The short version

Where each one falls short

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

Browser Use

  • Annual plans cost 10 months of fees but provide 12 months of credits (Dev: $290/year with $360 credits)
  • Proxy costs extra: $4-5/GB managed residential proxy
  • Cloud browser sessions add $0.02/hour minimum 1 minute

Camunda

  • Camunda 7 Community Edition stopped receiving security patches after the 7.24 release in October 2025, so free production deployments are now running unpatched software.
  • Camunda 8 Self-Managed is source-available under the Camunda License 1.0, not open source: production use requires a paid licence, and organisations that adopted Camunda for its Apache licence have to renegotiate that decision.
  • Migrating from Camunda 7 to 8 is a rewrite rather than an upgrade because the engine, the API and the persistence model all changed, and there is no in-place migration for running instances.
  • Camunda 8 Self-Managed has substantial infrastructure requirements including Zeebe brokers, Elasticsearch and Identity, which is a considerable operations burden compared with the single database that Camunda 7 needed.
  • Pricing is not published at all, so evaluating total cost requires a sales process, and there is no way to size a budget before committing engineering time to a proof of concept.
