Cost math

Priced at $0.0050 per result. 10 results ≈ $0.05, 100 ≈ $0.50, 1,000 ≈ $5.00. The first runs land inside Apify's $5/mo free-tier credit — pay only for what you extract, no monthly subscription.

Who Should Use This

CRM enrichment teams bulk-enrich prospect lists with headcount, industry, and HQ location from LinkedIn at a fraction of the cost of dedicated data providers. Sales teams doing ICP scoring filter a prospect list by company size range or industry vertical before outreach, removing the manual lookup step entirely. Market researchers map competitive landscapes by pulling all companies in a niche along with their specialties and follower counts. HR and people teams track headcount changes over time as a hiring or growth signal. The optional includeEmployees mode adds name and LinkedIn URL for key contacts filtered by job title, making this actor a two-in-one company enrichment and contact-discovery tool.
