Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: May 2026
Our Commitment to Transparency
Use-Apify.com is an independent website dedicated to providing honest, practical information about web scraping, automation, and AI data tools. We are not owned, operated, or endorsed by any of the platforms we cover.
This site earns revenue through affiliate programs. When you click a referral link and sign up or make a purchase, we may receive a commission — at no extra cost to you. This disclosure explains exactly how that works.

How It Works
- We include referral links to products and services throughout our guides, tutorials, and comparisons
- If you click a link and then sign up, subscribe, or make a purchase, we may earn a commission
- The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or navigate directly
- Attribution is tracked via cookies with windows that vary by program (typically 30–90 days)
- Each affiliate program has its own terms, commission rates, and payout conditions — consult the official terms of each program for specifics
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not determine what we write or how we rate tools. Our editorial process:
- Test-first: We use the tools we cover on real projects before recommending them
- Honest: We describe limitations and failure cases, not just upsides
- Balanced: When a competitor is better suited for a task, we say so — including when that means steering away from a higher-commission option
- Source-verified: Pricing and feature claims are checked against official documentation, not taken from marketing copy
We earn our primary affiliate revenue from Apify. This gives us financial incentive to write thorough, accurate Apify content — not to inflate its capabilities or suppress alternatives. Misleading guides drive away the readers this site depends on.
What Your Support Funds
Commission revenue from affiliate links goes toward:
- Hosting and infrastructure costs
- Time spent researching, testing, and writing guides
- Keeping all content free and publicly accessible
- Creating new tutorials and updating existing ones as tools change
