## Things to know
- The subscription price is prepaid platform usage; compute, proxy and storage are drawn from it and extra usage is billed as overage on paid plans.
- Compute is billed by RAM-time whether or not a page succeeds, so failed attempts cost money.
- Pages per compute unit are not published as a price. Apify's own Website Content Crawler README reports roughly 0.8 CU per 1,000 pages over raw HTTP and 2-20 CU per 1,000 pages with a headless browser; the cost engine uses these as labelled assumptions.
- Annual billing is 10% off; exact annual prices were not verifiable in the static page.
- Store Actors can instead be priced per event/result by their developers; not modelled here.
- Free-plan concurrency conflicts between the pricing page (5) and the limits doc (25).
