time. It's like having a team of experts contributing to your project.

Jiri Novak

Engineer

Apify has helped our organization in building some of the best tools for our customers. Apify services allow for consistency - prior we ran everything on our own infrastructure and it was a nightmare. Thanks to Apify - all of our crawlers run smoothly and we don’t have to worry about the infrastructure or the proxies.

Flexible pricing that scales with you

Apify offers a simple $49/month plan that includes platform credits for unlimited access to thousands of scraping tools and custom scraper hosting — all under one plan. In contrast, G Maps Extractor operates on a pay-as-you-go model, charging per request based on usage volume. With Apify, you’re also able to customize your costs, starting with $0.5 per 1000 reviews scraped, for example.
