Product overview
What is Browser Use?
Browser Use is a browser-automation platform for AI agents. It includes an open-source Python library for developers who want to run browser agents in their own environment and a managed cloud platform for running tasks, browsers, and reusable web skills at scale. Agents can navigate websites, extract information, complete workflows, test interfaces, and monitor changing pages from natural-language tasks.
The cloud product provides hosted browser sessions, stealth infrastructure, CAPTCHA solving, residential proxies in more than 195 countries, purpose-built browser models, recordings, profiles, webhooks, and concurrency controls. Skill APIs turn a repeatable workflow on a website into an API operation that can be called again without rebuilding the task each time. The open-source library supports more than 15 model providers and can combine Browser Use behavior with deterministic Playwright actions.
How to Use Browser Use
- Choose the open-source library or create a Browser Use Cloud account.
- For open source, install the package and configure a supported model provider; for cloud, create an API key.
- Define the website task and any required structured output.
- Configure a browser profile, proxy, stealth, recording, or custom Playwright actions when needed.
- Run the agent, review the result and session evidence, and save stable workflows as reusable Skills.
Core Features
- Web agents: Execute extraction, automation, testing, and monitoring tasks from natural language.
- Open-source library: Runs browser agents with a broad range of supported model providers.
- Managed browsers: Provides cloud sessions, recordings, profiles, and concurrency controls.
- Stealth infrastructure: Includes anti-detection features, CAPTCHA handling, and proxy coverage.
- Skill APIs: Packages a website workflow as a repeatable API endpoint.
- Custom browser models: Offers models optimized specifically for browser-agent work.
Use Cases
- Web data extraction: Teams collect structured information from public or authenticated sites.
- Business-process automation: Agents complete repetitive tasks in products without suitable APIs.
- Website testing: Engineering teams run natural-language user journeys against web interfaces.
- Change monitoring: Operations groups watch pages and trigger workflows when information changes.
- Embedded browser agents: Developers add computer-use capability to their own products.
Pricing
The open-source library is free to self-host. Browser Use Cloud offers Pay As You Go at $0 per month with purchased credits, up to 25 concurrent sessions, browser sessions at $0.06 per hour, and proxy data at $10 per GB. Monthly plans are Starter at $100, Business at $500, and Scaleup at $2,500, with higher concurrency, credits, support, stealth, and lower infrastructure rates. Custom plans are available. New model users receive five free tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Browser Use open source?
Its core Python library is open source; managed cloud infrastructure is a separate paid service.
Can Browser Use work with Playwright?
Yes. Official examples show Playwright and Browser Use sharing a Chrome session for deterministic actions.
Does it support different model providers?
Yes. The open-source documentation lists support for more than 15 providers.
