## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## SaaS Pricing Page Change Tracker

Extract pricing, packaging, trial, and limit signals from SaaS pricing pages without noisy page dumps.

### Who Uses It

SaaS founders, RevOps teams, pricing analysts, agencies, and competitive intelligence teams.

### Why It Is Useful

This actor does not save a generic web-scrape dump. It saves a compact dataset shaped around one business job, so the output is easier to review, export, and plug into research workflows.

### Input

- `startUrls` - Public pages to inspect.
- `logLines` - Pasted snippets for fast tests or sources that do not need crawling.
- `maxPagesPerStartUrl` - Same-domain pages to inspect from each URL.
- `maxResults` - Maximum clean rows to save, capped at 20.
- `proxyConfiguration` - Optional Apify proxy settings.

### Output Fields

- `vendorPlan` - Detected pricing plan or tier.
- `listedPrice` - Visible price or pricing mention.
- `billingCadence` - Monthly, yearly, or another billing clue.
- `buyerSegment` - Likely target buyer segment for the tier.
- `trialSignal` - Whether free plan or trial language appears.
- `planLimit` - Seat, user, project, credit, or workspace limit.
- `packagingSignal` - Important packaging sentence from the pricing text.
- `pricingPage` - Pricing page used as the source.

### Example Output

```json
{
    "vendorPlan": "Business plan",
    "listedPrice": "$99/month",
    "billingCadence": "monthly",
    "buyerSegment": "business",
    "trialSignal": "yes",
    "planLimit": "25 seats",
    "packagingSignal": "Priority support and reporting are bundled in this tier.",
    "pricingPage": "https://example.com/pricing"
}
```

### Use Cases

- Monitor competitor plan packaging.
- Build simple pricing comparison tables.
- Spot free trial, seat limit, and enterprise-positioning changes.

### Limits

The actor works best with public pages or focused pasted snippets. Login walls, CAPTCHA, heavy anti-bot protection, and very noisy pages can reduce result quality.

### Pricing

Recommended pricing is paid per saved dataset item, so users pay for useful rows instead of empty page visits.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Add SaaS pricing pages or paste pricing-plan snippets.

## `logLines` (type: `array`):

Add SaaS pricing pages or paste pricing-plan snippets.

## `maxPagesPerStartUrl` (type: `integer`):

How many same-domain pages to inspect from each start URL.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum clean rows to save. Capped at 20 to keep outputs focused.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional Apify proxy settings. Most public pages work without proxy.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.notion.com/pricing"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://www.canva.com/pricing"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("seeb/saas-pricing-page-change-tracker").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
