Target Audiences

• Developers building data pipelines — scraping is a core part of their workflow, Apify abstracts the infra

• Data analysts automating manual data collection — pre-built Actors for LinkedIn, Google Maps, Amazon, etc.

Earning Potential

Based on Scale plan at $499/mo (30% after ramp-up):

Monthly Referrals	Est. Sales	Monthly Earnings	Year-1 (compounded)
5,000 visitors	2	$299.40	$19,760
20,000 visitors	8	$1,197.60	$79,042
100,000 visitors	40	$5,988.00	$395,208

Assumes 2% CTR, 2% conversion. Recurring compounds. Cap: $2,500/customer.

Why It Converts

Free tier with $5/mo credits lets developers test without risk. Pre-built scrapers for 1,500+ websites mean instant value — no coding needed for common use cases. Once a scraping workflow is running, migration cost is extremely high.

Honest Limitations

• Technical audience only — non-developers won't understand the product
• $2,500 cap per customer limits earnings on enterprise accounts
• 45-day cookie is adequate but not generous for enterprise sales cycles
