💰 Pricing & Performance

Transparent Pricing Structure

This actor uses Apify's event-based pricing with three transparent events:

Event	Price	When Charged
apify-actor-start	$0.005	Once per run (initialization)
content-processed	$0.005	Once per image processed
apify-default-dataset-item	$0.001	Once per result saved to dataset

Tier Limits

Feature	FREE Tier	PAID Tier
Images per run	5 images	Unlimited
Concurrent runs	2 max	Unlimited
Processing speed	15-sec cooldown between images	Instant, back-to-back
Address conversion	Included	Included

Pricing Examples

• 1 image: $0.005 (start) + $0.005 (processing) + $0.001 (dataset) = $0.011 total
• 5 images (FREE tier): $0.005 (start) + $0.025 (5×processing) + $0.005 (5×dataset) = $0.035 total
• 10 images: $0.005 (start) + $0.050 (10×processing) + $0.010 (10×dataset) = $0.065 total
• 100 images: $0.005 (start) + $0.500 (100×processing) + $0.100 (100×dataset) = $0.605 total

Great Value: Transparent per-image pricing with affordable base cost. Start with FREE tier (5 images) to test before upgrading.

Processing Speed Explained

PAID Tier: Instant, back-to-back image processing. No delays between runs. FREE Tier: 15-second processing window per image. Perfect for testing and learning.

Why the difference?

• PAID tier gets priority processing on our infrastructure
• FREE tier is rate-limited to prevent abuse and manage server load
• Both tiers deliver the same high-quality EXIF extraction and reverse geocoding

Real-world impact:

• Processing 5 FREE images: ~1 minute total (5 sec per image + 4 × 15-sec cooldowns)
• Processing 5 PAID images: ~30 seconds total (5 sec per image, no delays)

Perfect for:

• Testing: Use FREE tier to verify the actor works for your use case (takes 1-2 minutes for 5 images)
• Production: Upgrade to PAID when you need speed and unlimited processing

Performance Metrics

• Per-image processing: 2-5 seconds (extraction of 50+ EXIF fields)
• Geocoding: +2-3 seconds per image when enabled (optional)
• Accuracy: Works with images from all camera types and smartphones
• Success Rate: 99%+ with images containing EXIF data
