Browse AI credits burn fast: chain robots with workflows, budget for scale
Before scaling on Browse AI: budget credits realistically, 50 free credits disappear fast on daily multi-page scrapes, and use annual billing if you commit (about 35% cheaper than monthly). For complex jobs, chain robots with the workflow feature instead of one giant robot, it handles multi-step collection better and avoids duplicate-run credit burn. And do not plan around fast support responses.
Context: Web (fahimai.com, Browse AI review after scraping 10K+ pages): documents the real plan and workflow limits. Credits run out fast for heavy users, the free plan's 50 credits do not last long when scraping multiple pages daily. Complex multi-step workflows only work partially. Support can be slow to respond. The suggested workaround: use the workflow feature to chain multiple robots together, which handles most complex collection tasks without burning extra credits on duplicate runs.Maintainer review
