Hello I want to use youtube comment scraper actor for large scale application.
Could you perhaps help me calculate the estimated cost for scraping, let's say 10 million comments from multiple youtube videos?
Thanks in advance.

It can be challenging to estimate the resources needed to extract data as use cases may vary significantly. That's why the best course of action is to run a test scrape with a small sample of input data and limited output. You’ll get your price per scrape, which you’ll then have to multiply by the number of scrapes you intend to do.

And don't forget that choosing a higher plan will save you money in the long run.
Hey! 👋
For large-scale use cases you can absolutely use my YouTube Comments Scraper on Apify. It’s optimized for high-volume scraping no YouTube API limits.
Works with multiple video URLs
Unlimited comments + replies
Fast + retry logic to avoid failures
Free to use for now I only need feedback you only pay Apify platform usage
Here’s a simple cost example:
If you scrape 100 video URLs, each with ~500 comments →
That’s about 50,000 comments total.
On Apify, that typically costs just a few dollars of platform usage — depending on your settings.
So scaling from there:
10M comments is totally possible and still cost-efficient.
