Browserbase
by Browserbase
Cloud browsers and an SDK for web agents
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Browserbase gives developers managed browser fleets that agents drive through Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium or its own Stagehand SDK, plus Search and Fetch APIs, an agent runtime and a model gateway. It suits teams that need agents working on sites with no API. It is infrastructure rather than a finished agent, so you still write and maintain the workflow, and cost grows with browser hours and proxy data.
Our verdict
Browserbase is a solid default for teams that want hosted browsers plus an AI friendly SDK. It rewards developers and offers little to non-technical buyers.
Best for
Engineering teams building production web agents that need reliable hosted browsers.
Avoid if
You want a no-code agent that finishes tasks without any engineering.
Pros
- Mature Playwright and Puppeteer compatibility
- Clear usage based pricing with a real free plan
- Stagehand adds natural language control on top of code
Cons
- You build and maintain the agent logic yourself
- Browser hours and proxy data add up at scale
- Stealth is only basic below the enterprise tier
