Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay only for useful results saved to your dataset. Empty runs cost nothing, and there are no subscriptions.

The optional form-summary event is currently held behind a publisher-only rollout guard. It will activate only after its exact event is configured in Apify Console and the required price-notice period has elapsed. Once live, the Actor applies exactly one custom charge to each emitted form summary and stops at the run billing limit. Raw Stats Export never calls this custom event.
