swiftyQ: Hello, I didn't bought the deal from here, I got it from your own sale, I have the gold plan, and I have a few questions.
So essentially we have 2 types of credits
1 automation credits which are used for scraping alone?
2 premium credits, which are used to perform premium operations on the APIs?
So as I understand automation credits can be used only for scraping recipes? And premium credits have to be bought separately, and there is no premium credits that are renewing every month.
Before I bought the plan on sale, somehow I managed to convince myself that 4 automation credits can be converted into one premium credit, but is probably wrong.
So essentially, you only getting lots of scraping power with 10,000 credits, but no premium credits.
I understand, your generous with what you build on your own, but you're not giving away anything that requires for you to pay extra yourselves.
Credit system in general is very confusing, because I have no idea how much 1 credit means unless you have a table that describes credit usage for each premium automation.
How I supposed to optimally calculate the costs based on a credit system?
credits in general,, in this scenario is very tricky measuring tool for the cost.
90% of this platform appeal is based on premium credits, which we are getting absolute 0 of.
So basically as I understand, in this deal you're getting pretty much a scraping engine but not the automation engine. Am I wrong?
Can you elaborate on my comments above?
Thanks
