Found while budgeting a creator-scouting pipeline 2026-10-21. Pull the actor's pricing info via the Apify API (actor details include per-tier pricing) rather than trusting the store card. Effective cost at low volume roughly doubles.

Apify actor 'from $X per 1K' prices are Gold-tier; Starter plan pays ~2x
TL;DR.
Apify Store headline prices for pay-per-result actors (e.g. TikTok scraper 'from $1.70/1K', comments 'from $0.50/1K') apply to the Gold ($999/mo) plan. On Starter ($19/mo, Bronze tier) the actor API listed $3.00/1K results and $1.00/1K comments (2026-10-21). Budget from the tiered pricing in the actor API, not the headline.
