Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What is App Store and Google Play Scraper?

Reads apps from the Apple App Store and Google Play, from links, Apple ids or package names mixed in one list. Every row is one review with the app's details attached: rating, rating count, star breakdown, installs, price, category, version and last update, plus the review's stars, text, app version, helpful votes and the developer's reply. Up to 500 of the newest reviews per app, in any store country. Reviews come without reviewer names or avatars. Apps we cannot find are skipped and not charged. Built for review analysis, app store optimization and release monitoring.

- **Both stores in one Actor.** Mix App Store links, Apple ids, Play links and package names in one list.
- **The newest reviews.** Up to 500 per app with stars, text, app version, helpful votes and developer replies.
- **App details on every row.** Rating, rating count, installs, price, category, version and last update.
- **No personal data.** Reviews come without reviewer names, avatars or account ids.

| `histogram` | Ratings per star, 1 to 5, on Google Play |

| `price` | Price, 0 when free |
| `genre` | Store category |
| `version` | Current version |

The table view in Apify shows App, Store, Rating, Stars, Review, Date. The full record is in the JSON, CSV, Excel and XML exports, and over the API.

### How to use App Store and Google Play Scraper

1. Open App Store and Google Play Scraper in the Apify Console. A free Apify account is enough to try it.
2. Paste your apps, one per line, or upload a list.
3. Click **Start**. Each app is processed on its own, so one bad entry never loses the batch.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send them to your own tools with an integration.

### Input

One field: **apps**. App Store or Google Play links, Apple app ids like 1232780281, or package names like com.spotify.music.

A second field, **maxReviewsPerApp**, caps how many of the newest reviews are returned per app (default 10, at most 500). Set it to 1 for app details only.

**country** picks the store country, as a two-letter code like `us` (default `us`).

Every line is checked before the run starts. Each must be an App Store or Google Play link, an Apple app id like 324684580, or a package name like com.spotify.music; a run with any other line is refused with that line named, so a typo never costs you anything.

```json
{
  "apps": [
    "com.spotify.music"
  ],
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 10,
  "country": "us"
}
```

### Output

An app we cannot find, or one with no reviews, is skipped and costs nothing. The run log names every one that was skipped, so a short result is never a mystery.

```json
{
  "store": "google_play",
  "appId": "notion.id",
  "appUrl": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=notion.id",
  "title": "Notion: AI Workspace",
  "developer": "Notion Labs, Inc.",
  "rating": 4.6,
  "ratingCount": 393809,
  "histogram": [
    18919,
    5953,
    12951,
    39182,
    316772
  ],
  "installs": "10,000,000+",
  "price": 0,
  "genre": "Productivity",
  "version": "0.6.4176",
  "updatedAt": "2026-09-24T01:47:26Z",
  "reviewRating": 5,
  "reviewText": "I love this app very much. it is very wonderful and useful app. thank you!",
  "reviewDate": "2026-09-24T16:41:45Z",
  "thumbsUp": 0,
  "developerReply": null
}
```

### How much does App Store and Google Play Scraper cost?

App Store and Google Play Scraper charges two things, both only on success: **$0.50 per 1,000 reviews** returned ($0.0005 each), and **$5 per 1,000 apps** read ($0.005 each). There is no separate compute charge. For example, 100 apps with 50 reviews each cost $0.50 for the apps plus $2.50 for the 5,000 reviews, $3 in total.

- **You pay only for results.** An app we cannot find, or one with no reviews, is skipped and costs nothing.
- **Try it on the free plan.** On Apify's free plan you get 50 reviews from this Actor in total, not per month, to try it out. After that a run stops and asks you to move to a paid Apify plan. Paid plans have no limit.
- **Volume discounts.** Scale plans pay 5% less per result and Business plans 10% less.
- **Cap any run.** Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

### Common use cases

- **Review analysis.** Find what users love and hate about your app or a rival's.
- **App store optimization.** Track ratings, versions and categories across a set of apps.
- **Release monitoring.** Schedule a task to see what users say after each release.
- **Market research.** Compare ratings and installs across a whole category.

### FAQ

#### What can I give it?

App Store links like apps.apple.com/us/app/notion/id1232780281, Apple ids like 1232780281, Google Play links, or package names like com.spotify.music.

#### Why are ratings different between the stores?

Each store counts its own ratings. The Actor returns each store's own numbers and never merges them.

#### How many reviews can I get?

Up to 500 of the newest per app. On the App Store that is the most the store makes public for one country.

#### Is there a free trial?

Yes. On Apify's free plan you get 50 reviews from this Actor in total to try it, charged to your free Apify credit. After that, runs stop and ask you to move to a paid Apify plan, which has no limit.

#### Do I need cookies, a login or proxies?

No. App Store and Google Play Scraper works without cookies, accounts, proxies or API keys. Paste your apps and run it; everything else is handled for you.

#### Is it legal to use App Store and Google Play Scraper?

App Store and Google Play Scraper collects only publicly available public app listings and reviews from the Apple App Store and Google Play. As with any data collection, you are responsible for how you use the results: follow the terms of the websites you work with and data protection laws such as GDPR wherever personal data is involved. If you are unsure about your use case, check with a lawyer.

#### Does App Store and Google Play Scraper have an API?

Yes. Every run is available through the Apify API, with the JavaScript and Python examples above, and through the Apify MCP server for AI agents.
