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.
