Browser agents and stealth cloud browsers for real web tasks
Describe the task and get structured JSON back, handling multi-step flows behind logins without hand-written selectors.
Managed Chromium instances with residential IPs that are benchmarked for getting past bot detection and CAPTCHAs.
A free, open-source harness that plugs into coding agents; benchmarked as the most token-efficient browser tool of the set tested.
Run browsers in your own network or in managed US/EU cloud regions, with EU data staying in Frankfurt.

Cloud browsers for AI agents, scraping, and automation that won't get blocked
Swap launch() for connect() and point your existing Puppeteer or Playwright scripts at a managed cloud browser — no rewrite required.
Give MCP clients like Claude or Cursor ready-made search, scrape, and crawl tools, or run Browserless's own stateful agent for multi-step tasks.
Automatic anti-bot bypass, built-in CAPTCHA solving, and residential or datacenter proxy rotation to get through blocked targets.
Log in one time and reuse the session across every run, so agents start signed in without credentials baked into your code.

Free / Open-sourceOpen-source developer API that crawls websites and converts them directly into clean LLM-ready markdown.
#2
SpecialistCombines cloud browsers with live web search and agentic automation features for AI workflows.
#3
SpecialistProvides web search and crawling built for LLMs, but lacks low-level programmatic DOM interaction.
Provides real Chrome cloud sessions and automation APIs, but focuses heavily on testing workflows.

Delivers robust proxy networks and web scraping APIs, but is typically more expensive for simple headless browsing.

Provides managed cloud infrastructure for browser agents, but lacks the specific local open-source framework code of Browser Use.

SpecialistSpecializes in URL-to-Markdown document reading and search infrastructure rather than raw headless browser automation.

SpecialistProvides isolated browser profiles with persistent identities, tailored specifically for running automated AI agents.

Free / Open-sourceTurn any website into structured JSON with a prompt instead of selectors

Provides straightforward scraping and browser rendering endpoints, but offers less direct WebSocket control than Browserless.

Free / Open-sourceAutomates complex browser workflows using vision-based AI agents rather than providing raw programmatic headless control.
