What are Actors?

Actors are serverless cloud programs that automate tasks like web scraping, data processing, and AI agents. They're called Actors because, like human actors, they perform actions based on a script.

Reach thousands of new customers

Building and running SaaS is hard. Building an Actor and monetizing it on Apify Store is 10x easier. You can get visitors from day one.

No upfront costs

Publishing your Actor is free of charge - customers pay for computing resources.

Rely on Apify infra

Actors scale automatically as you gain new users. You don’t need to worry about compute, storage, proxies, or authentication.

Billing is on us

Handling payments, taxes, and invoicing can be a painful part of running SaaS. Apify takes care of all that and sends you a net payout every month.

Fuel your development with a Creator plan

For just $1/month, you get $500 of platform usage for the first 6 months, so you can run and test your Actors without compromise.

Customize your pricing model

With pay per event (PPE), developers can charge based on specific events triggered during an Actor’s run - such as starting an Actor, scraping a page, or calling an API.

Our Discord is the perfect place for discussing anything Apify-related. You can talk to other developers, become a freelancer, and even offer custom solutions to customers!

Our ideas page is a great source of inspiration! Users can publish or upvote their ideas until a developer takes ownership and turns the idea into a full-fledged Actor. If you are interested in building one of these Actors, please send us an email to ideas@apify.com, and we’ll reserve it for you.

Apify Store is just like any other marketplace. We believe that competition helps developers thrive and improve upon their code, especially when there are similar scrapers on the horizon! So, you can still build the Actor, but try to get creative when it comes to its set of features.
