Apify is a cloud platform and marketplace of ready-to-run tools that automate web work, such as scraping data, generating leads and monitoring competitors: you run Actors, serverless programs from the Apify Store, by giving them JSON input, and they return results to a dataset or key-value store. The site notes that an Actor is not an AI agent. An account is free with no credit card, and the free plan includes $5 of platform usage a month; when it runs out, access pauses until the next month.

MuleRun is an AI agent platform that performs multi-step tasks rather than only answering questions: per the site, on paid plans its agent runs on a dedicated computer that stays on 24/7, so workflows can run overnight and results can be ready by morning. The agent opens tools, follows multi-step workflows and can use monitoring and alerts to trigger next steps, and results can be delivered to your inbox, Slack or a connected tool. The free plan gives 500 bonus credits at sign-up and 200 bonus credits a day, with limits of 5 deployed pages, 10 GB of storage and 10 concurrent tasks.
