The best alternative to ParseHub
You don't get an end-to-end cloud experience with ParseHub. But Apify lets you handle everything in the cloud without limitations, from building scrapers to running and monitoring them.
“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
“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
“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.”
Steven Pignataro
Co-CEO
“We selected Apify because of their vast experience with web data collection. The project has been delivered on a short schedule, and our sales teams are now empowered with fresh, unique leads that drive targeted campaigns and strategic outreach.”
Filip Popovic
SVP Transformation & Product & HR
“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
When we say free, we mean it
ParseHub’s free plan has significant limitations, including a 200-page limit per run, no IP rotation, and no scheduling. Apify offers a free forever trial with $5 of monthly credit that grants access to Apify's proxy pool with smart IP rotation. Build, run, and schedule scrapers in the cloud, and export data in multiple formats.
Get more for less on a paid plan
ParseHub's base plan starts at $189 per month. Apify’s entry-level plan costs only $49 per month and provides full access to all platform features and unlimited use of any scrapers on Apify Store (2k+ Actors) within your credit limit.
A true cloud platform
ParseHub doesn't provide an end-to-end cloud experience, requiring you to download proprietary software to build and run scrapers. In contrast, Apify lets you handle everything in the cloud without limitations, from building scrapers to running and monitoring them.
Anti-blocking features
ParseHub offers IP rotation to help you avoid blocking. But if you've tried scraping modern, complex websites, you know that’s not enough. Apify Actors take anti-blocking to another level with intelligent proxy rotation and advanced fingerprinting techniques, ensuring your scrapers remain performant and cost-effective.
Access over 2,000 scrapers on Apify Store
With ParseHub, you must build all scrapers from scratch with their visual builder. But Apify gives you full access to the Actors on Apify Store. This community-driven marketplace lets you use or rent Actors to scrape almost any website.
Have full control over your scrapers
Apify allows you to code, host, and run custom solutions on their servers. You can build Actors locally or directly in the platform’s Web IDE, using a full suite of developer tools, including the Apify SDK, CLI, and the powerful open-source web scraping library Crawlee, available for both Node.js and Python.
Integrate Actors with your favorite apps
With Apify, you can schedule jobs to run automatically and integrate your workflows with Gmail, Airtable, Make, Zapier, Google Drive, GitHub, Keboola, and more. No need for the Apify team to set integrations up for you. Connect your tasks with cloud services and web apps to enhance your automation capabilities.
