126126
Each user running your Actor belongs to a specific Apify Store discount tier, namely `FREE`, `BRONZE`, `SILVER`, or `GOLD` tier.

When setting pricing for a PPE/PPR Actor, you can define different prices for different tiers. While optional, we strongly recommend offering progressively lower prices for higher discount tiers to attract large enterprise customers who may spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on your Actor.

While we don't recommend setting very high prices for free users by default, because it limits the users' ability to evaluate your Actor, we understand that sometimes it's necessary to protect you from fraud or excessive use of your internal APIs, in which case setting a high price for free users might be justified.

During an Actor run, you can access the user's discount tier through run environment variables or by querying user data via our API. This allows you to potentially provide premium services to users in higher discount tiers.

Apart from these standard tiers listed above, there are further tiers reserved for enterprise customers, such as `PLATINUM` and `DIAMOND`. If you are interested in providing enterprise level services and attracting large customers, please reach out to us.
