Overview

Browser Use runs AI agents that drive web browsers. It combines an open-source library and browser harness with hosted stealth browsers offering anti-detection, CAPTCHA solving and proxies from 195+ countries, a hosted agent API, and its own BU models tuned for browser automation. Access is via SDK, REST, CDP or the harness, and usage draws down a credit balance.

Best for: Teams building web automation that need hosted stealth browsers and agent APIs, plus an open-source library
Pricing: Free to start with 10 agent tasks a month, then plans at $29, $299 or $999 per month in credits, with usage priced separately (browser sessions $0.02/hour, hosted agent tokens at 1.2x provider rates); Enterprise is quoted.
