Browser Use is the value pick. Its pricing page has no subscription at all: cloud browsers cost $0.02 per browser hour, home-IP proxy traffic is $5 per GB, CAPTCHA solving is included, and credits start at $5 and never expire. On top of the browsers it sells web agents that take a task and return JSON, priced at a $0.006 median per task on its fastest model, and it publishes per-token rates for the models it hosts, with bring-your-own-key at provider cost plus 0.2x. The free, MIT-licensed Browser Harness lets Claude Code and Codex drive your own Chrome or its cloud browsers. Enterprise buyers get on-prem deployment, EU data residency, HIPAA and zero data retention. The catch is concurrency: you start at 10 browsers at once and move up to 50, 250, 500 and 1,000 only as your total payments grow, and traffic, not browser time, will dominate most bills. For cost-sensitive agent work it is hard to beat.

Who it is for

Developers who want the lowest browser-hour rate and agents that return JSON from a task prompt.
