The short version

  • Only Bruno 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.; Bruno native Git integration, the feature that distinguishes it from cloud API clients, is Pro only at $6 per user per month
