💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Exclusion record (exclusion-record)	$0.05	Per debarment / suspension record extracted
Screening match (screening-match)	$0.05	Per vendor name screened against exclusion list (fuzzy-match enabled)

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.
