Browser Infrastructure

Your Playwright script, on a browser that gets in.

One POST creates a browser. Paste the CDP URL into connectOverCDP. Done, at $0.02 per browser-hour with no subscription.

Pay for minutes, not for a plan.

Billing starts when the browser is created and stops when you PATCH it. A five-minute scrape costs a fraction of a cent. Concurrency starts at 10 browsers and grows with what you spend, up to 1,000 and beyond on enterprise terms.

One cell = one browser-hour · 50 hours cost $1.00 · the marked cell is your first hour

Ready before you finish blinking.

A session comes up in under a second, which matters when every test or scrape starts by asking for a fresh browser. Stop it when you are done and the meter stops with it.

Questions people ask

Do I have to change my Playwright script?

One line. Replace chromium.launch() with chromium.connectOverCDP(cdpUrl). Selectors, waits, downloads and screenshots work as they do on your laptop, because it is a real Chromium on the other end.

What does it cost?

$0.02 per browser-hour, billed by the minute, plus $5/GB when traffic goes through the residential proxies. No subscription, no minimum. Credits never expire.

Does Selenium work?

No. Selenium's debugger_address only accepts a local host:port, so it cannot attach to a remote CDP WebSocket. Playwright and Puppeteer can.

How do I stop paying for a browser?

PATCH /api/v4/browsers/{id} with {"action":"stop"}. browser.close() in your script does not stop the managed browser; the API call does.

Is stealth an add-on?

No. Every browser runs the hardened Chromium build with stealth on, solves supported CAPTCHAs, and can route through residential proxies in 195+ countries. There is no plan tier that unlocks it.

Can I keep a login between sessions?

Yes. Save a profile once and pass its id when you create the browser. Cookies, localStorage and login state come back. You can also sync cookies from your local Chrome into a cloud profile.
