These events are defined by the developer and can include actions such as generating a single result or starting an Actor.

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.

The PPE pricing model offers a flexible monetization option for Actors on Apify Store. Unlike [pay per result](/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-result), PPE allows you to charge users based on specific events triggered programmatically by your Actor's code.

PPE lets you define pricing for individual events. You can charge for specific events directly from your Actor using the [JS](/sdk/js/reference/class/Actor#charge)/[Python](/sdk/python/reference/class/Actor#charge) SDK, or by calling the [PPE charging API](/api/v2/post-charge-run) directly. Common events include Actor start, dataset item creation, and external API calls.
