Decision
Decline Apify’s Enterprise plan upgrade and 12-month commitment. Stay on the current plan. Michael to Christos Stamopoulos (Apify), Oct 12: “We’re going to pass for now.”
Context
Apify approached Ben in September saying our spend had outgrown the Scale plan. On the Sep 24 call they offered Enterprise with a 12-month commitment and 15-20% lower actor pricing (see Apify: Enterprise Upgrade Call - Ben Attended on Behalf of Michael). Ben deferred to Michael. Apify followed up again Oct 12 with a new meeting invite.
Options considered
- Upgrade to Enterprise: modest monthly savings at current volume, but locks in a 12-month commitment. Rejected for now; the savings case was narrow and the lock-in was the main risk.
- Stay on current plan: chosen. Keeps spend flexible.
Consequences
No change to Apify billing. Revisit only if Apify spend grows materially or a larger prepay discount appears. Financial detail lives in Owner tier.
