About

Apify is a full-stack web scraping and automation platform helping anyone get value from the web. At its core is Apify Store, a marketplace with over 10,000 Actors where developers build, publish, and monetize automation tools. Actors are serverless cloud programs that extract data, automate web tasks, and run AI agents. Developers build them using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee, Apify's open-source library. Build once, publish to Store, and earn when others use it. Thousands of developers do this - Apify handles infrastructure, billing, and monthly payouts. Apify Store has ready-made Actors for scraping Amazon, Google Maps, social media, tracking prices, lead-gen, and more. Actors handle proxies, CAPTCHAs, JavaScript rendering, headless browsers, and scaling. Everything runs on Apify's cloud with 99.95% uptime. SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliant. Integrate with Zapier, Make, n8n, and LangChain. Apify's MCP server lets AI like Claude dynamically discover and use Actors

About

Gaffa is a web scraping and browser automation API that gives developers full, real-browser control with a single API call no headless browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA handling, or scaling infrastructure to manage. JavaScript rendering is handled by default, so pages load exactly as they would for a real visitor. Gaffa supports web scraping, AI-powered structured data extraction, screenshot capture, PDF export, infinite-scroll handling, form filling, and converting any webpage into clean, LLM-ready Markdown for AI and RAG pipelines. A rotating residential proxy network ensures reliable access across geographies with automatic anti-bot bypass. Credits are charged only for actual browser execution time and bandwidth used, with no fixed infrastructure costs.

Pricing

$20 per 5000 credits
Gaffa uses a simple credit-based pricing model. Plans start at $20 for 5,000 credits, with no subscription lock-in. Credits cover both browser execution time (1 credit per 30 seconds of runtime) and residential proxy bandwidth (750 credits per GB). A typical browser session, combining short execution time with low proxy bandwidth costs, costs around 3 credits, so 5,000 credits covers roughly 1,600+ typical sessions. All new accounts also receive 500 free credits to get started, no credit card required.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Super reliable and straightforward tool. Refined set of features and clear documentation. Our setup couldn't have been much faster and we've not had any issues with the tool in over a year!
  • Our system was using a more expensive competing product, but Gaffa made the transition simple and seamless. We are primarily using it to print PDF reports from our site, but plan to expand its use to other parts of our product and processes.
  • Very easy to get going! Really expressive API. Saved me a lot of time and allowed me to do just what I needed in terms of interacting with sites and getting data back in the right way. Also the dashboard where you can see your previous requests is really useful when debugging!
