💰 Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing

Why Pay-Per-Event?
- Zero Idle Costs: Never pay for browser spin-up time, navigation lags, or idle worker instances.
- Pay Strictly on Success: Charges trigger exclusively when valid items are extracted and pushed to the dataset.
- Budget Protection: Set a Max total charge (USD) limit in Apify Console or API. If your limit is reached, the run terminates safely without overcharges.
