Airtop vs Hyperbrowser

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors. Airtop starts at $29, Hyperbrowser at $0.00. Only Airtop has a free tier. Both ship a public API.

What our research says

Airtop

Most browser-agent tooling falls over the moment a site needs a login; Airtop is built around that case, with a credential vault, proxies and CAPTCHA handling as first-class features. Compiling a plain-English description into deterministic code rather than replaying clicks is the right architectural bet for anything that has to run daily. The credit model is the blind spot — four published tiers, no published definition of a credit.

Pros

  • Authenticated browsing with a built-in password vault, proxies and CAPTCHA handling
  • Plain-English workflows compile to reusable deterministic code rather than brittle recordings
  • REST and GraphQL APIs, webhooks, plus n8n, Make, Zapier, Claude and Codex integrations
  • Up to 100 concurrent cloud sessions, with SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance claimed

Cons

  • Credit consumption is never defined on the pricing page, so tier sizing is guesswork
  • The step from Starter to Professional is $29 to $189 a month with nothing between
  • The SOC 2 Type 2 report is only offered on the $558/month Enterprise tier
  • No legal entity name is published; the privacy policy lists only a San Jose mail-drop address

Hyperbrowser

Hyperbrowser is infrastructure and is priced like it: a published per-unit rate card rather than a plan you have to guess at. Sessions, scraping endpoints and agent runners share one credit balance, which makes cost modelling straightforward until proxies enter the picture - proxy data at $10 a gigabyte will dominate any scraping bill. The subscription tiers are the one thing the site would not show us.

Pros

  • Full per-unit price list published in the docs, down to $0.001 a page
  • Connects with Playwright, Puppeteer or Selenium, so existing scripts move over unchanged
  • Stealth mode, proxy routing, multi-region sessions, static IPs, profiles and recordings are built in
  • Agent runners (HyperAgent, Browser Use, OpenAI computer-use) bill through the same credit balance

Cons

  • Proxy data at $10 per GB can dwarf every other line on the invoice
  • Directly purchased credits expire after 12 months
  • Subscription plan prices render in the browser and did not appear to a plain fetch
  • No company name, country or team is published on the site

Which one fits

Choose Airtop if you need

  • Teams whose automations must operate behind a login or a paywall
  • Agent builders who want a hosted browser instead of running headless Chrome themselves
  • Operations and marketing staff using the n8n, Make or Zapier connectors rather than code

Choose Hyperbrowser if you need

  • Running browser agents at scale without managing a browser fleet
  • Scraping sites that need stealth, proxy rotation or persistent logged-in profiles
  • Teams already on Playwright or Puppeteer who want a remote target
