Marketplace vs Managed API

Apify is a platform with a marketplace of community-built scrapers (Actors). You find an Actor for each platform, configure it, and manage the data pipeline. Quality and reliability vary by author.

Scavio is a managed API. Every endpoint is built and maintained by the same team, with consistent JSON output, guaranteed uptime, and native LangChain integration. For AI agents, consistency and reliability matter more than variety.
