Stop paying compute units — switch to Xooriq's shared-cache architecture
Apify charges $0.40 per compute unit. Each actor burns 0.5-3 CU per 1,000 pages. Xooriq's shared-cache PostgreSQL costs $0.0006 per query — that's 666× cheaper marginal cost. And we maintain the scrapers, not you.
Apify vs Xooriq: real cost comparison (10K leads/month)
| Cost component | Apify | Xooriq |
|---|---|---|
| Plan base | Starter $49/mo | Scale $99/mo flat |
| Compute units (extra) | ~$200 (500 CU × $0.40) | $0 (cache included) |
| Proxy residencial | $50/mo (Bright Data) | $0 (sources are public) |
| Storage | $30/mo | $0 (included) |
| Engineer maintenance | 20h/mo × $75 = $1,500 | $0 (we maintain) |
| TOTAL monthly | ~$1,799 | $99 |
| TOTAL annual | ~$21,588 | $1,188 |
18× cheaper total cost migrating from Apify Starter (with realistic engineering overhead) to Xooriq Scale.
Why shared-cache beats per-CU billing
- 1 crawl serves N customers — when 100 customers query CNPJ 12.345.678/0001-90, we crawl it ONCE and cache. Apify charges each customer separately.
- Marginal cost approaches zero — at scale, our cost is $0.0006 per query. Yours is the same regardless of team size.
- We absorb the maintenance burden — Receita Federal HTML changes? We fix it for everyone. Apify community actors break monthly; you maintain them.
- Pre-curated 13.3M companies — instant query, no crawl wait. Apify makes you crawl from scratch.
- Native MCP — Claude/ChatGPT/Cursor query directly. Apify needs community wrappers.
