How is ApifyForge priced?
By Ryan Clinton · Updated Mar 1, 2026
ApifyForge has no platform fee, no subscription, and no premium tiers. Each actor is individually priced via Apify pay-per-event — see each actor's Apify Store listing for its current per-event price. Every run is billed by Apify directly on your own Apify account, not through ApifyForge.
Each tool page in ApifyForge displays the exact cost breakdown before you run anything. You trigger every run manually; nothing runs in the background or on a schedule unless you configure one yourself in Apify. You control all costs.
ApifyForge does not monetize your data, display ads, or sell premium features. The same tools available on day one are the same tools used by developers managing 320+ actor portfolios. ApifyForge helps Apify developers build better actors, earn more PPE revenue, and manage larger fleets without paying a subscription on top of Apify.
To get started, you need an Apify account with an API token. According to Apify's pricing page, the free tier includes $5 of monthly platform credits, 10 GB of data transfer, and 7-day data retention with full API access — enough to explore ApifyForge and run your first tests.
