Apify is a cloud platform for building, running, and scheduling web scrapers and browser automation (Actors), plus a store of ready-made scrapers for common sites. GTM engineers use it to pull public web data into enrichment and outreach workflows without maintaining scrapers themselves. Plans include prepaid platform usage that covers compute, proxies, and storage; overages on paid plans are billed pay-as-you-go, while unused prepaid usage expires each cycle.
