Pros and cons

Browser Use

Pros

  • MIT-licensed open-source library with a large community (about 119k GitHub stars per the site).
  • Usage-based pricing with no subscription and credits that never expire.
  • Cloud browsers at $0.02/hour work with existing Playwright and Puppeteer code.
  • Python and TypeScript SDKs plus a REST API.
  • Lists SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and zero data retention options.

Cons

  • Usage-based billing (model cost plus 20%, browser time, proxy traffic) makes monthly costs harder to predict than a flat plan.
  • The free allowance is a one-time $1 credit, and the $5 minimum top-up is needed to unlock every model.
  • Aimed at developers; there is no consumer app and no mobile app found.
  • The site's benchmark figures are vendor-reported and not independently verified.

E2B

Pros

  • Hardware-level isolation through Firecracker microVMs rather than shared-kernel containers.
  • Model- and framework-agnostic, with Python and JavaScript SDKs.
  • Pause, resume and fork of sandboxes (up to 100 forks) suits parallel agent runs and evaluations.
  • Free Hobby tier with $100 in credits and no credit card.
  • Self-hosting and BYOC options for enterprises, plus SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Cons

  • Pro costs $150/month before usage, a large step up from the one-time Hobby credit.
  • No GPU support; sandboxes are limited to 8 vCPUs and 8 GiB RAM.
  • Hobby sessions are capped at 1 hour of continuous runtime.
  • Enterprise carries a stated $3,000/month minimum.
