What our research says

Browser Use

The MIT-licensed open-source library made the category legible, and the hosted service is the practical way to run it at scale without babysitting Chromium instances; CDP compatibility means existing Playwright or Puppeteer code points at it with a config change. Billing is now pure pay-as-you-go with no subscription, so light users pay cents while heavy proxy traffic or frontier models add up fast.

Pros

MIT-licensed open-source library underneath, so you are not locked into the hosted service
CDP-compatible endpoint works with existing Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium code
No subscription: credits from $5 never expire, and new sign-ups get $1 free
Concurrency starts at 10 sessions and rises automatically with lifetime spend
Models from several providers, or your own key

Cons

Real cost depends on browser-minutes, proxy GB and model tokens, with a 20% fee on tokens
Residential proxy is on by default at $5/GB, which adds up quickly on media-heavy sites
Company founded only in 2024, so its operational track record is short

Do Browser

Do Browser's plain-English control of Chrome is genuinely useful for one-off scraping or form-filling tasks that don't justify writing a script, and letting free-tier users bring their own ChatGPT or Claude subscription is a fair way to try it without extra cost. Once you need it running reliably at volume, though, you're paying $25-100/month on top of whatever AI subscription you already have unless you rely on the hosted-model plans.

Pros

Free tier works with your existing ChatGPT or Claude account instead of forcing a new subscription
Covers a genuinely broad task set: scraping, form filling, email automation, and simple presentations
Natural-language control means no scripting knowledge required to set up a task

Cons

Hosted-model plans ($25-$100/month) are a separate cost layered on top of any AI subscription you already pay for
Limited to Chrome; no Firefox, Safari or Edge-native support mentioned
