Pricing summary

Apify has a permanent free plan with a small prepaid platform usage allotment each month (billed in compute units), with no credit card required. Paid plans—Starter, Scale, and Business prepaid monthly budgets—are prepaid usage budgets that also allow pay-as-you-go overage, and enterprise pricing is custom. Usage draws down compute units, proxy bandwidth, storage operations, and Actor fees. Confirm live details on the official pricing page.

• 67,000+ ready-made Actors

  The Apify Store lists ready-to-run scrapers for social media, e-commerce, maps, and more—run one with a few clicks or via API.

• Build your own Actors

  Write serverless scraping and automation programs in Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript, and let Apify handle running, scaling, and storage.

• Anti-blocking built in

  Residential, datacenter, and SERP proxies, CAPTCHA solving, and JavaScript rendering handle the most common reasons scrapers get blocked.

• Scheduling and cloud storage

  Schedule recurring runs and keep extracted data in organized cloud datasets, ready to export or pull through the API.

• API, SDKs, and integrations

  Plug Apify into existing tools through its full API, Python and JavaScript SDKs, integrations, and webhooks.

• Data for AI agents

  An MCP server and structured outputs make it easy to give AI agents and RAG pipelines live web data from any Actor.

1. 1

   Find an Actor

   Search the Apify Store for the site or data you need—a scraper usually already exists for popular targets.

2. 2

   Run it with input

   Provide the URLs or search terms the Actor expects, then start the run from the UI or the API.

3. 3

   Check the dataset

   Review the structured results in the cloud dataset, filter fields, and export to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

4. 4

   Schedule recurring runs

   Set a schedule so the Actor collects fresh data daily or weekly without manual restarts.

5. 5

   Build a custom Actor

   When no ready-made Actor fits, scaffold one with Crawlee or an SDK and deploy it to the cloud.

6. 6

   Feed your stack

   Pull data through the API, push it with webhooks or integrations, or connect the MCP server to an AI agent.

• Developers

  Ship scrapers and automation without managing crawling infrastructure, proxies, or servers.

• Data and analytics teams

  Collect product catalogs, prices, reviews, and market data on a reliable schedule.

• AI builders

  Feed models, agents, and RAG pipelines real-time web data from trusted Actors.

• Marketers and researchers

  Monitor competitors, track listings and sentiment, and gather leads at scale.
