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.

Groq

Pros

  • Listed speeds of about 280 to 1,000 tokens per second on hosted models
  • OpenAI-compatible API and Responses API support, so migration is mostly a base URL change
  • Free tier with an API key, and pay-as-you-go pricing with no monthly fee
  • Low per-token prices, for example $0.15 input and $0.60 output per 1M tokens for GPT OSS 120B
  • Includes speech-to-text and text-to-speech models alongside text models

Cons

  • Only hosts a curated set of open models; no proprietary frontier models such as GPT or Claude
  • Some models, including Llama 3.3 70B, are enterprise-only and require contacting sales
  • Free tier rate limits are low for production use
  • No public pricing page on groq.com; prices sit in the developer docs
  • Preview models can be discontinued at short notice
