Pricing

This actor uses Apify's pay-per-usage model. Costs depend on the number of pages crawled and your Apify plan:

Resource	Approximate Cost
1,000 product pages	~$0.01 (computed usage units)
10,000 product pages	~$0.10
50,000 product pages	~$0.50

The actor uses CheerioCrawler (no headless browser), which means lower resource consumption and lower cost per page compared to browser-based scrapers. Residential proxies (recommended for best results) are billed separately based on your proxy plan.

Start for free on Apify's FREE plan — no credit card required.
