💰 How much does it cost to extract emails?

This actor is extremly cost-effective. Check the "Pricing" tab for more details.

With Apify's free tier, you get $5 of platform credits monthly for free, which you can use to test this actor for free.

Do you need to scrape more? Upgrade to a paid plan which includes more platform credits and discounted pricing.

Tip 1: Provide multiple URLs in your input, that way you only pay the actor start cost once.

Tip 2: If you are doing a large run, consider increasing the RAM used per run to scrape faster. When doing a small run decrease the RAM used to reduce the actor start costs.

Tip 3: Upgrade to a higher plan to get discounted pricing. Link: https://apify.com/pricing
