Pricing Change Timeline

Every record we hold is listed here, newest first. A record is never removed from this list, so a vendor named here stays named here whatever its verdict does afterwards.

reduced Browser Use effective 2026-10-04 high
By October 4, 2026, Browser Use cut its one-time sign-up credit from $15 to $1. Its pricing page read "$15 once per person" on September 21 and "$1 once per person" on October 4; its homepage still said "$15 free credits" on September 29. Source ↗
increased Browserless effective 2026-09-24 low
By September 24, 2026, Browserless's Free plan allowed a browser session of up to 2 minutes, up from 1 minute on August 24, 2026. The 1,000 units a month, 2 concurrent browsers, session reconnects and the $0 price were unchanged. Source ↗
restructured Anchor Browser effective 2026-08-21 medium
From August 21, 2026, Anchor Browser bills each AI step by the tier of the model that runs it: $0.01 for Light models, $0.05 for Standard models such as Claude Haiku 4.5 and GPT-5, and $0.10 for High Performance models such as Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus and GPT-5.5. Before that date every AI step cost $0.01. With your own model key, a step is still a flat $0.01. Browser, browser-hour and proxy prices did not change. Source ↗
increased Browserbase effective between 2026-02-18 and 2026-03-21 low
The free tier now offers 3 concurrent browsers and 1 browser hour, with 1,000 search calls, 1,000 fetch calls, 15 minutes/session, and 7 days data retention. Previously 1 browser hour, 1 concurrent browser, 15-minute max session, 7-day data retention, and 1 project. The concurrent browser limit has increased. Source ↗

At-Risk Vendors

All 2 of the 10 vendors we list in this category that carry one. A vendor is named here for as long as a demotion is in force against it: a one-off pricing event, recorded against a source we cite, whose date falls in the last 180 days — or a standing condition, also cited, such as a product retired or a free tier withdrawn and not restored, which does not expire with time. A demotion can lift with nothing about the vendor having changed, and that happens on the day the vendor's newest qualifying event passes 180 days.

Stable Picks

All 4 of the 10 vendors we list in this category that qualify, not a selection of them. A vendor is named here for as long as no demotion is in force against it and we hold no change record for it dated in the last 90 days — any record, including ones the timeline above does not count. A vendor can join this section on a day we recorded nothing about it, when the later of those two clocks runs out: 90 days after its newest record, or the day the demotion against it lapses. It leaves on the day we file a new record, or the day we can no longer vouch for the terms we list.
