Payout invoices are generated automatically on the 14th of each month. Review your invoice in the **Settings > Payout** section within one week. If not approved by the 20th, the system will auto-approve on the 21st.

Payout invoices are automatically generated on the 11th of each month, summarizing the profits from all your Actors for the previous month.
229+
In accordance with our [Terms & Conditions](https://apify.com/store-terms-and-conditions), only funds from legitimate users who have already paid are included in the payout invoice.

- [Actor Analytics](https://console.apify.com/actors/development/analytics) (**Actors > Development > Analytics**) for usage statistics
233+
If your PPR or PPE Actor's price doesn't cover its monthly platform usage costs, it will have a negative profit. When this occurs, we automatically set that Actor's profit to $0 for the month. This ensures a single Actor's loss never reduces your total payout.

237+
You have 3 days to review your payout invoice in the **Development >Insights > Payout** section. During this period, you can either approve the invoice or request a revision, which we will process promptly.
238+
If no action is taken, the payout will be automatically approved on the 14th, with funds disbursed shortly after. Payouts require meeting minimum thresholds of either:
239+
240+
- $20 for PayPal
241+
- $100 for other payout methods
242+
243+
If the monthly profit does not meet these thresholds, as per our [Terms & Conditions](https://apify.com/store-terms-and-conditions), the funds will roll over to the next month until the threshold is reached.

245+
## Actor analytics
246+
247+
Monitor your Actors' performance through the [Actor Analytics](https://console.apify.com/actors/insights/analytics) dashboard under **Development > Insights > Analytics**.
248+
249+
The analytics dashboard allows you to select specific Actors and view key metrics aggregated across all user runs:
250+
251+
- Revenue, costs and profit trends over time
252+
- User growth metrics (both paid and free users)
253+
- Cost per 1,000 results to optimize pricing
254+
- Run success rate statistics
255+
- User acquisition funnel analytics
256+
- Shared debug runs from users
257+
258+
All metrics can be exported as JSON for custom analysis and reporting.
