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.

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.
