The last point is just ridiculous. If you use the product for a few minutes it’s clear to see where value-adds exist such as scheduling, alerts, delegating, and having a real team to help with issues, etc.

I experience your take thus as quite cynical and missing the bigger picture.

I'm someone who regularly scrapes websites and uses bs4 to format the data. Admittedly it takes me some time to get what I want exactly, but the past year ChatGPT has _drastically_ sped up the creation of my scripts. Given that I am your target audience, why would I pay a pretty steep 39USD for something I can do myself in 30 minutes - and without limits? There is a high correlation between scraping websites and being tech-savvy enough to produce a (simple) script to do so. The only reason I'd consider buying your product is if I have to do this so often that it would save me the time of writing ONLY the bs4 part of my scraping script (which is often the easy part; websites are awfully incoherent and buggy), but that would only happen if I wanted to scrape vastly more than 25k "lines in a csv" (which is what I assume 1 credit gives you, but is never explained).

How long have you been in business? What size is your "real" team?
