How ApifyForge compares actors

ApifyForge sources all comparison data from the Apify Store API. Live metrics are pulled for every actor listed, and side-by-side rankings are computed automatically.

  • Metrics tracked: success rate (succeeded vs. failed runs over 30 days), total runs, active user count, pay-per-event pricing, and run volume trends.
  • Update cadence: scores are refreshed automatically, so numbers reflect recent Apify platform activity.
  • Limitations: comparisons reflect publicly available Apify Store metrics only. Actual performance may vary by use case, input complexity, proxy configuration, and target site behavior. Running your own test jobs before committing to a workflow is recommended.
