24/7 support, not a forum

Round-the-clock support from real engineers with guaranteed response times — not a Discord queue or a docs page you search alone at 2am.

📈

99.9% uptime & delivery SLA

Contractual commitments on uptime, freshness and delivery volume, monitored 24/7. If a feed slips, it's our incident, not your fire drill.

🤝

A dedicated team

A named account manager and solutions engineer who know your pipelines, your schema and your roadmap — on speed dial, not a ticket lottery.

🔧

Maintenance under SLA

Sites change and defenses evolve constantly. Our pager goes off, we fix it, and your data keeps flowing — before it ever hits your dashboards.

🔒

Security & compliance

GDPR-aware and compliance-first, with DPA and NDA ready to sign, governed access and audit trails built for procurement and infosec review.

⚙️

Custom sources & scale

New and niche sources built on request and scaled to enterprise volumes — no waiting on a community Actor author to update their code.

The core difference

Apify sells a self-serve platform. TagX delivers a managed service.

Apify gives you a marketplace of Actors and the infrastructure to run them — which still leaves your team choosing tools, monitoring runs, handling failures and owning reliability. TagX is data-as-a-service: we run the entire pipeline under an SLA and hand you the finished, structured dataset.

01

You brief, we scope

Share the sources, fields, volume, cadence and SLA targets you need. No Actors to search, configure or test — we design the pipeline around your requirements.

02

We build, run & monitor

Our team owns crawling, proxies, anti-bot handling, orchestration and 24/7 monitoring. There are no runs for you to babysit and no failed jobs to chase.

03

We QA & guarantee

Every record is validated, de-duplicated and mapped to your schema — backed by delivery, freshness and quality SLAs, not the variable quality of a community Actor.

04

You receive the data

Delivered on your schedule as JSON, CSV, Parquet, a REST API or into S3, BigQuery or Snowflake — with a named team accountable for every drop.

FAQ's

Apify is a self-serve platform with a marketplace of Actors (pre-built scrapers) that you configure, run, scale and monitor yourself. TagX is a fully managed Data-as-a-Service: you brief us on the sources and fields you need and we deliver the finished, structured dataset. With TagX there are no Actors to pick or run, and reliability, maintenance and support are covered by an SLA rather than left to your team.

Yes. TagX includes 24/7 support with guaranteed response times, contractual uptime and delivery SLAs (targeting 99.9%), and a dedicated account manager plus solutions engineer as standard — not as a paid add-on. When a site changes or a defense tightens, our team fixes it under SLA before it affects your data, so support and reliability are our responsibility, not your team's.

Yes. Instead of selecting Actors from a marketplace, configuring proxies and monitoring runs, you tell TagX what data you need and we run the entire pipeline — crawling, anti-bot handling, extraction, QA and delivery — on our own infrastructure. You never touch an Actor, a run or a failed job; you simply receive clean, structured data on your schedule.

Apify typically combines platform usage credits (compute units) with monthly Actor rental fees and proxy costs, which can be hard to forecast as volume grows. TagX uses predictable, outcome-based contract pricing per dataset, feed or project, so you pay for the data you receive rather than for compute, runs and rentals. Most enterprises find this far easier to budget and approve.

TagX does. Site layout changes, new anti-bot defenses and shifting volumes are our responsibility under SLA. With a self-serve Actor platform, a broken Actor means your run fails and you either fix it or wait for the community author to update it. With TagX, our team monitors pipelines 24/7 and fixes breakages before they reach your dashboards.

Yes. TagX collects only publicly available data and operates as a compliance-aware managed service, with GDPR-aware processes, a DPA and NDA available on request, governed access and audit trails. We work directly with infosec and procurement teams to meet enterprise data-governance and vendor-review requirements.

Yes. TagX delivers via REST API or straight into your own destination — Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, BigQuery, Snowflake or Redshift — in JSON, CSV, Parquet or NDJSON, mapped to your schema. Pipelines are built and scaled to enterprise volumes with historical backfill plus ongoing scheduled or near real-time feeds.
