FAQs
Can I try Apify for free?

What happens if I exceed my prepaid platform usage?
If you are a paying user, you can continue using the platform and will be charged for overage. If you are on the free plan, your access will be blocked until the next billing cycle begins. Unused credits do not roll over.
