Contact supportDo I need to code to use Apify?
No, the Actor can be run from the Apify web interface. But it gives you data only: emails, address checks and handling replies have to be built separately.
Why does VibeHunter have fewer settings?
VibeHunter is built for one job: find businesses and email them. So it collects the fields you need for sales and doesn’t let you fine-tune the scraping the way Apify does.
Can I try both for free?
VibeHunter gives you 50 leads once, with no card needed. The Apify Free plan includes $5 of platform usage a month.
Which data does VibeHunter collect?
Name, category, address, phone, website, rating and review count from Google Maps, emails and social profiles from the website, plus a lead grade. The Google Maps scraper page has the details.
Does VibeHunter have an API?
No public API. You work in the dashboard and take the data out as CSV, PDF or Google Sheets on a paid plan.
