Pros and cons

Browserbase

Pros

  • Free tier with 3 concurrent browsers and a low-cost $20/month Developer plan with 100 browser hours.
  • Works with Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium, so existing scripts can move to cloud browsers.
  • Live view, logs and session replay help debug agent runs.
  • Bundles browsers, Search, Fetch, Functions and a Model Gateway in one platform.
  • Lists SOC 2 Type II infrastructure and HIPAA (BAA) on the Scale plan.

Cons

  • Costs scale with usage: browser hours, proxies, search and fetch calls are billed separately beyond plan allowances.
  • The Free plan has only 1 browser hour and 15-minute sessions, so it suits testing rather than real workloads.
  • Aimed at developers; there is no consumer app and no mobile app was found.
  • Advanced stealth, HIPAA and SSO are tied to the custom-priced Scale plan.

Cursor

Pros

  • Familiar VS Code-based editor with extension and keybinding support
  • Local and cloud agents that can run in parallel on multi-file tasks
  • Choice of models from several providers, including Cursor's own
  • Covers editor, CLI, web, Slack, iOS and PR review in one product
  • Privacy mode and SOC 2 and ISO certifications for team use

Cons

  • Third-party model usage is billed separately from the plan at API list price
  • Pricing is bundled with Grok and uses weekly usage pools, which makes costs harder to predict
  • No Android app, and the iOS app only controls local agents
  • Indexing can be heavy on very large repositories
