| A note from the stack: Apify is a marketplace of ready-made scrapers. Handy, but the actors get pricey at volume. So we prototype with the paid actor to learn the site, then rewrite the hot path in plain Playwright that we host ourselves. Now the daily scrape runs on our own machine at zero marginal cost, while Apify stays the fast lane for one-off jobs. The move: take the actor you run most and rebuild it once in Playwright. | |
