A: Great question! Let me help you understand and calculate.

How Credits Work:
Credits are consumed based on workflow complexity and actions:

Each step (navigate, click, extract) uses credits
More complex workflows = more credits
Simple workflows = fewer credits

Rough estimates:

Simple page scrape: ~10-20 credits
Multi-page navigation: ~20-50 credits
Complex workflows with loops: 50-100+ credits

For Your Amazon Daily Scans:
To calculate what you need:
Step 1: Test a small sample

Run your Amazon scan on 10-20 products
Check credit consumption in your dashboard
This gives you real numbers for your specific workflow

Step 2: Calculate monthly usage
Credits per product × Number of products × Days per month = Total credits needed
Example calculation:

25 credits per product
100 products daily
30 days per month
= 25 × 100 × 30 = 75,000 credits/month
→ Tier 3 (90,000 credits) would fit

Best Approach:

Start with Tier 1 ($69) - Test your actual usage
Run for a week - See real credit consumption
Calculate monthly needs - Based on real data
Upgrade if needed - Can stack licenses or upgrade tiers

Why this works:

Low risk to start ($69)
Real numbers for YOUR specific Amazon workflow
60-day AppSumo guarantee if it doesn't fit

Variables That Affect Credits:
For Amazon specifically:

Product pages only - Lower credits (~15-25 each)
Product + reviews extraction - Medium credits (~30-50 each)
Product + reviews + Q&A - Higher credits (~50-100 each)
Search results + product details - Depends on workflow depth

Our Honest Recommendation:
We can't give you an exact number without knowing your specific workflow, but:
Start small → Test → Calculate → Scale
This is the most accurate way and saves you from over or under-buying.
