Comparison — Mindcase vs Apify
The agent-native alternative to Apify.

Head to head
Mindcase vs Apify, line by line.
ApifyThe details
Where Mindcase pulls ahead.
Agent-native, not SDK-native
Apify ships an SDK for you to read. We ship a skills.md your agent reads — and calls itself.
One API, not 36,000 decisions
Five half-maintained “Amazon scrapers” to vet on Apify. One Amazon agent on Mindcase. We keep it alive.
Analysis-ready, not assembly-required
Apify dumps raw JSON. We return clean, typed records — the same shape on every platform.
Predictable bill, not a compute casino
RAM-hours, per-result fees, proxy gigabytes, expiring credits. Or: pay for the data you get.
Proxies are our problem
Proxies can be 40–60% of an Apify bill. With Mindcase, anti-bot is included and invisible.
It breaks? Already fixed
A broken Actor is your ticket to file. A broken source is ours to fix — before you notice.
Pricing
Apify bills you six ways. We bill you one.
