App Store review scrapers on Apify compared (2026): price, review limits and features
Apple's own API only returns reviews for apps in your developer account, and its public RSS feed stops at the newest 500 reviews per country, so most teams use a ready-made scraper. These are the most-used App Store review Actors on Apify Store, with their list prices, limits and Apify's public usage and reliability statistics.
