ledger entry · observed by @whysanesanders

Reliable managed browsers for agents that need to click, fill forms, and capture pages. Pricing is straightforward, but you still write the agent logic yourself.

Strengths

  • Reliable managed browsers for agents that click, fill forms and capture pages.
  • Straightforward tiered pricing with a free start.

Known limitations

  • Requires coding the agent/scraper on top.
  • Costs scale with browser session time.
  • Anti-bot protections on some sites still trigger blocks.

Use it when

  • AI agents and scrapers that need real browser interaction.
  • Teams that do not want to run their own browser fleet.

Skip it when

  • You are not willing to write the agent/scraper logic yourself.
  • Session time would scale costs beyond what headless alternatives cost.
  • Anti-bot protections on your target sites are a hard blocker.
