The best alternative to Mozenda
Mozenda's web scraping solutions turn millions of web pages into data every day, but how do they compare to Apify's powerful and flexible web scraping platform?
When we say free, we mean it
Mozenda offers a 30-day free trial, after which you'll be required to subscribe to one of their monthly plans. Apify offers a free forever trial that provides $5 of credit every month. This gives you access to all areas of the Apify platform with no export limitations. Get data in CSV, JSON, XML, RSS, Excel, and HTML.
Get more for less on a paid plan
Mozenda’s base plan starts at $250 and lacks flexibility for users with diverse web scraping needs. In contrast, Apify’s entry-level plan costs only $49 per month and provides full access to all platform features and unlimited use of any scrapers (Actors) within your credit limit.
Scrape without limits
Modern websites use advanced anti-bot protections that can be hard or impossible to bypass when trying to scrape at scale using Mozenda. But Apify provides access to the most advanced anti-blocking features on the market to make your scrapers scalable, easy to use, and reliable.
A true cloud platform
With Mozenda, you need to download software called “Agent Builder” to build your scrapers (agents) and then run them in the cloud. This software is only available for Windows. Apify lets you handle everything in the cloud without limitations regardless of the hardware or operating system you're using.
Access over 2,000 scrapers on Apify Store
Every Apify plan, including the free one, grants full access to the Actors listed on Apify Store. This community-driven store allows you to use or rent any Actor to scrape a variety of websites, including Twitter (X), Instagram, and Facebook. Almost any website you need is likely covered. That means you don't need to build every single scraper you need.
Have full control over your scrapers
While Mozenda restricts you to the scrapers generated by interacting with their visual builder, Apify lets you code, host, and run your custom solutions on Apify servers. Build Actors locally or directly in the platform’s Web IDE, using a full suite of developer tools.
Integrate Actors with your favorite apps
With Apify, you can schedule jobs to run automatically and connect your Apify tasks with cloud services and web apps to enhance your automation capabilities. Integrate your workflows with Gmail, Airtable, Make, Zapier, Google Drive, GitHub, Keboola, and more, without requiring the Apify team to set them up for you.
