Browser Use
Browser Use is browser automation infrastructure built for AI agents. It combines a hosted cloud platform, stealth remote Chromium sessions, and an open-source Python library so teams can either send natural-language tasks to a managed agent or control browsers directly over CDP from Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium.
Where generic headless browsers fail on protected sites, Browser Use maintains its own Chromium fork and reports an 81% bypass rate on its internal stealth benchmark against plain headless Chromium at 2%. Sessions cold-start in under a second and meter at $0.02 per browser hour, which is a narrower, infrastructure-first bet than all-in-one RPA suites that bundle unrelated workflow tools.
Developers building agent products, scrapers that hit Cloudflare or CAPTCHA gates, and teams at companies like Amazon, Stripe, and OpenAI (listed on the homepage) use it when they need production browser control without running their own anti-detection stack. The open-source repo has 105K GitHub stars and ships under MIT, so you can run locally or connect the library to Browser Use Cloud browsers.
Stealth cloud browsers pass 81% of 71 high-security sites on Browser Use's benchmark versus 2% for stock headless Chromium
Remote sessions connect over CDP, so existing Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium code runs without rewrites
Browser time meters at $0.02 per hour with sub-second cold starts and a one-minute minimum charge
Hosted Agents API V4 accepts natural-language tasks with JSON Schema output, webhooks, and session follow-ups
Residential proxies cover 195+ countries at $5 per GB with built-in CAPTCHA solving on cloud sessions
Open-source
browser-usePython library supports multiple LLM providers and optional cloud browser connections
Open-source MIT library with 105K GitHub stars lets you self-host or connect to cloud browsers.
Stealth benchmark scores (81% bypass) beat plain headless Chromium (2%) on the same 71-site test set.
CDP endpoints mean Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium clients work without rewriting automation code.
Transparent usage pricing at $0.02 per browser hour plus credit-based agent plans starting free.
Cloud features require Browser Use credits; heavy agent runs can add model token costs on top of browser time.
Bring-your-own model keys and custom proxies require at least the $29 Dev plan.
Focused on browser control and agents, not a general workflow designer for non-technical teams.
Is Browser Use free to start?
Yes. Browser Use offers a Free cloud plan at $0 with 3 concurrent sessions and 10 agent tasks per month. New accounts also receive $15 in free credit to run hosted agents or cloud browsers before purchasing a subscription or top-up credits.
How much does a Browser Use cloud browser cost?
Browser Use charges $0.02 per browser hour on cloud sessions, metered by the minute with a one-minute minimum. Managed residential proxy traffic costs $5 per GB, while direct connections or bring-your-own-proxy egress bills at $0.20 per GB.
What is the Browser Use Dev plan price?
The Browser Use Dev plan costs $29 per month and includes $29 in monthly credits, 25 concurrent sessions, advanced stealth, bring-your-own model keys, and scheduled jobs. Annual Dev billing is $290 per year with $360 in credits granted up front.
Can Browser Use connect to Playwright or Puppeteer?
Yes. Browser Use cloud browsers expose Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoints, so Browser Use sessions work with Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium clients. The Python and TypeScript SDKs, REST API, and CDP clients all control the same managed Chromium builds.
Does Browser Use include CAPTCHA solving?
Yes. Browser Use runs automatic CAPTCHA solving inside cloud browser sessions on Free, Dev, Business, and Scaleup plans. This is bundled with stealth browser infrastructure so agents can move through protected flows without attaching a separate solver service.
Is Browser Use open source?
Yes. Browser Use publishes the `browser-use` Python library under the MIT license on GitHub with 105K stars. You can install it with `pip install browser-use` to run agents locally or point the library at Browser Use Cloud browsers when you need hosted stealth sessions.
