Re:The /unblock API from Browserless: dodging bot detection as a service on Tuesday February 27, 2024 @02:08PM (#39528215)

It's a never ending battle. Lots of tools aren't as sophisticated as they claim to be, and the current mechanisms inject a lot of "other stuff" that can be easily found. We're trying to do this in a more novel way that's faster, less prone to needing frequent updates, and is more akin to how actual users interact with browsers. Definitely work to be done, but it's exciting to see, and I appreciate the good luck!

Agreed, we've seen a lot of governing bodies _now_ start scraping to fight scam sites and "fake" sites, so there's a lot of legitimate use-cases popping up. It's not necessarily just about gathering e-commerce data or backfilling lack of an API anymore.

Yeah, I was going to offer a year of the same price if they switch to annual billing, otherwise the price change is effective immediately

Throwaway here.I run a small saas service (~600 active paid users), and am planning on increasing prices next year. I think I have pricing laid out now, but the last remaining factor is whether or not to wholesale increase the prices for everyone already on the platform, or just new customers and upgrades.Product is developer focused, and prices increase is just under 2x.
