Browser Use
The 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. The economics are metered all the way down, so a plan price tells you very little about your real bill.
Pros
- Open-source Python library underneath, so you are not locked into the hosted service
- CDP-compatible endpoint works with existing Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium code
- Residential proxies across 195-plus countries and stealth handling built in
- Session persistence, structured outputs, workflow replay and human oversight checkpoints
- Free tier of 10 agent tasks a month for evaluation
Cons
- Subscription price is a credit float, not included usage — real cost depends on browser-hours, proxy GB and model tokens
- Proxy egress at $5/GB adds up quickly on media-heavy sites
- Company founded only in 2024, so operational track record is short
- Free tier's 3 concurrent sessions rules out any real throughput test
