Apify combines a low-barrier free plan with 77,000+ ready-to-use Actors and MCP integration for AI agents, making it ideal for developers and AI teams who need web data without building from scratch.
Apify combines a monthly subscription with metered usage. Each plan includes prepaid usage equal to its price: $5 on Free, $19 on Starter, $199 on Scale and $999 on Business. Unused credit expires at the end of the cycle. Once you pass it, usage is billed per compute unit at $0.20 on Free and Starter, $0.16 on Scale and $0.13 on Business. Annual billing takes 10% off the paid plans.
The Free plan costs $0, needs no credit card and gives $5 of usage per month with access to 77,000+ Actors, 5 concurrent runs, 1 GB Actor RAM and community support only. The entry plan, Starter at $19 per month, adds chat support, 32 concurrent runs, 16 GB Actor RAM and a Bronze Apify Store discount. Enterprise is custom-priced through sales. Apify also lists a Startups program with $500 of free usage for 6 months.
