Cloud platform for web scraping and browser automation built around Actors, which are programs that run on Apify's infrastructure and save structured results. Includes a store of ready-made Actors, proxies and an MCP server.
Apify runs Actors, cloud programs that take JSON input and write structured output to datasets or key-value stores. Users can run ready-made Actors from the Apify Store, a marketplace mostly of independently built tools each with its own pricing and documentation, or deploy their own.
Typical uses listed by the vendor include lead generation, market research and collecting data for AI training. Apify Proxy offers different IP addresses, including ones in specific locations, to reduce blocking, and a hosted MCP server lets AI assistants find and run Actors.
Subscription plans include platform usage credit equal to the plan price, which does not roll over. Store Actors can carry their own separate charges.

To evaluate a software free plan, first decide whether it is a permanent plan, a time-limited trial or a credit grant; then convert its caps into your expected usage, check seat limits, find out what happens when you exceed a limit, review history retention and export, read the terms of use, map security features to tiers and price the first paid tier. This guide applies those steps to free plans recorded from official pages on 24 October 2026, including Firecrawl, Apify, Zapier, Supabase, Vercel, Notion, GitHub Copilot and Cursor.
