@@ -46,6 +46,28 @@ Monetizing your Actor on the Apify platform involves several key steps:
4646
- Dataset storage: $1 per 1,000 GB-hours
4747
- _Example_: you set a $1 per 1,000 results price. Two users generate 50,000 and 20,000 results, paying $50 and $20, respectively. If platform costs are $5 and $2, your profit is $49.

### Pay-per-event pricing model
50+
51+
- _How it works_: you charge users based on specific events triggered programmatically by your Actor's code. You earn 80% of the revenue minus platform costs.
52+
- _Example_: you set the following events for your Actor:
53+
- `Actor start per 1 GB of memory` at 0.005$
54+
- `Pages scraped` at 0.002$
55+
- `Page opened with residential proxy` at 0.002$ - this is on top of `Pages scraped`
56+
- `Page opened with a browser` at 0.002$ - this is on top of `Pages scraped`
57+
- User A:
58+
- Started the Actor 10 times = 0.05$
59+
- Scraped 1000 pages = 2.00$
60+
- 500 of those were scraped using residential proxy = 1.00$
61+
- 300 of those were scraped using browser = 0.90$
62+
- This comes up to 3.95$ of total revenue
63+
- - User B:
64+
- Started the Actor 5 times = 0.025$
65+
- Scraped 500 pages = 1.00$
66+
- 200 of those were scraped using residential proxy = 0.40$
67+
- 100 of those were scraped using browser = 0.30$
68+
- This comes up to 1.725$ of total revenue
69+
- That means if platform costs are 0.395$ for user A and 0.173$ for user B your profit is 3.972$
