💰 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).
Release (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.1	SEC litigation release record (release #, defendants, action type, source URL).
Add-on: Full release text (addon-full-release-text)	$0.05	Append the complete parsed text of each SEC litigation release. Opt-in (include_full_text). Charge fires per release delivered with full te…

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 × $0.1 = $10.00 plus the start fee.
