Apify: 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		ZenRows: About Web Scraping API & Proxy Server ZenRows API handles rotating proxies, headless browsers and CAPTCHAs for you. Easily collect content from any website with a simple API call. ZenRows will bypass any anti-bot or blocking system to help you obtain the info you are looking for. For that, we include several options such as Javascript Rendering or Premium Proxies. There is also the autoparse option that will return structured data automatically. It will convert unstructured content into structured data (JSON output), with no code necessary. ZenRows offers a high accuracy and success rate without any human intervention. No more CAPTCHAs or setting up proxies; it will be handled for you. Some domains are especially complicated (i.e., Instagram), and for those, Premium Proxies are usually required. After enabling them, the success rate will be equally high. In case the request returns an error, we will not compute nor charge that request. Only successful requests will count.

		ZenRows: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros ZenRows is convenient because it bundles proxies, CAPTCHA handling, and headless browsing into one service, which saves a lot of setup and maintenance time. Features like autoparse and JSON output can speed up data extraction, especially for teams that don’t want to build their own scraping infrastructure. Rotating proxies and managed requests also help improve success rates on sites that normally block automated traffic, and the pay-for-successful-requests model can make spending more predictable. Pricing - Not expensive, intuitive to scale. It works well - Needless to say. It's documented well enough. - How responsive it is. - It fits my needs. - The evolution I have seen in all this time using it is always towards giving me more options. I did not find a bug yet. We had to contact support a couple of times, but the support is done by developers, so the response was awesome. Cons On the downside, using a managed service means less control compared to running your own scraping stack. Costs can increase if you rely on premium proxies or advanced features, and performance may vary on highly protected or dynamic websites. There’s also a dependency on a third-party platform for critical data workflows, and troubleshooting issues can sometimes be harder than when everything is handled in-house. They commit and they deliver, so no cons to be mentioned. I would like if the autoparser supported a longer list of websites. I would like the autoparser to support a wider variety of websites.
