Browserbase
Cloud browser infrastructure and APIs that let AI agents browse and act on the web
Freemiumbrowserbase.comUpdated
About Browserbase
Browserbase is a developer platform that gives AI agents and automation scripts access to real, cloud-hosted web browsers. Instead of running headless Chrome themselves, teams create browser sessions through an API and connect with Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium or Browserbase's own Stagehand framework. Sessions can navigate interactive sites, fill forms, handle logins and download files, with live view, logs and session replay for debugging.
Best for
- Running many concurrent cloud browsers for AI agents, web data collection, automating sites without an API
- Background agents: Agents search, organize and act on web data without a person watching.
- Data behind logins: Sessions sign in to portals and collect records that have no API.
- Form and portal automation: Teams automate job applications, vendor portals and government forms.
- Price and change monitoring: Track prices, job listings and competitor changes on a schedule.
- Parallel research at scale: Run many concurrent sessions to gather data or test flows.
Not ideal for
- Non-technical users wanting a point-and-click assistant, teams that only need occasional local scripts
Popular with
- Developers
- AI engineers
- Automation teams
- Startups building agent products

Pros and cons
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.
