Choose the run and output contract.
Apify runs purpose-built or custom Actors and saves their output in datasets. CleanedWeb's bounded local builder accepts a versioned collection API only after reviewed source, field, pagination, and fresh build checks. Hosted customer availability still needs separate acceptance.
Apify Store Actors may charge per event or platform usage, including compute, transfer, storage, and proxies. CleanedWeb advertises a prepaid record rate; checkout acceptance is pending. Compare a specific Actor and collection on the same requested records, then inspect failures and total usage. Apify pricing, checked October 1, 2026 ↗
