Pricing

This Actor uses the Pay Per Event model: a flat $0.05 per run (plus a negligible one-time actor-start fee) — not per result. The list is short (currently ~70 locations, delivered in full every run) and changes infrequently, so per-item billing wouldn't make sense here; you pay once for the whole current list.
