The short version

  • Only Automate.io has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Browser Use billing stacks two separate meters at once: per-token model usage plus $0.02 per hour of browser time, metered by the minute, so cost depends on both reasoning length and session duration, as of August 2026.; Automate.io no longer exists as a product. automate.io redirects to notion.com, which acquired the company and wound the integration service down
