Browserbase provides cloud-hosted headless browsers that developers control programmatically to build agents capable of navigating and interacting with websites the way a human would. Each session runs isolated with 2 vCPUs, distributed globally, and backed by SOC-2 Type II compliance. Developers can use Stagehand (the platform's SDK) alongside standard frameworks like Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium, and Stagehand itself integrates with agent frameworks such as LangChain, CrewAI, and Mastra.
Beyond raw browser access, the platform bundles several supporting primitives: Search and Fetch APIs for retrieving LLM-ready web content without spinning up a full browser session; Agent Identity, which uses partnerships with Cloudflare, Stytch, Fingerprint, and Vercel plus credential management via 1Password to help agents get past anti-bot systems, CAPTCHAs, and login walls; Functions, which deploy agent code adjacent to the browser with under 5ms latency via a single CLI command; and a Model Gateway that provides unified billing and model-switching through Stagehand. Stagehand also includes automatic action caching, which the site states can make repeated automations up to 2x faster with roughly 30% lower cost on repeated actions. Observability is built in through rich logs, a live session view, and session replay.
Browserbase is used by over 10,000 companies, according to the site, and supports multi-user organization accounts for team collaboration. The site offers four pricing tiers: Free, Developer, Startup, and Enterprise, with detailed limits on concurrent browsers, browser hours, and overage rates for usage beyond included amounts; an Enterprise plan is offered separately for larger deployments.
Provides access to major LLM models through a single Browserbase API key with unified billing and zero friction to switch between models.
Combines Playwright-level browser control with AI primitives (act, extract, observe) that self-heal when web pages change, plus automatic action caching that eliminates redundant LLM calls across runs.
Provides rich logs, live view, and session replay to debug and monitor every step of an agent's browsing activity.
Deploys and runs agent code next to the browser with under 5ms latency, with no queues, schedulers, or orchestration to maintain, via `bb function deploy`.
Supports team accounts for collaborating on browser agent projects at scale.
Maintains persistent sessions with cookies, localStorage, and auth state across browser runs.
Enables downloading files directly from browser sessions.
Provides programmatic access to fleets of headless browsers with concurrent, isolated sessions, 2 vCPUs per browser, and globally distributed infrastructure.
Configures residential and datacenter proxies for browser sessions.
Lets agents quickly search and fetch LLM-ready context from the web for fast, token-efficient decisions without spinning up a full browser session.
Works with Stagehand, Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium, and plugs into agent frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, and Mastra.
Sets up an MCP server so agents can use Browserbase tools through the Model Context Protocol.
Gives agents a credential-first identity that helps them get past anti-bot systems, CAPTCHAs, and authentication walls via partnerships with Cloudflare, Stytch, Fingerprint, Vercel, and 1Password.
Browserbase does not list specific plan prices or tiers on this page; pricing details are found on a separate pricing page, with an Enterprise option available for larger teams needing custom plans and features.

Common questions answered by our AI research team
The Free Plan is $0/mo and includes 3 concurrent browsers, 1 browser hour, 3 agent runs, 1,000 Search calls, 1,000 Fetch calls, 15 minutes per session, $5 in model tokens, and included runtime.
Developer ($20/mo) offers 25 concurrent browsers, 100 browser hours, 15 agent runs, 1GB proxies, plus Model Gateway, Identity, and auto captcha solving. Startup ($99/mo) scales this up to 100 concurrent browsers, 500 browser hours, 50 agent runs, 10,000 Fetch calls, and 5GB proxies, with the same capabilities but more headroom and is marked 'Most Popular'.
Yes. Browserbase offers native compatibility with Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, .NET) and Puppeteer (complete Node.js integration with Chrome DevTools Protocol), both working out-of-the-box with its cloud infrastructure with no additional setup required.
Stagehand is the AI SDK created and maintained by Browserbase, giving developers Playwright-level control plus AI primitives (act, extract, observe) that self-heal when pages change. Browserbase is the engine and Stagehand is the intelligent driver — together with the Model Gateway they let teams benchmark and switch models without code changes.
Yes. Browserbase supports custom proxy configurations including residential proxies for geo-specific automation, rotating proxy pools for large-scale operations, custom proxy authentication, and integration with existing proxy providers, plus built-in proxy rotation and IP management.
