Ever wondered how pay-per-event pricing actually works on Apify? This example actor is built to show you exactly that. Instead of getting charged for compute time or memory usage, you only pay for two specific things: the initial start of the actor and for each trivia fact it generates. It's a transparent model that's perfect for low-volume, event-driven tasks where you want costs to directly match output. I use this actor to demonstrate the concept to other developers and to test integration points for systems that should trigger on-demand. The main benefit is cost predictability; you know your bill will be tied directly to the number of "events" (in this case, fun facts) produced, not to how long the code runs in the background. It’s a straightforward, hands-on way to understand a pricing approach that can be more efficient for certain types of micro-tasks or data generation workflows.
