BrowserCloud review
Hosted Chrome automation with Playwright, Puppeteer, proxies, and credit-based plans.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
BrowserCloud provides hosted Chrome infrastructure for automating web applications, scraping data, testing, and generating browser-rendered content. Developers can connect through Puppeteer or Playwright, use HTTP APIs, or work with supported automation frameworks. Its audience includes teams that want cloud execution without managing browser infrastructure themselves, particularly those seeking credit-based capacity for automation workflows. The product covers browser interactions as well as content capture and data extraction, so it can serve both scripted tasks and broader web application automation.
Plans scale from a Free tier with 1,000 credits/month, 1 concurrent browser, and sessions up to 15 minutes, to Hobby at $19/month with 120,000 credits and 5 concurrent browsers. Hobby adds basic anti-detection and residential proxies. Startup costs $99/month for 1,000,000 credits and 50 concurrent browsers, with advanced stealth mode and premium residential proxies; Business is $249/month for 3,000,000 credits and 100 concurrent browsers with those same features. Enterprise offers unlimited credits, custom RPM and concurrency limits, priority support, and service level agreements. Separate 100, 200, and 300 Sessions plans cost $690, $940, and $1,100/month respectively, with unlimited credits and priority support or higher support tiers; each includes a service-level commitment. This gives buyers a clear low-cost entry point, while higher concurrency comes at a substantially higher monthly price.
BrowserCloud supports integrations including Puppeteer, Playwright, Browser Use, n8n, Zapier, and Make, and lists documentation for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, and other languages. Persistent contexts and cache, proxy country targeting and sticky behavior, randomized device fingerprints, supported CAPTCHA solving, live monitoring, and recording broaden the service beyond basic remote browser access. Its focus remains hosted Chrome, rather than a multi-engine or self-hosted setup, so teams requiring those options should look elsewhere. Email and community support are available, and the product lists SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance.
