Strengths & Weaknesses
Apify
3,000+ pre-built Actors for popular websites — rarely need to build from scratch
Excellent API with JavaScript and Python SDKs, webhooks, and comprehensive docs
Generous free tier with $5/mo credits, no credit card required
Compute-unit pricing can be hard to predict at scale
Requires technical knowledge for custom scrapers beyond pre-built Actors
ZenRows
Single API endpoint abstracts away CAPTCHAs, anti-bot detection, and proxy rotation
SDKs for 7+ programming languages including Python, Node, Go, and Java
Only charges for successful requests — failed requests don't consume balance
No free tier, only trial credits for evaluation
Primarily a scraping tool with limited direct GTM workflow integrations
