Apify
Apify Technologies s.r.o.
Get web data. Build automations.
Apify offers a comprehensive platform for web scraping, browser automation, and data extraction at scale. The platform combines managed cloud infrastructure with a marketplace of over 10,000 ready-to-use automation tools called Actors, making it suitable for both developers building custom solutions and business users seeking turnkey data collection.
Actors are serverless cloud programs that handle the technical complexities of modern web scraping: proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript rendering, and headless browser management. Users can deploy pre-built Actors for popular use cases like scraping Amazon product data, extracting Google Maps listings, collecting social media content, or monitoring competitor pricing. For specialized needs, developers can build custom Actors using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee, Apify's open-source web crawling library.
The platform operates a developer marketplace where programmers publish and monetize their automation tools. Apify manages infrastructure, usage tracking, and monthly payouts, creating a revenue stream for thousands of active contributors.
Enterprise features include 99.95% uptime SLA, SOC2 Type II certification, and full GDPR and CCPA compliance. The platform integrates with workflow automation tools like Zapier, Make, and n8n, supports LangChain for AI applications, and provides an MCP server that allows AI assistants to dynamically discover and execute Actors.

Browser Use
Browser Use
AI Agents & Browser Infrastructure for Web Automation
Browser Use provides AI agents and browser infrastructure for automating work on websites. Developers can delegate a task to a hosted agent or connect their own automation to a managed browser. It helps software complete website workflows where a usable API is missing, from collecting information to filling forms and downloading documents.
Browser Use Agents accepts natural-language instructions and carries out multi-step tasks in a real browser. Teams can add browser actions to their products without building and operating the agent loop themselves. Typical workflows include cross-site research, authenticated document collection, data extraction, and repetitive work across customer or vendor portals.
Browser Infrastructure provides remote Chromium sessions for existing agents, Playwright scripts, and Puppeteer automation. Features include browser stealth, residential proxy options, and automatic handling of supported CAPTCHAs. Teams keep control of their automation logic while Browser Use manages the browsers. Reusable browser profiles help preserve authenticated access between tasks.
For developers who want to run and customize their own agents, the MIT-licensed browser-use Python library works with local or cloud browsers. Browser Harness, CLI tools, SDKs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) interfaces provide additional ways to connect browser capabilities to existing applications and agents.
Browser Use serves developers building AI products, automation and data engineers, and software teams connecting business processes across third-party websites. Enterprise options include custom concurrency, SLAs, support, and negotiated data policies.
Cloud services use pay-as-you-go pricing with no required subscription. Browser runtime starts at $0.02/hour, with network traffic billed separately. Hosted agents add model costs and a 20% service fee. Purchased credits do not expire, and eligible signups receive a one-time $15 cloud credit.

Browserless
Browserless
Streamline browser automation: fast, reliable, and user-friendly.
Browserless is a powerful cloud-based browser automation and web scraping platform designed to help developers and businesses extract data from protected websites while bypassing modern bot detection systems. The platform leverages BrowserQL and low-level browser control through the Chrome DevTools Protocol to automate browser activity in ways that reduce detection from services such as Cloudflare, Datadome, and other anti-bot technologies commonly used across dynamic websites. Browserless supports a wide range of scraping and automation use cases including HTML extraction, JSON generation, screenshot capture, PDF rendering, browser testing, session management, and complex browser-based workflows. Developers can integrate the platform directly with standard Puppeteer and Playwright libraries without requiring modified frameworks, enabling them to run familiar automation scripts while offloading infrastructure management to Browserless. The system allows users to automate actions such as page rendering, JavaScript execution, dynamic content loading, form submissions, button clicks, navigation flows, and authenticated browsing sessions across protected web applications. Session reconnect capabilities help preserve cookies, browser state, and cached sessions, dramatically reducing proxy usage and improving efficiency by avoiding unnecessary fresh browser launches for every request. Browserless also provides unlocked WebSocket endpoints that developers can connect to directly for highly customizable automation workflows and integration flexibility. Optimized cloud infrastructure improves scraping performance and speed while reducing latency and operational overhead compared to maintaining self-hosted browser clusters and proxy systems.
