Apify Google Search Results Scraper
This is a marketplace actor, not a SERP API subscription, so the buyer pays twice: an Apify platform plan and the actor's pay-per-event charges drawn against that plan's usage allowance. The base event is one scraped Google Search results page, plus a $0.001 flat fee for every run started, so many short runs cost meaningfully more than one batched run. Effective price is $4.50/1K pages on the free plan and falls to $1.80/1K only once you are on the $999/month Business plan; the advertised 'from $1.80' is that Gold-tier rate, not the entry rate. Everything beyond plain organic results is a separate add-on event, and the AI-engine add-ons (AI Mode, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) cost $0.20 each on the free tier, roughly 44x the base page. includedUnits is null on every plan because Apify includes a dollar allowance, not a call count. The spend that unlocks the Platinum and Diamond actor rates is not published.

Every published plan
| Plan | Price | Included searchs | Overage each | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 per month | - | $0.0045 | $5/month of platform usage, no credit card. Actor rate $0.0045 per scraped search results page ($4.50/1K) plus $0.001 per run start. Rented actors are trial-only on this plan. |
| Starter | $19.00 per month | - | $0.0025 | $19/month of included platform usage, and the Bronze Store discount tier. Actor rate $0.0025 per page ($2.50/1K) plus $0.001 per run start. |
| Scale | $199 per month | - | $0.0019 | $199/month of included platform usage, and the Silver Store discount tier. Actor rate $0.00195 per page ($1.95/1K) plus $0.001 per run start. |
| Business | $999 per month | - | $0.0018 | $999/month of included platform usage, and the Gold Store discount tier. Actor rate $0.0018 per page ($1.80/1K) plus $0.001 per run start. This is the 'from $1.80 / 1,000 scraped search result pages' figure the store listing advertises. |
| Enterprise | on request | - | $0.0015 | Apify does not list a price for tiers above Business. The actor's own price table still publishes Platinum at $0.0015 per page ($1.50/1K) and Diamond at $0.0012 per page ($1.20/1K), with a $0.00075 and $0.0006 run-start fee, but the pricing page names only Bronze, Silver and Gold, so the spend that unlocks Platinum or Diamond is not public. overagePerUnitUsd here is the published Platinum page rate; monthlyUsd is null because no plan price is listed. |
The actor charges per event, and the base event is search-page-scraped, one page of Google Search results. Add-ons are billed on top of that base page and are priced here as multiples of the Free-tier base of $0.0045: Google AI Overview $0.003 (0.67x), Google AI Mode $0.20 on Free and $0.005 on Bronze, paid results (ads) extraction $0.0065 (1.44x), full website page scraped $0.008 (1.78x), business leads enrichment $0.10 on Free and $0.005 on Bronze, email verification $0.10 on Free and $0.004 on Bronze, and Perplexity, ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini search each $0.20 on Free. Every run also pays an actor-start fee of $0.001 ($0.00075 Platinum, $0.0006 Diamond). This actor covers Google web search only; maps, news, images, shopping and Bing are separate Apify actors with their own prices, so they are null here.
