A Google Hotels API or an Apify Store Actor?
Search the Apify Store for “Google Hotels” and dozens of Actors come back, each written and priced by its own author and run on Apify's platform. ScraperCompany is one API with one price list for Google Hotels, OTA rates and flights, and it also publishes Actors in the Store.
Below: how five of the most-used Google Hotels Actors are priced, what a ScraperCompany call costs, and what changes when you move between the two.
Apify figures as of 14 October 2026, from docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store, apify.com/pricing and api.apify.com/v2/store?search=google hotels. Check their site for current terms.
How five Google Hotels Actors are priced
These are the five Actors with the most users among the Store's results for “google hotels”. Each links to its Store page, where the price line is shown, and to its public pricing data, where its events and prices are listed. An Actor start is charged per GB of memory the run uses, at least once. We have not run these Actors, so nothing here says how well they work.
| Actor | Price line on its Store page | Events it charges | Apify platform usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Travel Hotel Prices vittuhy/google-travel-hotel-prices | from $1.00 / 1,000 results | Actor start $0.005; $0.001 per result (pricing data) | Not listed as extra |
| Google Hotels Scraper zerobreak/google-hotels-scraper | from $2.99 / 1,000 results | $0.00499 per result on the Free plan, $0.00299 on the Gold tier (pricing data) | Not listed as extra |
| Google Hotels Scraper martin.forejt/google-hotels-scraper | from $0.10 / 1,000 results | Actor start $0.00005; $0.0001 per result (pricing data) | Paid by you on top of the events |
| Google Hotels Search Scraper johnvc/google-hotels-search-scraper | from $14.00 / 1,000 page processeds | Setup $0.02 once per run; page processed $0.02 on the Free plan, $0.014 on Gold; Actor start $0.00005; $0.00001 per dataset item stored; separate events for autocomplete suggestions, photos and reviews (pricing data) | Not listed as extra |
| Google Hotels Scraper - Multi-Query OTA Price Comparison jy-labs/google-hotels-multi-query-scraper | from $22.50 / 1,000 hotel results | Actor start $0.00005; hotel result $0.025 on the Free plan, $0.0225 on Gold (pricing data) | Paid by you on top of the events |
Read the table as a warning, not a ranking. The unit is a “result” for one Actor, a “page processed” for another and a “hotel result” for a third, so the price lines cannot be compared directly. Where an Actor tiers its prices by Apify plan, its “from” price is the Gold tier, and the Free plan pays more. Some charge a fee per run, and two list Apify platform usage as paid by you on top. Run each Actor on the same small job and read the cost in your Apify console before you choose.
What a ScraperCompany call costs
ScraperCompany publishes one credit cost per endpoint and one price per credit on each plan. A search page holds about 20 properties. There is no start or setup fee, and no platform usage on top.
Pricing. Prices are in US dollars. New accounts get a free trial of 50 calls or 14 days, whichever ends first, no card needed; after it, buy a credit pack or pick a plan. Out of credits returns HTTP 402. The ScraperCompany dollar figures on this page use the monthly plan prices; credit packs cost a little more per credit.
| Call | Credits | Starter | Growth | Scale | Business |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Hotels search page | 4 | $0.0049 | $0.0040 | $0.0032 | $0.0027 |
| Google Hotels property page | 5 | $0.0061 | $0.0050 | $0.0040 | $0.0033 |
| Google Hotels calendar | 8 | $0.0098 | $0.0079 | $0.0064 | $0.0053 |
Plans: Starter $49 for 40,000 credits, Growth $149 for 150,000 credits, Scale $399 for 500,000 credits, Business $999 for 1,500,000 credits a month. Free trial: 50 calls.
ScraperCompany also publishes Google Hotels Actors in the Apify Store: Google Hotels Search Scraper, Google Hotels Price Calendar Scraper and Google Hotels Property Scraper. Those are priced in Apify events on their Store pages, not in the credits above.
