Unsustainable Price Increase

Closed

Datamindr opened this issue

Hey, my organisation is using the clockworks/tiktok-scraper actor extensively for the last few months. You have made recent changes to the pricing model, which I need your help with.

So far, a run on this actor with 100 results cost us somewhere between 0.005-0.02 cents. With your recent price change, this is now up to 0.4 cents. This is at best a price increase of 1900% and at worst 7900%.

A price increase like this is simply not justifiable and has to be a mistake. Here is no way we can continue operating your actor with a price increase anywhere near this, and will be forced to move away from your scraper.

I highly employ you to revisit and ideally revoke the recent price changes. I have seen multiple other issues raised on this topic; it simply cannot be in your favor to have all your customers run away over this.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear. I will have my colleague to get in touch with you to find a better solution.

We generally try to keep the average price over all customers, some use cases are more resource efficient than others. We'll look into it and contact you soon!

Our team has the same issue, what was costing us $30 a day before is now costing around $200, this is completely unsustainable and we will need to move to another platform soon if this is not changed

Dear WVE and Datamindr teams, Thank you for your patience!

I have sent separate emails to both of you with clarifications and the next steps to help streamline the transition process. Please don’t hesitate to reply via a new email conversation or reach out to me directly at ivan@apify.com.

I hope the proposed solution in my email works for you.
