Apify Retires Flat Monthly Actor Rentals on October 1, Forcing Developers Onto Pay-Per-Event
Apify stopped accepting new rental Actors on April 1 and fully retires the rental model on October 1, 2026, after which unmigrated Actors move to pay-per-usage and their developers earn nothing. The replacement is pay-per-event, where the developer defines billable events such as producing a result, uploading a file or starting a run. Apify's stated reason is that event billing suits agent consumption better than a flat monthly fee, which makes this one marketplace deleting subscriptions outright rather than adding a usage tier alongside them.
