Browse AI Credits Explained (2026): The 0.1-Credit-Per-Row Math

Direct answer

Browse AI charges 0.1 credit per row of extracted data — so 10 rows cost 1 credit — with a minimum of 1 credit per task (a task is one robot run). Extracting 50 products from a page costs 5 credits; a run that returns only 8 rows still costs the 1-credit minimum. Premium or bot-protected sites cost more per task. Credits don't roll over. The free plan includes 2 monitored websites and 50 credits a month; paid plans start at Personal ($19/month billed annually, 2,000 credits). Verified against Browse AI's help center July 2026.

Evidence used

• The per-row rate, the 1-credit task minimum and the worked examples were read from Browse AI's 'How are credits calculated' help article on Jul 13, 2026.
• Per-plan credit amounts and the free-plan limits come from Browse AI's live pricing page the same day.
• One figure is flagged: the help article's per-plan annual credit totals don't fully reconcile with the pricing page's monthly figures; we use the pricing page.

How we checked this

• We quote Browse AI's own help-center wording and worked examples; the per-plan estimates use the pricing-page monthly figures.
• Browse AI is a content-only partner we cover in research (no bench review), and we earn no commission on this page beyond that coverage.

The per-row math and the 1-credit floor

Browse AI bills 0.1 credit per extracted row, so 10 rows cost 1 credit. Every task has a 1-credit minimum, and a task is a single robot run — one visit to scrape, monitor, extract or screenshot.

Browse AI's help center defines the unit clearly: a task is "a single execution of your robot," and rows bill at 0.1 credit each. Its own worked example: "If you extract a list of 50 products from a single page, the credit calculation is 50 rows × 0.1 credit per row = 5 credits."

The floor is the detail that matters for small, frequent scrapes. Browse AI gives the example directly: "8 rows × 0.1 credit per row = 0.8 credits, since this is below the minimum, you'll use 1 credit." So a robot that returns just a handful of rows still costs a full credit per run — and 20 such runs cost 20 credits, not less. If you're monitoring many pages that each return a little data, the per-task minimum, not the per-row rate, drives your bill.

Premium sites cost more — and burn is unpredictable there

Sites with heavier bot protection cost more credits per task than the standard 0.1-per-row rate, so credit consumption on hard targets is less predictable than the base math suggests.

Browse AI notes that "premium sites cost more to extract, scrape and monitor due to additional bot prevention tactics and site security." The clean 0.1-credit-per-row math holds on standard sites; on protected ones, the same extraction can cost several times more per task.

That's the practical caveat for anyone budgeting a scrape of a big, well-defended target: model your credit burn on a small real run first, because the base rate understates the cost on premium sites. As you move up Browse AI's plans, the cost per credit decreases — the highest tier pays the lowest per-credit rate — so heavy, protected-site workloads are cheaper per unit on larger plans.

What each plan's credits cover, and the free plan

Browse AI's free plan gives 2 monitored websites and 50 credits a month. Paid plans start at Personal ($19/month billed annually) with 2,000 credits and 5 sites; Professional ($69/month annually) gives 5,000 credits and 10 sites. Credits don't roll over.

The free tier is a real evaluation plan: 2 websites and 50 credits a month — enough to wire up and test a robot before paying. Paid plans scale both the credit pool and the number of sites (robots) you can run: Personal at $19/month billed annually includes 2,000 credits, 5 sites and 3 users; Professional at $69/month annually includes 5,000 credits, 10 sites and 10 users; Premium is custom for managed extraction.

Credits are a usage limit within each billing period, not a bank — they don't roll over. So size your plan to your monthly extraction volume rather than hoping to accumulate a buffer.
