Honestly, I think removing fixed monthly rental pricing could reduce my income by up to 80%. Many of my Actors are not used very frequently, but they still require constant maintenance, updates, and fixes when target websites change. The monthly rental model helps cover that ongoing work. If everything moves to per-request pricing, some Actors simply won’t generate enough revenue to justify maintaining them. In that case, developers like me may have to stop maintaining certain Actors, especially niche ones. That would ultimately reduce the variety and quality of Actors available on Apify. It will also affect Apify’s own commission, because if developers earn less, Apify earns less too. I also know there are users who are already happily paying for these Actors monthly. Removing this option completely doesn’t seem like a fair or sustainable decision for the ecosystem.
