Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 81 of the 178 other AI agents we grade
Hyperbrowser provides cloud-hosted Chrome sessions that agents control through Playwright, Puppeteer or an SDK, plus isolated sandboxes for running code and a Web API for fetching, crawling and searching pages. It can also run browser tasks from a prompt with HyperAgent, Browser Use or computer-use models. All four products draw on one pool of credits.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Hyperbrowser, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for cloud browsers for AI agents
Hyperbrowser rents cloud browsers, sandboxes and a web API to AI agents, from $30 a month. Past the included credits you pay for browser time, proxy data and each agent step, and free allows 1 session at a time.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Startup is $30 a month, just above the category's middle of $25, with 30,000 credits. Scale is $100 for 100,000. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free account with 5,000 credits, 1 concurrent session and 7 days of retention. The page doesn't say the credits renew. |
| Features | B | Cloud browsers, sandboxes, a web API and browser agents, with SDKs and MCP. The listing names no gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | D | Developer product: you write code against Playwright, Puppeteer or an SDK. We found no store rating. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web service with Node.js and Python SDKs, a CLI, MCP, Playwright, Puppeteer and Browser Use. No desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Hyperbrowser is for
- Fits if you run browser automation for agents and don't want to host Chrome
- Works for developers who already use Playwright or Puppeteer
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 5,000 credits, 1 session at a time and 7 days of data
- Pricey if you go past the plan, at $0.10 an hour of browser time and $10 a GB of proxy data
- Watch out: agent steps cost $0.02 each on top of browser time and proxy data
- Watch out: plan credits reset on renewal and don't carry over
Good to know
Good for
- Developers who want hosted browsers and web data for agents
- Scraping and automation jobs that need CAPTCHA solving and proxies
- Teams that want one credit balance for browsers, sandboxes and web APIs
Worth knowing
- Usage past the included credits is billed at 1,000 credits = $1: browser time is $0.10 per hour and proxy data $10 per GB.
- Agent steps (HyperAgent or Browser Use) are $0.02 each, on top of browser time and proxy data.
- Plan credits reset on renewal and do not carry over; credits bought separately expire after 12 months.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Hyperbrowser you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $360 a year.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Hyperbrowser’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
