⚠️ Apify PPE Pricing Model Chaos
Purpose of this post:
This post is not a feature request or complaint. Its purpose is to seek clarity from the Apify team and invite input from the developer community regarding the confusion around the PPE (Pay Per Event) billing model.
I’d like Apify to clearly state what’s allowed and what’s not allowed when it comes to PPE billing practices, so that developers can align their actors accordingly and avoid policy violations.
Recently, after a discussion with @Saurav Jain , I was informed that my current PPE charging method is considered unfair and against Apify’s policy — and that action might be taken on my actor.
Hence, I’m outlining the key issues here to get clarification, so that:
• PPE billing can be updated correctly, and
• Other developers can learn from this discussion until it’s officially documented and published.
I’ve thoroughly read:
Apify Docs - Best practices for PPE actors
However, this article only provides recommendations, not clear policies defining what is or isn’t allowed.
