Apify Pricing Benchmark Advisor

Summarize visible public Apify Store event-price distributions for a declared cohort. The Actor uses only GET https://api.apify.com/v2/store. It returns observed percentiles and transparent samples without inferring revenue or willingness to pay.

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

• apify-actor-start: $0.005
• result-found: $0.05

What you get

• Visible event-price observations from a declared public Store cohort.
• Exact min, percentile, median, and maximum statistics.
• Event filtering that excludes synthetic dataset events from benchmark samples.
• One compact dataset report and a replay-safe OUTPUT summary.

How to use

1. Click Try for free and enter a Store cohort query.
2. Choose start, non_start, or all, then set a unique requestId.
3. Start the run and read the observed distribution from the dataset row.

FAQ / Support

Does this infer a profitable price? No. It reports only event prices visibly returned by the Store.

What this is NOT. It is not a revenue model, willingness-to-pay study, or private pricing inspector. Report bugs through the Actor page.

start selects only apify-actor-start; non_start selects custom events and excludes apify-default-dataset-item; all combines those sets. The business envelope is written to KVS key OUTPUT and is replay-safe by requestId.
