Apify: a weekly competitor watch without writing code

Verdict: Use Apify if you check competitors’ reviews, prices or websites by hand every week. A ready-made Apify tool collects the data on a schedule. Claude or ChatGPT turns it into a one-page summary. The free plan is enough for a few competitors.

How we assessed this: vendor documentation and published pricing. Not hands-on tested.
