Apify pricing: plans, compute units and Actor fees
Checked Nov 1, 2026 on Apify’s official pages (sources below). Prices change often: confirm with the provider before you buy.
Apify runs “Actors”: ready-made scrapers and automation tools from its store, or your own code. A monthly plan gives you prepaid usage to spend on Actors, and anything beyond it is billed as you go. On top of the plan, each store Actor is priced by its own model.
Figures below are from apify.com/pricing (monthly billing; annual billing is shown there at 10% off).

Paying without an account (x402)
Apify’s pricing FAQ says an agent with a crypto wallet can pay through x402 or MPP with no account: it pays once at agi.apify.com, receives a temporary Apify API token with a fixed spend cap, and each Actor run is metered against that prepaid balance. Unused balance expires with the token. This is a prepaid top-up, not a price per call, so our daily check reads the minimum top-up the 402 quotes.
Apify pricing FAQ
How much does Apify cost per month?
Apify’s paid plans are Starter $19, Scale $199 and Business $999 a month (monthly billing), each including the same amount to spend on Actors, plus pay as you go above that. Enterprise is custom (checked Nov 1, 2026).
What is an Apify compute unit?
One compute unit is 1 GB of RAM running for one hour. It costs $0.2 on Starter, $0.16 on Scale and $0.13 on Business.
Why does the same Actor cost different amounts?
Each store Actor uses one of three pricing models: pay per event (a price per result), pay per usage (compute, proxy and storage) or both. Usage depends on the site, the input and how long the run takes.
Can an AI agent pay Apify in USDC?
Yes, through x402 or MPP at agi.apify.com: the agent buys a prepaid, capped API token with no account, and Actor runs draw from it. Our daily check reads the top-up amount the 402 quotes.
