MuleRun

Every account gets 500 bonus credits at sign-up and 200 credits a day, issued in batches after 01:00 UTC. Daily credits expire at the end of the day and are spent before any other balance. On Free there is also a monthly cap: once 2,000 free credits have been issued in a month, the daily grant stops until the next month.

Sign-up and referral bonuses are valid for a month and are cleared when they expire. Free adds no monthly plan credits and cannot buy top-ups, so the practical budget is one day’s 200 credits at a time. Plan a trial as small tasks spread across several days rather than one large job.

The pricing page converts $1 to 100 credits but publishes no rate per task. The credits FAQ says consumption depends on the number of tasks, their complexity, processing steps and resources used, so a simple lookup and a multi-step report can differ widely. Any figure such as “X tasks per plan” would be a guess.

Two rules help control spending. Failed requests are not billed, and Settings > Usage lists the reason for every deduction. Background tasks or sessions left open can keep consuming credits, so close finished sessions and check the usage log after the first few runs to learn your own rate.

Paid plans add a personal cloud computer with its own disk, which stays online, keeps files between tasks and is backed up daily. Scheduled tasks, such as a daily news summary or a weekly report, run on that computer and are listed as Plus and above; Free users are sent to an upgrade prompt.

The main differences between paid tiers are machine size, pages and storage, plus the monthly credit pool:

• Plus: 2 cores, 4 GB RAM, 10 hosted pages, 100 GB Drive, 2,000 credits.
• Super: 4 cores, 8 GB RAM, 40 pages, 100 GB Drive, 4,500 credits.
• Pro: 8 cores, 16 GB RAM, 100 pages, 1 TB Drive, 23,000 credits.

The Browser Connector is a Chrome extension that lets the agent open tabs in your local browser and use accounts where you are already signed in, to read pages, fill forms, click buttons and collect data. It works only in desktop Chrome and is installed as an unpacked extension in developer mode, which Chrome flags at every start.

An option called Auto-approve authorization skips the confirmation card before the agent acts. Leave it off, use a separate Chrome profile with only the accounts the task needs, and keep banking, email and admin consoles out of that profile. You can take over any tab the agent is running from the tab group.

The terms describe MuleRun as an application layer over third-party AI models that it does not train or host. The privacy policy says requests, messages and files may be sent to model providers such as Google Gemini or Alibaba Qwen, and that data is generally stored on servers in Singapore, with transfers abroad possible.

You keep ownership of inputs and outputs, but you grant the company and its affiliates a worldwide license to use them to operate and improve the service, including internal research and brand promotion. Keep client data, credentials and unreleased material out of tasks unless that license is acceptable.

Yearly billing lowers Plus from $20 to $16 a month, charged as $192 up front. The billing FAQ says there is no self-service downgrade and no switch between monthly and yearly: you cancel, wait for the period to end, then subscribe again. Upgrades take effect immediately without refunding the rest of the old plan.

Fees are non-refundable except where law requires, and a plan must be cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. A cautious path is Free for a week, then one monthly Plus cycle to learn your credit use, and a yearly plan only after the usage log shows a steady monthly need.

1. Record the credit balance and the time before starting.
2. Upload the CSV and request two slides: regional totals and one chart.
3. Download the PPTX and open it outside MuleRun.
4. Compare every figure with the known totals from the file.
5. Read Settings > Usage and note the credits charged and the listed reasons.

Accept a PPTX that opens, shows totals matching the CSV and cost no more than the daily grant. Reject invented numbers, a deck that will not open or charges with no usage explanation. No credit figure or output quality is reported until the task is run.

For rule-based automations with fixed steps and per-task pricing, compare Zapier, Make and n8n. For AI agents built around business workflows, see Lindy or Gumloop.
