Apify Alternative

Apify bills per compute unit, then stacks proxy costs and third-party actor fees on top, so the sticker price tells you little about your real bill. For lead and business data, ScraperCity hands you ready-made scrapers and a verified database for $149/month flat. Start for free.

Search 4,566,481 B2B contacts, or run a ready-made scraper. No compute units, no proxies.

Why Teams Switch from Apify

No Compute-Unit Math

Apify meters usage in compute units, so memory settings and run time decide your bill. ScraperCity is one flat monthly price with nothing to calculate.

No Marketplace Actor Fees

Store actors on Apify often add their own pay-per-result or monthly rental charges on top of compute. With ScraperCity, every scraper is included in the flat price.

No Proxy Bills

Apify charges extra for proxies, and residential proxies run about $7 to $8 per GB on defended sites. ScraperCity handles proxying, so there is nothing to buy.

Scrapers Plus a Lead Database

Skip building or renting actors. Run a ready-made scraper or search a verified B2B lead database directly, both in the same flat price.

Common Apify Complaints

Based on user feedback, these are the cost and complexity issues that send people looking for a simpler option:

Bills Spike Without Warning

Users report that a misconfigured actor or a site that triggers heavy proxy use can push the monthly bill well past what they expected. ScraperCity is flat, so there is nothing to spike.

Compute Units Are Hard to Reason About

Memory settings, concurrent runs, and how they translate into compute units overwhelm non-technical users. ScraperCity has no units to tune.

Marketplace Fees Stack on Top

Third-party Store actors often charge their own per-result or monthly rental fees on top of platform usage, so the real cost is hard to see up front. ScraperCity includes every scraper at $149.
