Before running

Clear boundaries and costs.

Are these tools free to run?

Each Actor has its own current Apify pricing, often pay-per-event. Apify may provide promotional or Free-plan usage credits, but Actor usage is not unlimited free. Open the live Pricing tab and set a spending limit before starting.

Do these Actors access password-protected stores?

No. The highlighted tools are intended for permitted public websites and supported HTML metadata, not private storefront inventory, authenticated pages or checkout systems.

Does the price monitor send alerts automatically?

No. It exposes change fields in the dataset. Scheduling, email alerts or external notifications require separate configuration.

Will a JavaScript-only page work?

Not necessarily. The listed tools primarily use public static HTML or structured metadata. Check each Actor's README, supported sources and examples.
