Apify Hub is a public leaderboard and analytics platform for the Apify Store, ranking over 10,000 actors by runs and estimated revenue to help developers and buyers find top-performing web scraping and automation tools.
What is Apify Hub?
Apify Hub is a discovery layer that turns the public Apify Store into actionable insights. It inputs the store's public actor data (pricing models, run counts, user counts) and outputs daily-updated rankings, revenue estimates (net of Apify's 80/20 cut), growth trends, and category benchmarks. The platform indexes 30+ categories and ranks over 100,000 keywords. Apify Hub is maintained by the Apify Hub team and is independent from Apify's own analytics SDK.

How does Apify Hub work?
Apify Hub aggregates public data from the Apify Store—actor pricing models, run counts, and user counts—without using any private analytics SDK events. It applies Apify's standard 80/20 creator/platform revenue split to estimate net earnings. Rankings are updated daily, and trend arrows (▲/▼) reflect 30-day changes. The platform does not collect or use your SDK analytics.

FAQ
Is Apify Hub free?
Yes, the public leaderboard is free to browse. Premium features like saved benchmarks and historical exports require a paid subscription.
How are revenue estimates calculated?
Estimates combine each actor's public pricing model (pay-per-result, pay-per-event, rental, or flat fee) with run and user counts, then apply Apify's 80/20 creator/platform split. All estimates are explicitly net of Apify's cut.
Does Apify Hub use my analytics SDK events?
No, never. The runs your actors report through the analytics SDK are private to your dashboard and are used only for your own analytics. Public revenue estimates are derived purely from public Apify Store data.
What categories are available?
Apify Hub indexes over 30 categories, including Growth, Platforms, and many others, with keyword rankings for over 100,000 terms.
