The short version

  • 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.; 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.
