💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

This actor operates on a pay-as-you-go Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing model. You only pay for what you extract:

Event Name	Purpose	Price (USD)	Description
apify-default-dataset-item	result	$0.0009	Single result in the default dataset.
additional-data	Additional data	$0.0005	Charged for Additional data
apify-actor-start	Actor Start	$0.007	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
