# Apify — AI Compare Ninja

> Run web scrapers and AI agents as Actors with usage-based compute, proxy, storage, and transfer billing.

## Overview
- **Category:** Development & Code (Localization, search & APIs)
- **Status:** Active · checked - Cloud platform with Free, Starter, Scale, Business and Enterprise plans. Extra capacity and usage-based costs are separate.
- **Paid from:** $19 / month (Starter (monthly billing))
- **Free access:** Free plan ($5 platform credit per month. Compute, Store Actors, and other resources all draw from the same pool.)

- **Canonical URL:** https://www.aicompare.ninja/en/tool/apify

## What it does
- Cloud platform for Actors: reusable scrapers, browser automations, and AI agents
- Subscriptions include usage credits; overages and extra capacity are separate
- Compute Units, proxy costs, storage, and data transfer billed individually
- Third-party Store Actors available per event or based on actual platform usage
- API and SDK for custom scrapers and agent workflows

## In brief
Apify runs Actors for scraping, browser automation and AI workflows. Subscriptions include usage credits, not a fixed number of scraping runs. Compute, proxies, storage, data transfer and applicable Store Actor events consume credits; extra capacity and overages can add costs.


## Limits
One compute unit is 1 GB of RAM for one hour. Credits cover platform usage and Store Actors; some event-priced Actors charge platform usage separately. Unused credits expire at the end of the billing cycle. Free access is blocked after depletion until the next monthly cycle. Paid plans can incur overages up to the configured spending limit. The terms specify business use.
