Browserbase
Managed cloud browsers plus Search, Fetch, and terminal tools for AI agents and web automation.
About Browserbase
Browserbase provides managed cloud browsers for agents and automation. Teams can use real browsers to navigate sites, complete tasks, collect web data, and handle pages that depend on JavaScript or login sessions. Search and Fetch APIs cover web discovery and retrieval, while the Browse CLI brings browser actions, session controls, cloud APIs, Functions, templates, and skills into terminal workflows. The free tier is useful for prototypes, with 3 concurrent browsers and 1 browser hour. Paid plans add concurrency, browser hours, Agent runs, proxies, and longer retention. Several resources remain metered after the included allowance, so production buyers should estimate browser hours, Search and Fetch traffic, and proxy use. Browserbase suits teams that want to avoid maintaining their own browser fleet. The tradeoffs are recurring cost, possible overage charges, and only 7 days of retention on the Free and Developer tiers.
Best for
Best use cases
Prototype an agent on the free tier before paying for higher concurrency and hours.
Run production browser workflows with persistent sessions, form filling, and captcha handling.
Collect web context through real browsers, Search API, or Fetch API from terminal and cloud workflows.
Compare before choosing
Choose Browserbase over self-hosting when reduced browser infrastructure work justifies recurring and usage charges.
Compare paid tiers by concurrency, browser hours, retention, proxy allowance, and overage rates.
Consider Scale when SSO, HIPAA BAA, DPA, verified agents, or custom capacity is required.
Features
AI agent browsing
Run agents that navigate websites, complete browser tasks, and work through login-based flows on managed browser infrastructure.
Browser workflow automation
Automate repetitive web tasks such as form filling and persistent-session workflows without maintaining a browser fleet.
Web data collection
Use real browsers for JavaScript-heavy pages, authenticated sites, and scraping workflows that may encounter captchas.
Pros
- The free plan lets teams test real browser workflows with 3 concurrent browsers before committing budget.
- Managed browsers and the Browse CLI reduce the operational work of running automation infrastructure.
- Plans expose concrete concurrency, browser-hour, proxy, and retention allowances for capacity planning.
Cons
- Developer and Startup can incur extra browser-hour, API, and proxy charges after included allowances.
- Free and Developer retain data for only 7 days, which can limit longer debugging or audit workflows.
- Advanced controls such as SSO, HIPAA BAA, DPA, and custom capacity require the sales-led Scale plan.
