What it costs
| Charged event | Price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Actor Start | $0.01 | Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). |
| Result | $0.003 โ $0.00225 | Single public X profile in the default dataset. |
Per 1,000 rows, by Apify plan
| Plan | Per row | 1,000 rows | 10,000 rows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0.003 | $3.01 | $30.01 |
| Bronze | $0.0027 | $2.71 | $27.01 |
| Silver | $0.0024 | $2.41 | $24.01 |
| Gold | $0.00225 | $2.26 | $22.51 |
| Platinum | $0.00225 | $2.26 | $22.51 |
| Diamond | $0.00225 | $2.26 | $22.51 |
Every total includes the $0.01 start fee once. Apify charges that fee per gigabyte of memory, so a 128 MB run pays it a single time.
When not to use it
- Memory is capped at 256 MB, so a very large job should be split into several narrower runs rather than scaled up.
- 6.0% of public runs in the last 30 days did not succeed, so a production caller needs a retry and a zero-row check rather than trusting the first response.
- The dataset carries 38 fields and nothing else; if your analysis needs a field that is not in the table above, no input setting will add it.
- It reads what is public at run time. There is no archive behind it, so a question about last quarter has to be answered from data you already collected.
