 ## Monetization of Actors with the Standby mode?
 
-Currently, the Standby mode is in beta, and monetization is not supported. But we plan to enable it soon.
+You can monetize Standby Actors just like any other Actor. For best results with Standby workflows, use pay-per-event monetization model.
+When monetizing your Actor in Standby mode using pay per event mode, you are not responsible for covering the platform usage costs of your users' runs. Users will need to cover both the platform usage costs (paid to Apify) and event costs (paid to you).

+#### Some Actors declare that I still need to pay for usage, how come?
+
+When an Actor operates in [Standby mode](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/standby), you control how the background runs scale and how efficiently they are utilized. In this case, you are responsible for paying the platform usage costs of these runs in addition to the event charges. Some selected Standby Actors may have this usage component waived, so always check the pricing page of the specific Actor to determine whether you will be charged for usage or only for events.

 #### Where do I see how much I was charged for the pay per result Actors?
 
 Similarly to pay per result Actors, you can see how much you have been charged on your invoices, and on the [Usage tab](https://console.apify.com/billing) of the Billing section in the Console.