What changes between an Actor and an API
| Question | Apify Store Actors | ScraperCompany API |
|---|---|---|
| Who sets the price | Each Actor’s author, as events (a start, a result, a page…) that differ from Actor to Actor | One credit cost per endpoint, and one price per credit on each plan |
| Platform usage | Included in the event price for most pay-per-event Actors; some charge it separately | None: the credits are the whole cost |
| How you call it | Start a run and read its dataset; the synchronous endpoint returns the items but answers 408 if the run exceeds 300 seconds | One request with the result in the response |
| Input and output | Defined by each author, so switching Actors can mean rewriting the integration | One OpenAPI document; the Google Hotels routes use the standard SERP parameter and response names |
| Free allowance | Apify’s Free plan: $5 to spend in the Store or on your own Actors | Free trial: 50 calls over 14 days, no card; then credit packs from $15 for 7,500 credits, valid 12 months |
| More than Google Hotels | Each Actor covers what its author built | OTA rates, official hotel sites, guest reviews and Google Flights on the same key; Google Hotels calendars of up to 330 nights per call (90 by default) |

| What the page says about Apify | Read from | Read on |
|---|---|---|
| Actors in the Store use one of three pricing models: pay per event (the events and their prices are set by the Actor creator and described on each Actor's page), pay per usage, or rental. | docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store | 14 October 2026 |
| Most pay-per-event Actors include platform usage in the event price, but some require you to pay for platform usage separately. | docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store | 14 October 2026 |
| Apify plans: Free at $0 with $5 to spend in the Store or on your own Actors; Starter $19 a month, Scale $199 and Business $999, each with that amount to spend and a Bronze, Silver or Gold Store discount; the Free plan has no Store discount. | apify.com/pricing | 14 October 2026 |
| The Run Actor synchronously and get dataset items endpoint (POST /v2/actors/:actorId/run-sync-get-dataset-items) answers with 408 Request Timeout if the run exceeds 300 seconds. | docs.apify.com/api/v2/act-run-sync-get-dataset-items-post | 14 October 2026 |
| A search of the Store for "google hotels" returned 88 Actors. The five in the table are the five with the most users among them. | api.apify.com/v2/store?search=google hotels | 14 October 2026 |
| The Gold tier price of a tiered Actor is the "from" price on its Store page (for example $2.99 per 1,000 results against $4.99 on the Free plan). | api.apify.com/v2/acts/zerobreak~google-hotels-scraper | 14 October 2026 |

Frequently asked questions
Should I use a Google Hotels API or an Apify Actor?
Use an Actor if you already run on Apify, want one invoice from Apify, or need an output that one author's Actor happens to provide. Use an API if you want one documented schema and one price per call across Google Hotels, OTA rates and flights, and a plain request and response instead of a run. ScraperCompany offers both: the API, and Actors in the Store.
How are Apify Actors priced?
By their authors. Most Google Hotels Actors use pay per event: you pay for events the author defines, such as an Actor start, a result or a page processed, and the prices appear on the Actor's page. Many tier those prices by your Apify plan, and some also pass Apify platform usage on to you. The table on this page shows five of them.
Why are the headline prices so different?
The units differ. One Actor charges per result, another per page processed, another per hotel with OTA prices, and some add a start or setup fee per run. A figure like $0.10 per 1,000 results and one like $22.50 per 1,000 hotel results cannot be compared without running both on the same job.
Can I call an Actor like an API?
Yes. Apify's "Run Actor synchronously and get dataset items" endpoint starts an Actor and returns its dataset in the response, with a 408 if the run exceeds 300 seconds. For longer runs you start a run and read the dataset afterwards. A ScraperCompany call is one request with the result in the response.
Does ScraperCompany publish Actors?
Yes: a search Actor, a price calendar Actor and a property Actor, listed in the Apify Store under scrapercompany. They are priced in Apify events on their Store pages, not in this site's credits. The API on this site costs 4 credits for a search page, $0.0049 on Starter and $0.0032 on Scale.
