Price

US$ 2.50 per 1,000 rows on the Free plan (a company or a review), no start fee. Rows with an errorCode are free; a company is never charged twice in a run, even when it appears in two of your directories.

Errors you may see

errorCode	Meaning	Charged
INVALID_URL	not a goodfirms.co link or company slug	no
NO_COMPANIES	the page has no company list (software product pages, for example)	no
NOT_FOUND	no company profile at that address	no
ONLY_FREELANCERS	every company on the list is an individual freelancer profile	no
FREELANCER_SKIPPED	the profile you asked for belongs to an individual freelancer	no
BLOCKED	GoodFirms did not answer after five attempts on new IPs; run again	no
NOT_REACHED	the run timeout arrived before this link	no
INVALID_INPUT	a filter value is not valid	no
ITEM_UNREADABLE, UNEXPECTED	a card came in a shape we did not expect; the rest of the run goes on	no

Good to know

• Whole directories, not a sample. The Actor follows GoodFirms' own pages to the end (the software development list has over 500 pages of 48 companies).
• Individual freelancer profiles are skipped. GoodFirms lists some one-person profiles under the team size "Freelancer"; those are personal data and are not collected or charged.
• No personal data from reviews. A review row carries the reviewer's role and company as shown on GoodFirms, never the reviewer's name, initial or photo. Company phone numbers and e-mails are not collected either.
• Website links are clean: GoodFirms' tracking parameters (utm_*) are removed.
• Something broke? Open an issue on the Actor page.

FAQ

Do I need a GoodFirms account? No. Nothing to log in to, no cookies to paste.

Which links work? Any GoodFirms page that lists service companies: the main categories, country and city lists, and service pages such as goodfirms.co/content-marketing. Copy the link from your browser after choosing filters on GoodFirms, or use the filter fields here.

How fast is it? A directory page of 48 companies takes about two seconds. With profile details, five profiles are read in parallel (300 profiles took about one minute in a test).

Can I use it from n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent? Yes, through the Apify app or the Apify MCP server. Error rows are free, so an agent can explore cheaply.

What if a run is cut by its timeout? The Actor stops 45 seconds before the limit and ends successfully with what it delivered, telling you in the status message how to get the rest.

Changelog

• 0.1 (2026-09-28): first version. Directory and profile links, hourly rate, team size and review filters, profile details, client reviews without reviewer names, free error rows.
