Best for
  • Research and data-extraction agents
  • Teams needing web scraping at scale
  • RAG pipelines needing web content
  • Developers evaluating MCP servers
  • Teams wanting gateway governance
  • Open-source server authors seeking free hosting
Pros
  • One API key unlocks 7,000+ Actors
  • Dynamic discovery: add Actors as tools mid-conversation
  • Strong web scraping and extraction capabilities
  • Open-source server, self-hostable
  • Aligned with current MCP streamable-HTTP spec
  • Very large indexed server catalog
  • In-browser MCP Inspector for safe testing
  • Gateway adds logging, access control, and managed OAuth
  • Bundled unified LLM API across major providers
  • Free hosting for open-source servers
Cons
  • Actor usage (compute units) accrues real cost
  • Heavy scraping runs can get expensive
  • Scraping raises legal/ToS considerations
  • Transport/features change (SSE removed April 2026)
  • Best value requires understanding Apify's pricing model
  • Self-reported scale is hard to independently verify
  • Per-server-instance pricing may surprise some users
  • Hosted-only platform, no self-hosting of Glama itself
  • Crowded, fast-changing registry landscape
  • Third-party server trust remains the user's responsibility
