Kavex vs Apify

Apify is a marketplace of 4000+ scrapers; Kavex is a tight bundle of 21 services. Honest comparison on price, complexity, support.

Apify is a marketplace of 4,000+ third-party scrapers. The breadth sounds great until you are the one QA-ing it: Actor quality is uneven, each has its own pricing, and they break the week LinkedIn or Maps shifts a selector — leaving you to debug code you did not write.

Kavex is the opposite bet: 21 services, all built and maintained in-house, one flat per-result price with no compute surprises. You do not evaluate which scraper is reliable this month — you run a query and get results. Pay only when results land.

Pricing summary

Apify: usage-based with platform credits. Each Actor has its own per-unit price (typically $0.20-$5 per 1k results) plus shared compute/proxy costs. Apify Free tier: $5/month in platform credits. Pro starts $49/month. Kavex: flat per-result pricing across all services, no compute charges, no monthly base fee.

Where Kavex wins
  • No compute surprises — every action is priced per result
  • All services tested + maintained by us (Apify Actor quality varies)
  • AI email personalisation and LinkedIn cookie management are first-class
  • Sticky-session proxy + 429 cool-down logic built into every scraper
  • Cheaper for typical B2B leadgen workloads (1-50k results/month)
Where Apify wins
  • Much larger catalog — long-tail niche scrapers we'll never build
  • Custom Actor development — you can write your own and run it on their infra
  • Bigger community + more documentation for edge cases
  • Better for AI-training-data buyers who need novel sources weekly

Pick Kavex if…

You want a polished B2B leadgen workflow without spending hours evaluating which TikTok Actor is reliable. You value bundling: Maps + LinkedIn + emails + AI cold-mail in one place.

Pick Apify if…

You scrape niche, long-tail sources weekly (regional e-commerce, specific government databases, novel platforms) and don't mind QA-ing each Actor.

Frequently asked

Can Kavex run my custom code?

Not yet. The AI Universal Scraper (V1.9) is the closest — describe what you want in natural language and Gemini extracts from any URL.

Why use Kavex over a free Apify Actor?

Because someone has to maintain it. Apify Actors break weekly when LinkedIn/Maps redesigns. Kavex absorbs that maintenance cost into a flat per-result price.
