The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Adyen there is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic; Browserbase the free plan includes only 1 browser hour and a 15 minute maximum session duration; the $20 per month Developer plan raises that to 100 hours before $0.12 per hour overage, as of August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Adyen

  • There is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic
  • Published fees are indicative rather than a rate card, with real pricing negotiated
  • Interchange++ means the card cost varies per transaction rather than being a single predictable percentage
  • Alternative payment methods carry their own rates on top, such as 3.3 percent plus $0.10 for American Express in North America

Browserbase

  • The free plan includes only 1 browser hour and a 15 minute maximum session duration; the $20 per month Developer plan raises that to 100 hours before $0.12 per hour overage, as of August 2026.
