What people are saying about Apify
"Never really thought about it, but feel like building scrapers on @apify could be great to get started making money as an indie dev. No standalone SaaS product has to be built, organic distribution is built into their marketplace. You can really focus on building the scraper."
Josef BüttgenCo-Founder @ Setter AI
You take a few hours to build a scraper, and you monetize it for life.
Marco RodriguesPython Developer & Data Scientist
You only need 2 hours of your life to create a steady passive income stream. [...] As a developer, I used to believe that 'real' passive income meant building a SaaS.
Marco RodriguesPython Developer & Data Scientist
Here is the trend of my Apify payouts over the last 15 months (37 actors published). It started simply as a way to publish my automation projects without making the code public, while charging a small usage fee. If I keep shipping in 2026, it could turn into something bigger.
Igor OlaizolaR&D Software Engineer at SALTO Systems
"@apify is such an underrated tool for low code/no code devs… their documentation makes it super easy to build and stack multiple scrapers and easily tie into your workflows making them 1000x more powerful."
Miki FurmanCTO
"How I (a Non-Techy SEO) Built & Deployed My First AI Agent on Apify. If you told me a year ago that I'd be building an AI agent and deploying it live… I'd have laughed. I come from a biology background, work in SEO & marketing, and 'code' was just a word I avoided."
Mishita MaggoSearch Engine Optimization Specialist
"Won the Discord community vote in the Apify $1M challenge! The project that won is a Google Maps AI Reviews Analyzer. It combines scraping and AI analysis in one workflow. One Google Maps input, and you get customer personas, sentiment scores, and SEO insights."
Louis DeconinckCo-Founder Signumi.com
"I never expected my first LinkedIn post to be about winning an award… but here we are. I went into the Apify $1M Challenge Hackathon with zero plans to build anything… and somehow ended up winning Best AI Agent!"
Kiran Kumar Reddy LingalaData Scientist
"THE FUTURE BELONGS TO BUILDERS. I will gladly take the regional prize for the Apify $1M Challenge as a birthday gift. Huge shout-out to the entire Apify crew for building a world-class competition."
Gui StetelleFounder & GTM at Decade Journey
"September was my first profitable month as an Apify Actor dev."
Max Dziura
"I've been publishing actors on Apify and the experience has honestly been great so far. Keep going."
DataVoyant
"I'm surprised Apify store is all scraping bots given you can put anything in a Docker container and charge money per event. I'm planning more non-scrapers."
Mark of Productive Mark LLC
"@apify is single-handedly the best marketing tool you can use nowadays. IYKYK I'm addicted to Apify. Great platform!"

"This year, I'm focused on passive income strategies. Already seeing notable growth on @apify."
Marco RodriguesPython Developer & Data Scientist"Just launched 'Subdomain Discovery Pro' — First security-focused subdomain actor on Apify Store. After noticing there weren't any comprehensive subdomain discovery tools in the store, I built it."
David Thomson
"Just launched: Dataset Cleaner & Formatter is now live on Apify! Super excited to share a new tool I built to support developers, data analysts, agencies, and automation teams."
