Best Plan for Google Maps API
Hello I am working on a project where I am looking for all the self storage facilities in the US that are listed with google. After doing some testing using 4GB of RAM in the job, each town takes about 7 min to run. It would take months of continuous running at this rate to cover the US. Should I just get the Starter package and run it at 4-6 times the RAM? Or should I figure out a way to run jobs in parallel, 2,3,4 at a time?

Hi @ChristopherDeMarchi running the actor in one run with increased memory vs multiple parallel runs with lower memory should result in similar duration. It all comes down to your preferences, you can also use both which would be the fastest option. If you would like to use the parallel approach you can use this Google Maps Orchestrator Actor https://console.apify.com/actors/Uk8ZlE4NVYccUvpHw/console
