About
BrowserCat is a hosted headless browser API for Playwright, Puppeteer, and CDP-based automation. It provides browser sessions that connect to BrowserCat’s fleet instead of local infrastructure, with support for navigation, screenshots, form filling, clicks, PDF/image generation, scraping, and automated workflows.
The service is aimed at developers who need browser automation for testing, scraping, monitoring, or agent workflows without running their own browsers. The pricing page lists a perpetual Hobby plan with 1,000 credits per month, 1,000 concurrent requests, and support for Playwright, Puppeteer, and CDP across major browsers in a global browser fleet.
- 1,000 credits per month
- 1,000 concurrent requests

Free Tier Value
BrowserCat’s pricing page shows a Hobby plan at $0/month with 1,000 credits per month included, plus $0.0025 per extra credit; the free-tier bullets match this exactly. Because the free tier is capped and the next paid plan is Business at $50/month, the conservative free-tier value is $0/month for the included recurring allowance rather than extrapolating beyond the cap. The page also indicates usage-based billing with overage charges, so pricing_is_usage_based is true.
What's included in the free tier
- 1,000 credits per month included at no cost.
- Up to 1,000 concurrent requests.
- Basic email support included.
