3. Set country/language, and turn on includeReviews with maxReviewsPerApp if you want reviews.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing:

Event	Price
Per app scraped	$0.002 ($2 / 1,000 apps)
Per review scraped	$0.001 ($1 / 1,000 reviews)

Reviews are charged only when includeReviews is on. You are only charged for data actually returned. Apify platform usage is billed separately by Apify.

Use cases

• App Store Optimization (ASO) - track keyword rankings and competitor metadata
• Review monitoring - watch sentiment and respond to user feedback
• Market research - analyze categories, pricing, and install trends
• App intelligence - build cross-store datasets (pairs with an App Store scraper)

Tips

• App IDs are the package name in a Play URL (...details?id=com.whatsapp).
• Use country/language to localize results and reviews.
• Turn on includeReviews and set maxReviewsPerApp for review datasets.
