What are "units"?
A "Unit" is a block of browser time of up to 30s. Over 90% of sessions use one unit, but longer running automations may use more than one.
Units are also how we charge for using our residential proxy, at a rate of 6 units per MB. For captcha solving, we charge 10 units per successful solve (CloudFlare is free)
Do you offer discounts?
If you're working on a proof of concept or an MVP and need more units, drop us a message. We give out discounts or free extra credits on a case-by-base basis.
Still have questions?
Absolutely! If you still have open questions, feel free to reach out to support@browserless.io and we will be happy to answer any questions for you.
Unit-based plans allow users to subscribe to a plan that covers the number of Units they intend to use in a month. Unit-based plans run on a shared fleet in San Francisco, California and London, England. You can see more about the shared fleet here.
A Unit is any time a browser is started with our API/library and is used for up to 30 seconds. A new Unit is charged every 30 seconds of a running Session. All Sessions are cut off after 15-minutes to avoid charges for errors.
If you happen to go over your subscription amount, then overage fees are charged per Unit at the specified overage rate for any paid plans. Free plans will actively reject incoming requests after the threshold is met. Any overage fees are billed whenever overages reach the dollar amount of the subscription the customer is on, when changing plans, or at the end of the month if the billing threshold is not reached.
For billing clarity, your invoice will have separate line items for the subscription and any overages. We will send you an email notice anytime you start accumulating overage charges, which happens at most once an hour.
Yes! Once you change plans we reset your billing cycle to the time of the change and charge for the full amount of the plan you're moving to. Any overages are also charged at that time. Feel free to see what the cost is on your account page.
