Apify is the only marketplace I've found that works as a true merchant of record for a solo, unincorporated developer — it handles buyer billing, payouts, and support, so I can publish a paid Actor and start earning without building a payments stack myself. The CLI/API deploy flow is fast once you know it, and the Apify Store's internal search actually surfaces a brand-new listing to real buyers on day one, which is rare for any marketplace. Automated QA test-runs published Actors and flags broken ones as "under maintenance" — it caught a failure of mine before users did. Actors expose input/output schemas that AI agents read directly, and the API covers builds, pricing and schedules, so my whole publish pipeline runs from CI.

Revenue and payout data are Console-only — most useful endpoints for reading back earnings, monetization, and payout status simply 404 on the public API, so you're stuck clicking through the dashboard instead of scripting it. Personal-account payout documentation is thin, and some account fields (bio, picture, payout billing info) can only be set through the Console, not the API, which breaks automation workflows that otherwise deploy and price actors end to end via CLI/API.
