Browserless: Pricing, Features & Alternatives

Browserless is for teams that already wrote the Playwright script and just do not want to run the browser fleet. You point your existing code at their WebSocket endpoint and keep all of it. Billing is in 'units' of 30 seconds of browser time against a flat tier. Its BrowserQL query language is the newer, more scraping-shaped interface on top of the same infrastructure.
