  • Only Oracle Database 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.; Oracle Database high licensing costs for Enterprise Edition with option packs potentially doubling the effective per-processor cost
