💰 Pricing: Pay-Per-Event (PPE)

This Actor uses a transparent Pay-Per-Event pricing model. You only pay for the data you actually extract, making it the most cost-effective solution for both small-scale research and massive database exports.

• Price per 1,000 results: $10.00
• Price per single profile: $0.01

Cost Examples:

• 100 Targeted Leads: $1.00
• 1,000 Full Profiles: $10.00
• Full Investor Database (~1,000+): ~$10.00

🛠 Troubleshooting

• Zero Results: Verify that your filter combinations actually exist on the site (e.g., ensure you haven't selected conflicting industries and countries).
• Missing Data: Some companies do not provide full details (like LinkedIn or SDGs). The scraper will return the available data and skip missing fields.
• Large Scrapes: For scraping the entire database, increase your max_results and ensure your Apify account has sufficient compute units.
