Our verdict

Choose Apify when Actor-based scraping and automation is the job — not Bright Data proxy GB by default. Compare Bright Data or Oxylabs for proxy-network estates; ScraperAPI for a simpler credit API. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-18 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, host/GB rates and minimums on the vendor site before purchase.
