Browser flow vs search API

A browser per request is a heavy hammer. If you are reading public SERPs, transcripts, product listings, or forum threads, a dedicated search API is faster and cheaper by an order of magnitude. Save the browser for when you actually need to click a button.

When Critique Flow API might be a better fit

Critique Flow is the right choice when the task genuinely requires a browser — logging into a portal, filling out a form, clicking through a multi-step checkout, downloading a file behind a session. No pure search API can do that.

For search, SERP data, YouTube transcripts, Amazon product data, or Reddit threads, spinning up a full browser per request is overkill. Scavio returns structured JSON in under a second at a fraction of the per-call cost.
