Apify, routed
through gottem.
Apify is an actor platform, running programmable scraping jobs on real browser compute in the cloud. gottem routes to its Web Scraper actor for pages that benefit from scriptable browsing, with costs that vary with the compute the actor consumes.
Apify routes, what they cost.
Each row is a routable id in the engine. The price is what gottem bills per successful page on that route. That is gottem's price, not Apify's list price. The full Cost Ladder has every vendor side by side.
| Route | Tier | Per page | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| apify.web_scraper | T9 | $0.050 | 500 cr | actor compute, varies |
When the ladder picks Apify.
apify.web_scraper is a T9 rung: the ladder reaches it for hard pages where actor-driven browsing succeeds and lighter routes don't. Its cost is an estimate (actor compute varies), listed at $0.050 a page in the catalogue.
Pin Apify when you need it.
By default picks the route; pass force_provider when a workflow needs Apify specifically, for parity testing, compliance, or vendor-native options via provider_options.

}'Already pay Apify directly?
Bring your own key. Add your Apify credential once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and routes through your account instead of the pooled key. You pay Apify directly; gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup. See the pricing FAQ for how BYOK billing works.
Questions.
- Is gottem a Apify alternative?
- No. gottem isn't a replacement for Apify. It routes through Apify alongside 13+ other scraping vendors and picks it whenever it's the best fit for the page. If you already use Apify, gottem adds automatic failover, per-domain routing memory, and one response shape on top of it.
- What does Apify cost per page through gottem?
- Apify's route (apify.web_scraper) is listed at $0.050 a page, which is gottem's price for a successful page on that route. Failed attempts bill at the $0.000001 minimum, effectively free.
- Can I run my own Apify actors through gottem?
- gottem routes to the standard Web Scraper actor. For custom actors, bring your Apify key via BYOK and pass actor-specific settings in provider_options.
- Can I bring my own Apify key?
- Yes. Add it once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and gottem routes through your Apify account: you pay Apify directly and gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup.
