BrowserAct Credit Burn Rate

BrowserAct bills on credits, not seats, so the unit that decides agency margin is the credit cost of one recurring client run. The Basic plan gives 10,000 monthly credits at $16; Essential gives 50,000 at $70; Advanced gives 100,000 at $96 with 40 simultaneous tasks and up to 50 static proxies. Map each retainer to a run cadence before quoting: a weekly competitor price pull across 20 sites costs a fraction of a daily lead sweep across 200 directories, and the same 100,000 credits can look generous on one client and thin across five. Agencies should log credits per scraper per run for the first month, then price the retainer at two to three times measured consumption so a client adding directories or a second region does not silently eat the margin. When a single client's runs approach the plan ceiling, move that client to its own account rather than upgrading the shared plan.
