FAQs
Can I try Apify for free?
Yes, Apify offers a free plan that allows you to use most platform features with certain limits, and no credit card is required. This includes Apify Proxy for in-platform use. You can also request a free demo for custom solutions.
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.
Does Apify offer discounts for universities, nonprofits, or startups?
Yes, Apify provides discounts. Students get 30% off Starter and Scale plans, nonprofits can receive personalized discounts, and startups are eligible for a special 30% discount on the Scale plan to encourage growth.
How does Apify's 'pay as you go' work?
For paid plans, you can continue using the platform beyond your prepaid usage limit, and the excess will be charged as overage. This means you don't need to upgrade your plan immediately to handle temporary spikes in usage.
