## Briefing
- Apify: Apify is sunsetting its rental pricing model for Actors, requiring developers to migrate to a pay-per-event model by September 30.

## Why it matters
This pricing shift changes how developers monetize their Actors on the Apify platform, moving from a fixed rental fee to a usage-based model that charges per event. Developers who fail to update their Actors by the deadline risk their Actors becoming non-functional for users, making this a critical operational deadline for the Apify ecosystem.

## Watch next
Will the pay-per-event model lead to higher or lower costs for typical Actor users compared to the rental model?
