Loyaltie helps small business owners turn one-time buyers into loyal members with recurring subscriptions. Fresh bread, lawn care, skincare, tea - Loyaltie automates repeat purchases through memberships that save customers money while giving businesses predictable income and a loyal customer base.
The challenge? Many of these small businesses operate mostly on Instagram with minimal or no websites. To solve this, Loyaltie created a "one-click store generation" system that automatically extracts Instagram posts, profiles, and website content to build fully functional membership platforms.
Making this work at scale required a reliable data extraction solution. That's where Apify came in - powering the automated data collection that feeds Loyaltie's AI models.
The impact was immediate, according to Shimon Moyal, Loyaltie's AI & Data Engineer:
"99% of runs are successful - Apify handles all the maintenance headaches so my team can focus on building the product instead of fixing scrapers."

Membership platforms need current data at scale
When customers onboard with Loyaltie, the platform needs to extract product information quickly and reliably. Instagram-only businesses require scraping the last 12 posts, images, captions, profile details, bio, and links. Existing shops need continuous tracking of prices and product updates to keep the generated platforms in sync. Before Apify, Shimon Moyal built custom scrapers in-house. "It was too much of a hustle," he said. "They'd break often, and maintaining them took too much time." He tried other providers like ScrapingBee, Oxylabs, and BrightData, but found them to be "black boxes - slow, inconsistent, and hard to debug."
99% success rates with zero maintenance
When Loyaltie switched to Apify's Instagram Profile Scraper and E-commerce Scraping Tool, the transformation was immediate. Using the Apify SDK, Shimon runs scrapers for each new shop onboarding, extracting Instagram content and e-commerce data that gets passed through AI models to generate product descriptions, membership options, and platform copy. What used to take hours of manual extraction and platform setup now happens in minutes.
The developer experience made a big difference for Loyaltie: "The SDK is great, the retry logic is super solid, and the documentation works perfectly with AI tools. Even when I need help, support actually answers questions.”Shimon uses Apify's pay-per-result pricing model: "The pay-per-result model is so much better. I only pay for success, which helps me estimate costs upfront and justify the expense to my boss. It's transparent and predictable - that's something we didn't get from other scraping services."
Results:
- 99% success rate on scraping runs
- Fully automated membership platform generation with Instagram data
- Zero maintenance burden for scrapers
- Predictable costs with pay-per-result pricing
- Minutes, not hours, to launch new businesses
"Every time someone asks me about scraping, I tell them: use Apify. I've tried the alternatives, and nothing comes close in terms of reliability and transparency."
