The short version
- Only PostgreSQL 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.; PostgreSQL requires manual scaling across multiple machines for very large deployments
