When a site changes, an Actor stops working until someone updates it. Jsonify repairs the extraction on its own, checks a sample and keeps your schedule. Your client gets the report on time, and you only hear about it in the run history. Describe the data you need [See pricing](https://www.jsonify.com/migrate/apify/#pricing) Your first 100 rows each month are free. Put them next to what Apify gives you and decide for yourself. No credit card.

You see the fix in the run history. * **Cleaning rows before a client sees them.**Duplicates, blanks and half-loaded pages are caught before delivery. Each row keeps its source page and collection time. * **Hunting for an Actor that still works.**Describe the job once, across every site you need. There’s no marketplace to search and no publisher to wait on. * **Padding client quotes for compute.**You pay per row delivered, so you can quote a client a fixed price and keep your margin.

If ours are the ones you’d rather send a client, put the job on a schedule. Here’s the Actor I run every morning: apify.com/apify/e-commerce-scraping-tool. 800 products across two retailers, exported to Sheets. **Jsonify**I’ll collect the same 800 products from both retailers every day at 06:00, with price, promotion and stock. Here are the first rows to check against your export: | Product | Retailer | Price | Stock | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Oat drink 1L | Greenway | £2.20 | In stock | | Oat drink 1L | Hartwell’s | £2.40 | In stock | | Coffee beans 250g | Fresco | £4.80 | Low | Illustrative example. ## When a site changes, here’s what happens. * **18m 46s[\[1\]](https://www.jsonify.com/migrate/apify/#mg-note-1)**Median time from a failed run to a verified repair * **$0**Charged for the failed run, the retries or the repair * **6,178[\[2\]](https://www.jsonify.com/migrate/apify/#mg-note-2)**Websites and apps Jsonify has already learned, so most jobs start from a known site \[1\] Median, failed run to verified repair, all pipelines, trailing 30 days, last updated Sept 2026. \[2\] Sources Jsonify has learned from websites and apps it has already collected from. ## Cheaper than Apify month after month. Apify bills for compute, proxies and the Actor itself, and every retry adds to it. Jsonify charges one rate for each row that passes its checks and reaches you. Failed runs, retries and repairs are on us, so a month where a site misbehaves costs the same as a quiet one. Free to compare $0/ month 100 rows every month, free. Enough to check a job against your current data. Above that, [per-row pricing](https://www.jsonify.com/pricing) applies, with a $49 monthly minimum. * Setup and previews are free * Retries and repairs are free * No compute, proxy or credit charges ## Questions before you try it.

There’s no code to write or maintain. How do I compare it with what I have now? Paste the Actor link, attach an export, or describe the job in a sentence. Jsonify sets up the same job and collects rows from the same sites. The first 100 rows each month are free, so you can open them next to your Apify export before you pay anything. How does pricing compare to Apify? You pay for rows that reach your dataset. Nothing else. No compute units, proxy fees or Actor rental, and failed runs, retries and repairs cost $0. So a month when a site changes costs the same as a quiet one, and you can quote clients without padding for surprises. Start with 100 free rows a month and see what your job costs. [See pricing →](https://www.jsonify.com/pricing) What if Jsonify breaks too? Sites change, and sometimes a run fails. When it does, Jsonify repairs the extraction and checks a sample before the next run. The median time from a failed run to a verified repair is under 20 minutes, you aren’t charged for any of it, and every fix shows in the run history. Will it work on my clients’ sites? Jsonify works with public websites and apps, and the free rows show you what it can collect before you pay anything. You can connect your own account to some sources, but not social media profiles, and not for personal contact details.

You can also share a dashboard link with a client, or work with the data in Claude, ChatGPT or Codex. [See how to connect →](https://www.jsonify.com/connect) What if I need more than self-serve?
