How much does it cost to scrape Google Play apps?

You pay only for the rows you get: one price per app or chart place, a higher one per app with full details (description, ratings by stars, categories, data safety and more), and one per review. Platform usage is included, so there is nothing else to pay.

Every Apify account gets $5 of free usage each month, so you can try it at no cost. Max results keeps the cost of a run under control, and you can set a maximum cost per run. See the Pricing tab for the price on your plan.

An Apps row has the app's main fields (name, developer, price, rating, icon, summary); the detail fields are empty. A Top charts row adds chartType, chartCategory and position. A Reviews row looks like:

{
  "appId": "com.spotify.music",
  "reviewId": "f6838cb6-afea-431c-a481-5128b23221de",
  "reviewUserName": "Jane D.",

  "reviewReplyText": null,
  "reviewAppVersion": "9.1.80.2221",
  "country": "US",
  "source": "com.spotify.music",
  "sourceType": "reviews"
}

The Overview tab lists every app with its icon, the Details tab shows the full fields, the Charts tab shows chart places in order, and the Reviews tab shows one row per review. The run report lists any app or developer that does not exist.

How can I use Google Play data?

• App store optimization (ASO): see which apps rank for your keywords, with their titles, ratings and installs
• Competitor tracking: follow competitors' updates, prices, ratings, installs and reviews
• Market research: find the top apps per category and country, and the developers behind them
• Review analysis: collect reviews to understand what users love and complain about
• Lead generation: build lists of developers with their emails and websites
• Privacy research: see what data apps share and collect, and what they request

How many apps and reviews can I get?

Keyword search returns about 30 apps per term and country (add more terms or countries to collect more), the apps listed on a developer's page, about 50 similar apps per app, and up to 200 places per top chart per country and category. Reviews are read page by page with no fixed limit — set Max results or Max reviews per app to choose how many. An app found by two inputs in the same country is saved once.

❓FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape Google Play?

You pay per row: one price per app or chart place, a higher one per app with full details, and one per review. Platform usage is included, and every account gets $5 of free usage a month. See the Pricing tab for the exact price on your plan.

Do I need a Google account?

No. The scraper reads the same public Google Play pages anyone can see without signing in.

Which countries and languages are supported?

Every Google Play country. Use two-letter codes like us, gb, de, fr, jp, br or in, and a language like en, de or pt-br. Prices, availability and text come in that country and language.

Can I get app reviews?

Yes. Set What to scrape to Reviews and add the app IDs. Each review has its rating, text, date, helpful votes, the app version and the developer's reply.

How many results can I get per search?

Logged-out Google Play search returns about 30 apps per term, so add more search terms or countries to collect more. Similar apps (~50), top charts (up to 200) and reviews return far more.

Why are the version number or minimum Android version sometimes empty?

Google no longer shows the exact version number and minimum Android version on the public app page for every app, so these fields are returned only where Google still publishes them and may be empty. Everything else — installs, rating, ratings by stars, update date, description and more — is always included.

What happens with a removed app or a wrong package name?

The run goes on with the other inputs, and the run report lists the apps and developers that do not exist. An app available in one country but not another is marked as unavailable there.

Can I connect Google Play Scraper to other tools or AI agents?

Yes. Start runs and download results with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, send results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack with Apify integrations and webhooks, or let AI assistants and agents run it through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com.

Is it legal to scrape Google Play?

This scraper only collects public app information that developers chose to publish on Google Play. It does not collect private data such as user accounts. Some fields, like a developer's name or email or a reviewer's name, can still be personal data, which may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape it for a legitimate reason and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in Is web scraping legal?

Google Play Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google or Google Play.
