Sitemap Extractor & Broken Link Checker vs Sitemap Extractor on Apify: price, usage and output compared

Both actors are on the Apify Store and aim at the same job. This page puts their public Store numbers side by side. We build the first one, so treat our own claims with that in mind; every figure below is read from the public Store data on 2026-10-14 and will drift.

Side by side

What the publisher says it does

Ours: Sitemap extractor that never fails on a bad file: nested indexes, .gz, .txt, lastmod, priority, images, hreflang. New: status-check toggle (404/redirect/noindex), depth limit, new-since-last-run monitor. Partial results, not errors. $0.001 per file or link checked.

apify: This Apify Actor extracts all URLs from a website's sitemaps and checks their status codes via lightweight HTTP requests. It provides a clean list of valid links, acting as an ideal pre-processor to ensure your larger crawling projects target only active URLs.

How to choose

• Sitemap Extractor has more users on the Store today (388 against our 2), which is a fair reason to look at it first.
• Run each one on the same small input and compare the datasets you get back. That is the only reliable test of output quality, and it costs cents.
• Our output columns, types and a real sample are on the schema page. For Sitemap Extractor, use the sample and output tab on its own listing.
