TinyFish goes free, hits 100k users in 10 days, but revenue trails its $1.6M credits

- TinyFish made AI search and web reading free in August: first 100k users took 4 months, the second 100k took 18 days, the third just 10 days.
- Free tier helps AI read the web; paid tier helps AI log in, act, and complete tasks — a "become the standard first" strategy.
- Concerns: SDK downloads sit around 70k, over 100x behind Firecrawl, and estimated monthly revenue from its pricing page doesn't cover the $1.6M in credits given away.
- Data from TinyFish's official blog/pricing page and npm/PyPI; video uses AI-synthesized voice and visuals.
