For developers
Turn your existing Actors into predictable recurring revenue.
Bytewells lets large-scale customers rent your Apify Actors by the month or for short-term, high-volume scraping jobs—without paying per row.
Reach large-scale customers and agents
Data teams, agencies and SaaS platforms running scheduled scrapes want a fixed monthly line item, not a per-row meter. AI agents want an hour or a day, and buy passes through the API on their own. Bytewells sells to both.
No exclusivity
Keep your Apify listing, pricing and users exactly as they are. Bytewells is an extra sales channel for the same Actor, not a migration.
Keep 90%*
Platform commission is 10%, against 20% on Apify, and 0% on customers you refer. Stripe's card and billing fees pass through at cost, so a typical $17.50 rental nets about 85%. The same split applies to every rental and pass charge. Payouts go out monthly through Stripe once your balance reaches $50.
Set your own tier prices
Next to your monthly price, optionally offer Flash (1 hour), Burst (24 hours) and Sprint (7 days) passes. Pay-per-use charges cap at the next tier, and over a capped window you earn the same as if the tier were bought outright.
Source stays private
Your private key stays in the bw CLI. Source is encrypted before upload—we store ciphertext, not a readable repo. Renters run your built image only.
One-command import
bw import apify ports source, README, input schema and pricing from your Apify Actor, then builds and lists it. The Apify SDK and apify-client work unchanged, so one codebase ships to both stores.
Two channels, one Actor
Same Actor, two storefronts—each platform matches a different buyer and pricing model.
