💰 Pricing Model & Usage Logic

This actor uses a pay-per-event billing model, where you're charged based on the number of properties you scrape. The pricing is tiered to reward higher volume usage.

Tiered Pricing Structure:

Tier	Usage Range	Price per 1K Properties
Starter	0 - 25K properties	$4.00/1K
Growth	25K - 50K properties	$3.50/1K
Scale	50K - 200K properties	$3.00/1K
Enterprise	200K+ properties	$2.50/1K

📊 Cost Per 1K Units – How Billing Works

The pricing is calculated in batches of 1,000 units. This means:

• Initial Charge: When you start the actor, it reserves and charges you for 1K units (1,000 properties or their equivalent based on multipliers).
• Continuous Usage: You can continue scraping in the same run or across multiple runs. As long as your usage stays within that 1K batch, no additional charges are applied.
• Next Batch: Only when you exhaust the 1K quota, the system charges you for the next 1K batch. This billing cycle repeats for every 1K units consumed.
• Pay-As-You-Go: You only pay for the batches you actually use. If you scrape 1,500 properties in total (across runs), you'll be charged for 2 batches (2K units).

Example Timeline:

1. Start run #1 → Charged for 1K units (can scrape up to 1,000 properties)
2. Scrape 800 properties in run #1 (200 units remaining in current 1K batch)
3. Start run #2 → Use the remaining 200 units + 100 from next 1K batch → Charged for 2nd 1K batch
4. Continue in run #3 → Still within the 2K batch until you exceed it
5. When you exceed 2K total → Automatically charged for 3rd 1K batch

This ensures predictable billing in discrete 1K chunks, making it easier to manage your usage and costs.

Example Cost Calculations:

• Scraping 10,000 properties: 10,000 ÷ 1,000 × $4.00 = $40
• Scraping 30,000 properties: First 25K @ $4/1K = $100, remaining 5K @ $3.5/1K = $17.50 = $117.50
• Scraping 100,000 properties: 25K @ $4 + 25K @ $3.5 + 50K @ $3 = $100 + $87.50 + $150 = $337.50

⚡ Additional Usage Parameters (Multipliers & Penalties)

The actor may apply additional usage multipliers based on your input settings. These do not add to your base cost directly but increase how quickly your monthly quota is consumed.

Feature Multipliers:

• 🧠 Memory Usage: Base memory is 2 GB (2048 MB). If you run the actor with more than 2 GB of memory, you will be charged an additional usage multiplier. For example, running at 4 GB (2 GB above base) will add 1x multiplier, and running at 6 GB (4 GB above base) will add 2x multiplier.

• 🌐 Residential Proxy Usage: If you use a residential proxy, an additional 5x usage multiplier will apply due to the higher cost and complexity of residential proxy traffic.

• 🔄 Monitoring Mode: Enabling monitoringMode adds a 4.0x multiplier, as it requires additional logic and storage for incremental scraping and state tracking.

• 📄 Full Property Details: Enabling fullPropertyDetails adds a 4.0x multiplier. This requires fetching and processing individual property pages for extended information.

Example with Multipliers:

• 5,000 properties with fullPropertyDetails + monitoringMode: 5,000 × (1 + 4.0 + 4.0) = 45,000 units
• Cost: 45,000 ÷ 1,000 × $4.00 = $180

💡 Cost Optimization Tips:

• Base Usage: Run at 2 GB memory (the default and recommended setting) to avoid memory multipliers.
• Batch Operations: Scrape larger batches to reach higher tiers faster, which offers better per-property pricing.
• Selective Monitoring: Use monitoring mode only when you need incremental updates, as it adds a 4.0x multiplier.
• Subscription Requirements: A minimum charge of $1 USD per run is required to maintain your subscription.

❓Limitations

Since Zoopla allows only 1000 properties per listing/search result, you might want to break down your listing urls into smaller area if it has more than 1K results. Good News is that even if multiple list urls contains overlapping results, they will get deduplicated within same run data.
