Our verdict on BrowserView
BrowserView provides disposable cloud Chromium sessions for software agents and browser automation workflows. Developers can create and manage sessions through an API, SDKs, or an MCP server, then connect through a Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoint. A live viewer lets a person observe or take control of the same browser. That combination is aimed at teams building browser-based agents that need managed sessions with a human oversight option, rather than a general-purpose browser product.
Its standout feature is the combination of automation and visibility: sessions support stealth mode, managed residential or bring-your-own proxies, automatic CAPTCHA solving, and geolocation, locale, and timezone options. Optional session recording and replay can help teams inspect browser activity. Integrations include Playwright, Puppeteer, Claude, OpenAI Agents SDK, and MCP-capable agents. The published specifications list Chromium, cloud deployment, and up to 25 concurrent sessions with a maximum session duration of 240 minutes.
Pricing starts with Free at $0 per month, including 10 browser-hours per month, stealth mode, and live viewing and human takeover. Starter is $20 per month and adds a residential proxy allowance and CAPTCHA auto-solving alongside stealth and live control. Pro is $99 per month with the same listed highlights as Starter. Enterprise lists committed browser-hour volume, custom concurrency and session length, SLA, and priority support. Small teams can start on the free plan or consider Starter for managed proxy and CAPTCHA features; teams needing other browser engines or a non-cloud deployment should look elsewhere.
