A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. This one rests on a record effective 2026-10-04, so it lapses on 2027-04-03 unless we record something new first.

Free Tier Details
Cloud browsers and an agent API for browser automation. Eligible new accounts that sign up with Google, GitHub or Microsoft (not email and password) get a one-time $1 credit, once per person and with no card, and Browser Use says it does not renew. Browser Use cut the credit from $15 to $1 by 2026-10-04. Until a first top-up, free accounts can use only the cheaper models. Browsers cost $0.02 per browser-hour, and the residential proxy is on by default at $5 per GB ($0.20 per GB direct or through your own proxy), so 0.2 GB of proxied traffic uses the whole credit. There are no subscriptions; top-ups start at $5.
We read that on 2026-11-06 from https://browser-use.com/pricing, and our check recorded: the page names Browser Use as "browser use" and states "$0.02" and "$5" and "$0.20" and "$1".
