Our take

Apify describes a marketplace of ready-to-run tools (Actors) for web data, lead generation, competitor tracking, and AI agent integrations. The pricing page lists Free with $5 included usage, Starter at $19 a month, Scale at $199, and Business at $999, with pay-as-you-go overage on paid plans. Actor pricing is often pay-per-event on top of platform usage.

Best for: you need ready-made or custom web scrapers and automations (Actors) that feed leads, research, or AI agents.

Pros

  • Store of Actors plus MCP/API paths matches AI-agent and automation workflows.
  • Free plan with monthly usage credit and clear Starter through Business ladder are published.
  • Fits lead gen and research jobs that Zapier alone cannot scrape.

Cons

  • Store Actors are priced by their owners; the plan fee is not the whole bill.
  • Scraping still needs compliance and anti-bot judgment the platform does not absorb for you.
  • Unused prepaid usage does not roll over, per the pricing FAQ.
