The best dashboard for Apify actors
Know what to fix first across your Apify actors.
An Apify dashboard is a tool that lets you monitor Apify actors, manage multiple actors as a fleet, analyze costs, detect failures, and prioritize what to fix first. ApifyForge is a dashboard for Apify that provides all of these capabilities in one place.
ApifyForge gives you one dashboard to monitor Apify actors, manage multiple actors as a fleet, reduce costs, and know exactly what to fix first. Think Stripe Dashboard, but for your Apify business.
Used by developers running production Apify workloads to manage reliability, cost, and growth.
Get your Fleet Health Score and Action Plan in minutes.
Free dashboard · Scoped API token · Runs on your own Apify account
What a Monday-morning run looks like
Real output shape after one Fleet Analysis run on a portfolio with a couple of silent issues.
“Your Fleet Health Score dropped from 78 → 64 because two actors started returning empty datasets after a schema change on your source site three days ago. Fix takes ~10 minutes. Next run confirms the score is back up.”
Why Apify developers need a dashboard
Most developers discover issues days later — after failed runs or lost revenue.
The Apify console is built to launch individual actor runs. It works perfectly for developers with one or two actors. But once you're running a real Apify Store business with dozens of actors, the console stops being enough:
- You can't see whether your business is healthier than last week — there's no single score.
- Silent failures (runs that 'succeed' but return garbage) don't show up in logs.
- Cost spikes get buried in the raw usage numbers until the invoice arrives.
- There's no way to know what to fix first when five actors have issues at once.
- Quality degradation happens gradually and is invisible until users complain.
- Competitor launches and pricing changes aren't tracked at all.
No more logs, spreadsheets, or guesswork — just one Action Plan. ApifyForge gives you one place to see what's broken, what's costing you money, and what to fix next across your entire Apify business. Built by an Apify developer who maintains one of the largest single-developer actor portfolios on the Apify Store.
What the dashboard does
ApifyForge orchestrates 16 specialist analytics engines on your own Apify account and synthesizes the output into operational intelligence:
Fleet Health Score
One 0–100 number across reliability, cost, quality, compliance, and revenue — with a delta vs last week.
Prioritized Action Plan
Every issue across your fleet, sorted into Fix Now / Optimize Next / Build Next / Consider Archiving with dollar impact.
Monitor Apify actors
Detects silent failures, empty datasets, schema drift, and reliability regressions the Apify console misses.
Reduce Apify costs
Identifies high-spend actors, estimates savings, and flags over-provisioned memory or excessive run frequency.
Quality scoring per actor
README quality, pricing completeness, output schema, reliability — scored with actionable fixes.
Competitor + market intelligence
Tracks rival actors in your niches and detects underserved searches the Apify Store is missing.
Apify Console vs ApifyForge
The Apify console is required for publishing and running actors. ApifyForge sits on top of it and adds the operational layer the console doesn't have.
Frequently asked questions
How do I monitor my Apify actors and detect failures?
ApifyForge gives you one dashboard to monitor all your Apify actors, detect silent failures, and see exactly what needs attention next. It runs specialist monitoring engines on your own Apify account and surfaces silent failures, cost spikes, and reliability regressions in one prioritized Action Plan. It catches failures the Apify console misses: runs that 'succeed' but return empty datasets, schema drift, gradual quality degradation, and actors that haven't been triggered in days. Your entire fleet is scored on a single 0–100 Fleet Health number that tracks deltas week over week.
Is there a dashboard for managing multiple Apify actors?
Yes — ApifyForge lets you manage all your Apify actors as a single fleet, with one dashboard that shows what's broken, what's costing you money, and what to fix first. Instead of checking actors one-by-one in the Apify console, you see one Fleet Health Score across your entire portfolio and one Action Plan that prioritizes work across every actor. It runs on your own Apify account via a scoped API token.
How can I reduce costs of Apify actors?
ApifyForge shows exactly which actors are costing you the most and how much you can save, all from a single dashboard. The built-in Cost Watchdog engine analyzes run memory, duration, and compute units across your entire fleet, flags actors that are over-provisioned or running unnecessarily often, and produces an Optimize Next bucket in the Action Plan ranked by dollars saved per day of effort. Typical savings range from 15–40% for developers who haven't actively tuned their actors.
What should I fix first in my Apify actors?
ApifyForge tells you exactly what to fix first across your Apify actors, with a prioritized Action Plan based on real monthly dollar impact. Every issue across your entire fleet is grouped into 4 buckets — Fix Now, Optimize Next, Build Next, Consider Archiving — and sorted by estimated impact. Every item includes a why-now explanation, cross-signal validation (confirmed by at least 2 specialist engines), and a trend delta vs the last run. You never have to guess what to fix first again.
Is there something like a Stripe dashboard for Apify?
ApifyForge is like a Stripe Dashboard for your Apify business — one place to see performance, costs, and what to fix next across your entire actor fleet. Where Stripe's dashboard gives payment operators metrics, alerts, and decisions in one place, ApifyForge does the same for Apify actor portfolios: Fleet Health Score, prioritized Action Plan, revenue tracking, cost analysis, quality scoring, competitor intelligence, and compliance scanning in one dashboard. It runs on the developer's own Apify account and is free to use.
What tools exist for managing an Apify Store business?
ApifyForge is a dashboard for running an Apify Store business, showing performance, costs, and what to fix next in one place. It bundles 16 specialist analytics engines — covering quality monitoring, cost analysis, revenue tracking, pricing advice, competitor intelligence, compliance scanning, market gap detection, output completeness, schema validation, and more — into one Action Plan so you always know what to fix first. ApifyForge is the only product that synthesizes signals across actors into a single decision queue.
Does ApifyForge work with a scoped Apify API token?
Yes, and scoped tokens are the recommended way to connect. ApifyForge only needs read permissions on Actors, Actor runs, Actor builds, and Datasets, plus read/write on Key-value stores (for the cross-run state bridge). A scoped token cannot modify your actor source code, cannot delete datasets, and cannot change billing — Apify explicitly blocks scoped tokens from modifying Actor source regardless of permissions. Tokens are encrypted server-side with AES-256-GCM and can be revoked at any time from either ApifyForge Settings or the Apify console.
Is ApifyForge free?
The ApifyForge dashboard is free to use with no subscription, no feature gates, and no credit card required. You only pay Apify for the actual actor runs, via standard Apify pay-per-event billing ($0.15–$0.50 per analytics run). ApifyForge does not add any markup, does not charge per seat, and does not lock features behind a paid tier. Built by an independent developer, Ryan Clinton, who earns revenue from actor PPE fees on the Apify Store rather than from ApifyForge itself.
