Browser Use

85/100open sourcefreemiumexplicit relation

Browser Use is an open-source AI agent framework with 99K+ GitHub stars enabling LLMs to control web browsers via natural language. Y Combinator-backed, it lets agents navigate sites, fill forms, extract data, and complete multi-step tasks autonomously. Built on Playwright with vision-based element detection, multi-tab management, cookie persistence, and self-correcting actions. Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models with a simple Python API for building custom browser agents.

Browser Use is open-source under the MIT license for self-hosting with BYOK LLM keys. The managed Browser Use Cloud service provides a free tier (3 concurrent sessions, 10 tasks), a Dev plan at $29/month ($29 credits, 25 sessions, stealth browsing), a Business plan at $299/month (200 sessions), and custom Enterprise tiers.Review →

Stagehand

85/100open sourceexplicit relation

Stagehand is an open-source browser-agent SDK from Browserbase that combines deterministic browser automation with AI primitives such as act(), extract(), observe(), and agent(). Instead of relying only on brittle selectors, developers can use natural-language actions, Zod-backed structured extraction, page observation, action caching, and Browserbase cloud-browser infrastructure for production web automation.

100% free and open-source (MIT License, $0 software cost). Users bring their own LLM API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) for token usage. Runs locally on Playwright/Chromium for free, with optional integration to Browserbase managed cloud browser infrastructure (Free tier with 1 hr/mo, Developer at $20/mo, Startup at $99/mo, and Custom enterprise plans).Review →

Browserbase MCP Server

83/100open sourcefreemiumexplicit relation

Browserbase MCP Server gives MCP clients a hosted or self-hostable browser through Browserbase and Stagehand. It exposes tools for starting sessions, navigating, acting, observing, extracting, and taking screenshots, with a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint for easiest setup and local STDIO/Docker options for teams that want to run the Apache-licensed server themselves.

Open-source MIT-licensed MCP server ($0 software license). Connects to Browserbase cloud browser infrastructure with a Free tier (1 hr/mo browser runtime, 3 concurrent sessions), Developer ($20/mo with 100 hrs, $0.12/hr overage, 25 concurrent sessions, 1 GB proxy), Startup ($99/mo with 500 hrs, $0.10/hr overage, 100 concurrent sessions, 5 GB proxy), and custom Scale/Enterprise plans with Advanced Stealth (Verified fingerprints), dedicated IPs, SOC 2 Type II, and 99.99% SLA.Review →

Steel

open sourcefreemiumexplicit relation

Steel is an open-source browser API purpose-built for AI agents, providing managed headless browser sessions with anti-bot bypass, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and session persistence. It handles the infrastructure layer that browser automation agents like Browser Use and Stagehand run on top of. Self-hostable or available as a cloud service. Over 6,000 GitHub stars.

Open-source browser sandbox (Apache-2.0) with $0 self-hosted deployment. Steel Cloud offers a Free tier with 100 browser hours/month ($30 starting credits). Paid usage is metered at ~$0.08/browser hour, with CAPTCHA solving starting at $1/1k solves and residential proxy bandwidth from $6/GB. Enterprise plans provide dedicated infrastructure, custom concurrency limits, and 24/7 SLA.

Notte

open sourcefreeexplicit relation

Notte is a browser automation framework for AI agents that converts any website into a structured action API. Instead of scraping pages for text, Notte lets agents interact with sites — clicking buttons, filling forms, and navigating flows. Built with hybrid AI-plus-deterministic scripting, it includes digital personas, CAPTCHA solving, and proxy management for reliable automation at scale.

Free and open-source core framework (SSPL-1.0 / MIT codebase) for self-hosting ($0 software licensing). Notte Cloud provides managed serverless browser sessions, residential proxy pools, and session replay observability with free trial credits and usage-based scaling.
