Where each one falls short

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

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.

Hive

The free plan is capped at 200 MB of storage
The Starter plan at $5 per user per month is limited to 10 projects
Eight capabilities are sold as $5 per user add ons on the Teams plan, including CRM, timesheets, proofing, resourcing, advanced dashboards, external users and SSO
Buying SSO plus a few of those add ons therefore costs more than the $12 base seat itself
AI credits are metered monthly at 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 by plan
