Key features
  • 6,000+ Prebuilt Actors
  • Crawlee SDK for Custom Scrapers
  • Cloud Scheduling & Storage
  • Proxy & Anti-Blocking Infrastructure
  • API & Integrations
  • AI Agent Builder (persistent memory, custom tools)
  • Multi-Model Agent Assignment (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
  • No-Code Automation Workflows (100+ app integrations)
  • 150,000+ Cloneable Templates
  • Task, Doc & Mind Map Workspace
  • Publishable & Embeddable Agents
  • Team Workspace & Real-Time Collaboration
Pros
  • Massive library of prebuilt Actors covering almost any scraping target
  • Crawlee SDK gives full control for custom, code-first crawl logic
  • Scales to high-volume, complex scraping better than no-code tools
  • Combines project management, deployable AI agents and no-code automation in one workspace rather than three separate tools
  • Multi-model support lets you assign the right AI per agent instead of being locked to one provider
  • 150,000+ cloneable templates give most teams a working starting point instead of a blank page
  • Generous free plan (1 agent, 3 automations, 3,000 starter credits) makes it easy to try before paying
  • Unlimited AI agents and automations start as low as the Pro plan, not gated behind Business or Enterprise
Cons
  • Not truly no-code — configuring Actors requires understanding input params, proxies and output schemas
  • Usage-based pricing can get expensive at scale without careful monitoring
  • Steeper learning curve for non-developers than Browse AI or Octoparse
  • Broad all-in-one scope means less specialized depth than a dedicated single-purpose agent or automation platform
  • AI usage runs on a shared monthly credit pool, so heavy always-on agent or automation use can burn through credits faster than expected
  • Team-oriented features (white-label branding, custom domains, admin controls) are locked behind the Business plan and above
  • Autonomous, always-on agent orchestration is reserved for the top-tier Max plan

Apify is a cloud platform for web scraping and automation built around 'Actors' — 6,000+ prebuilt scrapers covering mapping platforms, social media, marketplaces and more — plus the open-source Crawlee SDK for building fully custom crawlers. It handles scheduling, storage, proxies and anti-blocking infrastructure, making it the code-first option for teams that need more control or scale than a no-code point-and-click tool provides.

Read the full Taskade review

Taskade is an all-in-one AI workspace that combines project management (tasks, docs, mind maps) with a full AI Agent Builder and automation layer. Its "TSK-1" intelligence layer lets you assign OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini models per agent, deploy agents with persistent memory and custom tools, publish them publicly or embed them on a website, and connect them to 100+ external services (Stripe, Slack, GitHub, Google Workspace) through durable automation workflows. A library of 150,000+ cloneable community templates covers CRMs, dashboards, client portals and internal tools, so most workflows start from a template rather than a blank page. Plans scale from a free workspace with one AI agent through Pro (unlimited agents and automations, 50,000 monthly credits), Business (multi-agent AI Teams, white-label, admin controls) and Max (autonomous, always-on agent orchestration), with Enterprise adding SSO, bring-your-own-key billing and dedicated support.
