Free-plan limit

Apify does not pay actor developers for usage on free accounts, so free-plan runs cost us proxy bandwidth with no revenue to cover it. To keep the actor sustainable at this price:

• Free Apify plan — 20 queries per 24 hours. The run stops at the cap and logs a warning; everything fetched up to that point is still written to the dataset.
• Any paid Apify plan — no limit. Nothing to configure; the platform tells us your plan.
• The cap counts per Apify user across all of your runs, so starting a new run does not reset it. The window resets 24 hours after your first query.

Need higher volume without an Apify subscription? Get an API key at serp.cheap and call the API directly.

Tips

• Use timeFilter — filter by last hour, day or week for fresher results
• Use page — paginate beyond the first 10 results for deeper coverage
