Let me know if we can help with something at Hyperbrowser.
And yeah MCP is super promising. We announced this on X and LinkedIn yesterday and the response has been really good. A lot of people with a bunch of use cases.
One surprising thing is there’s also a bunch of semi/non-technical people using our MCP server and the installation experience for them rn just absolutely sucks.
I think once auth and 1-click install are solved, MCP could become the standard way to integrate tools with LLMs
1) Yep, you just pay from browser time and proxy usage
2) We use a handful of proxy providers under the hood ourselves. There’s a lot of shady ones but we only work with ones where we’ve vetted the source of. Different providers source proxies in different ways - directly from ISPs, paying end sources for proxies etc
otoh, they've dropped prices for everything else a ton previously so maybe they will for this as well
So many people building with / on top of browser-use now - spawned a whole cottage industry! :)
Cool project either way!
The companies we’ve seen automatic agentic workflows well typically send a bunch of context to the LLM and somewhat constrain the actions that the model can take. Actually works better than you’d expect :)
This is also something I need btw so if you built a product on top of it, I'd be user #2 :)
For your specific example, this is how the math works out:
- Browser hours: 10K hours * 60 minutes per hour * 1 credit / minute = 600K credits
- Proxy usage: 10GB proxy data * 1024 MB / GB * 6 credits / 1MB proxy data = 61,440 credits
The scale plan includes 60K credits for $100/mo and overage credits are ~0.2c each, so the total would be $100 + (601.44 * $0.002) = 1302.88
Sorry about the confusing pricing btw! As I wrote this out, clearly we have our work cut out for us to simplify pricing - we'll try to make it simpler over the next few days and add a calculator that let's you see how much this would cost.
Feel free to email me at shri@hyperbrowser.ai if I can help with anything!
We aim to be pretty competitive on price across the board. Today we're just launching our headless browser service and I think we're significantly less expensive than competitors on that as dbmikus mentioned below
Totally hear you on the scraping specific use case without captcha solving etc though - we'll probably launch competitive pricing for this specific use case in the next few days. I'll make a note to leave a comment here when we do or feel free to email me at shri@hyperbrowser.ai and I can follow-up there :)
