fastbrowse: Buy vs Skip (Agency Browser Automation Retainers)

IF your agency sells a repeatable web workflow to clients (competitor price checks, review monitoring, form-driven data extraction) and needs cited, verbatim-backed answers with credentials kept out of model prompts, THEN start on Starter at $29/mo for 5 concurrent runs, 30 day history, named scoped secrets and webhooks, and move to Pro at $199/mo only when you need 25 concurrent runs, 90 day history, session recordings and an audit log. IF you need white-label client reporting or multi-tenant dashboards, DEFER, because neither is documented and the Free tier caps you at 1 run at a time with 7 day history.

fastbrowse: Buy vs Skip (Agency Browser Automation Retainers)

“IF your agency sells a repeatable web workflow to clients (competitor price checks, review monitoring, form-driven data extraction) and needs cited, verbatim-backed answers with credentials kept out of model prompts, THEN start on Starter at $29/mo for 5 concurrent runs, 30 day history, named scoped secrets and webhooks, and move to Pro at $199/mo only when you need 25 concurrent runs, 90 day history, session recordings and an audit log. IF you need white-label client reporting or multi-tenant dashboards, DEFER, because neither is documented and the Free tier caps you at 1 run at a time with 7 day history.”

When is it the right choice?
  • Client work centers on a repeatable web task where the deliverable is a quoted, checkable answer rather than a screenshot or a summary
  • You must keep client logins out of model prompts, which named scoped secrets resolved only on the permitted origin handle by design
  • Delivery runs through Claude Code, Cursor or an MCP client, so the existing MCP server connection saves integration time
  • You want to resell automation as a retainer and need step traces, step count and model cost visible per run to justify the fee
  • Volume justifies the jump past Free: 5 concurrent runs and 30 day history on Starter at $29/mo, or 25 runs and 90 day history on Pro at $199/mo
When should you skip it?
  • The engagement requires white-label branding or multi-tenant client reporting, which fastbrowse does not document
  • Your workflows hinge on irreversible actions at scale and the pause-for-authorization step would stall unattended overnight runs
  • A client needs long retention of run evidence beyond 90 day history, since that is the ceiling on Pro at $199/mo
  • Budget sits under the $0.005 per-run minimum economics or the team cannot absorb medium setup complexity across CLI, Python SDK and JavaScript SDK
  • The task is a one-off lookup rather than a repeatable workflow, so a $2,250 Starter Workflow build with 20h setup never pays back
