Manta Business Directory Scraper

actor-start

Charged once when the Actor begins a run. Bumped 0.01 -> 0.05 (2026-08-31) when the engine switched from curl-cffi to Camoufox — a real-browser run costs materially more compute than the old HTTP-only engine did.

result

Charged for each business listing row written to the dataset. MEASURED 2026-08-31 on a 120-row cloud run on build 0.1.4 (RESIDENTIAL confirmed from billing via scripts/os/run_usage.py): ~$0.76 per 1,000 rows of platform cost against $1.25 per 1,000 gross here, i.e. ~$1.00 net after Apify's 20% share. Measured on a 120-row run rather than a QA fixture because tiny runs inflate cost/1,000 by up to 50x (reference-actor-cost-measurement). The actor-start fee matters more than it looks: at the previous $0.01 a 25-row run billed $0.04 against ~$0.05 of cost, i.e. below cost, which is why the fleet-standard $0.05 start applies here.
