## How to read an Apify Store price

### How this list was made

The 15 Actors above are the first 15 of the Top 100 in Apify Store's popularity ranking on Nov 12, 2026, which favors recent usage and quality. Each price was read the same day from the Actor's own pricing tab. Apify Store lists more than 118,000 Actors, and each developer sets the price of their own.

### The plan sets the price of the same result

Most Store prices drop on higher plans, and the "from" price on an Actor's page is the Business plan rate, at $999 a month. On the Free plan, with its $5 of usage a month, Google Search Results Scraper costs $4.50 per 1,000 result pages where Business pays $1.80, and YouTube Scraper $4 per 1,000 videos where Business pays $2.40. SpecStream has one rate card for every account: $1 per 1,000 fast searches, $0.80 per 1,000 pages and 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row. The full plan by plan view is on [Apify pricing](https://specstream.ai/apify-pricing?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=apify-store-pricing).

### Pay per event, and pay per usage

13 of the 15 Actors are paid per event: a fixed price for each result, place or video, set by the developer, with add-ons such as a filter or a contact lookup charged per result on top. Website Content Crawler and Web Scraper are free to run and bill platform usage instead, at $0.13 to $0.20 a compute unit, so the price of 1,000 pages moves with memory, run time and retries. SpecStream charges $0.0008 for each page read with text, and nothing for a page with none.

### A result scraped is not a row that fits

An Actor bills each result it scrapes, whether or not it meets the condition you care about. At $1.50 per 1,000 places, 1,000 places cost $1.50, and sorting out the ones that fit is your work. On SpecStream you write the conditions every row must meet, such as a rating, a size or whether a business books online on its own site. A result that fails one is not delivered and not billed, and each value carries its source URL and read time. A row costs more than a scraped result, and the sorting is done.

### The call, before and after

```
# Before: run the Google Search Results Scraper, then read its dataset
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(APIFY_TOKEN)
run = client.actor("apify/google-search-scraper").call(
    run_input={"queries": "web scraping api pricing", "maxPagesPerQuery": 1}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    for result in item.get("organicResults", []):
        print(result["url"], result["title"])

# After: one call to the SpecStream Search API
import requests

reply = requests.get(
    "https://api.specstream.ai/v1/web-search",
    params={"q": "web scraping api pricing", "speed": "fast"},
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SPECSTREAM_KEY}"},
    timeout=30,
).json()["data"]
for source in reply["sources"]:
    print(source["url"], source["title"])
```

There is no run to wait for and no dataset to read. The call returns up to 10 results for $0.001, and a call that finds nothing costs nothing. More on the [Search API](https://specstream.ai/search-api?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=apify-store-pricing) page.

### Scored on the official benchmarks

SpecStream's search API scores 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 official SimpleQA Verified questions (978 correct), and 64.0 item F1 and 43.4 row F1 on all 200 official WideSearch tasks. The Extract API scores 0.908 F1 on WCXB. Every score and its method is on the [benchmarks](https://specstream.ai/benchmarks?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=apify-store-pricing) page.

## What other data platforms cost

### SpecStream

The live web data engine for teams and agents. One request in plain words returns structured rows from the live web at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row, under a maximum you approve before the run. The Search API costs from $1 per 1,000 searches and the Extract API $0.80 per 1,000 pages.

### Bright Data

Scraper API at $1.50 per 1,000 records pay as you go and $1.30 beyond the volume of its Scale plan, with 5,000 free credits a month. SpecStream returns structured rows for any request you describe, at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row. The full comparison is on [Bright Data vs Apify](https://specstream.ai/compare/bright-data-vs-apify?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=apify-store-pricing).

### Outscraper

A Google Maps scraper with no monthly fee: the first 500 businesses are free, then $3 per 1,000, and $1 per 1,000 above 100,000. On SpecStream the place and its contact come on one row, and only places that meet every condition are billed.

### Firecrawl

Hobby at $19 a month for 5,000 credits, and 1 credit is 1 page on a basic scrape. SpecStream answers Firecrawl's scrape call at `https://api.specstream.ai/firecrawl` for $0.80 per 1,000 pages.

## How to move a Store job to SpecStream

1. Create a key under Agents & API in the workspace. A new account gets $10 of credit, no card, which covers 12,500 pages or 10,000 fast searches.

2. For Google results, send the query to `GET https://api.specstream.ai/v1/web-search` with `q` and `speed=fast`, at $1 per 1,000 searches. The call is above.

3. For page text, send the URLs you give an Actor's `startUrls` today to `POST https://api.specstream.ai/v1/extract`, up to 20 a call, with the key as a Bearer token, at $0.80 per 1,000 pages.

4. For places, profiles, leads or jobs, write the data you want in plain words. This call spends nothing: the `402` reply shows how SpecStream read the request, the columns and the most it can cost.

```
curl -i https://api.specstream.ai/v1/agent/lists \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"request": "Independent coffee roasters in California rated 4.5 or higher on Google Maps, with the website, the owner and a work email", "count": 25}'
```

Approve that maximum by card through Stripe's Link agent wallet, or in USDC on Base, Arbitrum or Polygon, and you pay for the rows found. On an account, your agent uses the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp` and your team uses the workspace, from the same balance.
