What does the Google Play Reviews Scraper do?

The Google Play Reviews Scraper turns any Android app on the Google Play Store into a structured review dataset. Feed it one or more apps - by name (Spotify), package (com.spotify.music) or Play Store URL - and it returns each review as a flat row: who wrote it, the star score, the written review text, the date, how many users found it helpful, the app version reviewed and the developer's reply. Sort by newest, rating or relevance, narrow to a single star rating, and set Max reviews per app to any depth: 100, 10,000 or every review the app has - the Actor auto-paginates until it gets there. This is the fast, low-cost way to pull Google Play reviews at scale without touching a browser.

What data can you get from a Google Play review?

Each review row carries the fields buyers ask for:

• 👤 User name - the reviewer's display name
• ⭐ Score - star rating from 1 to 5
• 📝 Review text - the written review content
• 📅 Date - when the review was posted (ISO 8601)
• 👍 Thumbs-up count - how many users marked it helpful
• 💬 Developer reply - the developer's response text and reply date
• 🔢 App version - the build the user reviewed
• 🆔 Review ID - a stable identifier for deduping
• 🖼 Avatar - the reviewer's profile image URL

The complete raw review object is also attached under data, so no field is ever lost.

How to scrape Google Play reviews

1. Open the Google Play Reviews Scraper and click Try for free. The input form is prefilled with a working example app, so a first run returns real reviews with zero setup.
2. In Apps, paste one or more package names (com.spotify.music), Play Store URLs, or plain app names (Spotify). Mix freely.
3. Pick a Sort order - newest, rating or most relevant - and optionally set a Star filter to pull only 1 to 5 star reviews.
4. Set Max reviews per app to control depth and cost, then choose Country and Language for localized reviews.
5. Click Start, then export the results to CSV, Excel, JSON or the API.

Each run also writes a summary record to the OUTPUT key with the review count, error count and estimated cost. Error rows carry an error_code and are free - you pay only for real reviews.

How much does it cost to scrape Google Play reviews?

Reviews are billed at $0.10 per 1,000 results ($0.0001 each). The math is simple:

• $5 in free Apify trial credits = roughly 50,000 reviews ($5 / $0.0001)
• 1,000 reviews = $0.10
• 50,000 reviews = $5.00
• 100,000 reviews = $10.00

You are charged only for review rows actually returned. Errors and empty results cost nothing, so a misconfigured run never burns your budget. Live per-event pricing is shown on this actor's Apify Store page.

Is it legal to scrape Google Play?

Scraping publicly available data, including public app reviews on Google Play, is broadly legal in the US and EU and has been upheld in cases such as hiQ v. LinkedIn.

You are responsible for using the output in line with Google's terms, GDPR/CCPA and your local laws - for compliance-sensitive projects, consult your legal team.

FAQ

How many reviews can I pull per app? As many as the app has. Set Max reviews per app to 100, 10,000 or 1,000,000 - the Actor keeps pulling the review feed until it reaches your number or runs out of reviews, and you pay only per review returned.

Which apps and countries are supported? Any public app on the Google Play Store, in any country and language. Set Country and Language for localized reviews.

Can I call this from the API or an integration? Yes. Each Apify actor ships a REST API, scheduler, webhooks and an MCP server, so you can run the Google Play Reviews Scraper from your own code, Make, Zapier or an AI agent.

Can I filter by star rating? Yes. Set the Star filter to pull only 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 star reviews, and Sort by newest, rating or relevance.

Do I pay for failed runs? No. Error and empty rows are free - you are billed only for real review results.
