Which one is for you
Pick Browserbase if
- Fits if you run browser agents in code and need hosted browsers
- Works for a developer who wants sessions observed and replayed
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay on Free: 1 browser hour, 15-minute sessions and 7-day retention
- Watch out: usage past the allowance is billed at the plan's rate, so the bill grows with hours and proxies
- Not for you if you need on-prem, which the FAQ says it does not offer
- Skip it if you need HIPAA or SSO on a self-serve plan
Pick Composio if
- Fits if you build agents and want one layer for app connections and OAuth
- Works for a small team trying tool calls on a free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the pricing page covers two products, per seat for For You and per workspace for the platform
- Tight if you are on For You Free, where Firewall, SSO and zero data retention are not included
- Pricey if you go over: $0.005 a tool call on For You, $0.0003 on Pro
- Watch out: Platform Hobby stops at its limits, and managed apps are capped at 20,000 calls there

Worth knowing
Browserbase
- Plans scale past included usage at the plan's rate, so the bill grows with browser hours, proxies and API calls.
- Free has no captcha solving and stops sessions at 15 minutes.
- HIPAA (BAA) and SSO are listed for enterprise customers, not the self-serve plans.
- The FAQ says it does not offer on-prem deployment; hybrid setups come through consulting.
Composio
- The pricing page covers two products; the For You plans are priced per seat and the platform plans per workspace, so check which one fits.
- On the free For You plan, Firewall, SSO and zero data retention are not included; they start at Standard.
- Extra tool calls cost $0.005 each on For You, and $0.0003 each on the platform's Pro plan after the included amount, paid from credits.
- Platform Hobby stops at its included limits rather than billing overages, and Composio-managed apps are capped at 20,000 calls there.
Key features
Browserbase
- Cloud browsers
- Fleets of headless browsers that agents control through Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium or Stagehand.
- Search and Fetch APIs
- Search returns relevant sites from one query; Fetch returns pages as HTML, JSON or markdown for agents.
- Agent identity
- Captcha solving on paid plans, plus stealth mode (basic on Developer and Startup, advanced on Scale).
- Runtime and model gateway
- Browserbase Functions run deployed agents on its servers, and one API key reaches major models through Stagehand.
- Observability
- Session recordings, logs and prompts for debugging an agent, with data kept 7 to 30+ days by plan.
Composio
- 1,700+ app toolkits
- The catalog covers apps such as Gmail, Slack, Notion, Salesforce, HubSpot, GitHub and Linear, with authentication handled by Composio.
- Managed OAuth
- Consent, token storage, refresh and scopes are handled for every connected account, with the option to pass your own tokens instead.
- Triggers
- Events from connected apps are delivered to a webhook, so an agent can start from something that happened in another app.
- MCP gateway and custom servers
- One managed MCP endpoint exposes the connected tools, and servers from other providers or your own team can be added beside them.
- Firewall
- Plain-English policies check tool requests and results, and the vendor says it blocks instructions hidden in tool output and catches secrets.
- Instant tools
- Audio, video, image, search and enrichment tools run on Composio's own provider accounts, billed from credits rather than separate sign-ups.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
