Billing

Unit: per_search · unmatched results billed: no
Priced per search; the Apify route adds a per-place amount scaling with limit (default 20). The exact quote is reserved before execution. If the provider's actual cost overruns the estimate, the run bills the overrun at the same per-call rate, capped by the hold.

The exact quote is returned by /v1/inspect before every call and held with headroom on execution. The quote is the price floor: if the provider's actual cost overruns it, the run bills the overrun at the same rate, never above the hold. The unused part of every hold is released.
