Browser Use is one of the most popular open-source foundations for AI browser agents: MIT-licensed, model-agnostic and actively developed, with an optional cloud that now bills simply by usage rather than subscription. Its benchmark claims are self-reported, its newest Rust agent is still beta, and one related project carries the AGPL licence, so check licensing for commercial use. A strong starting point for developers automating web tasks; budget for model tokens, which usually cost more than the browsers.
What we found
Browser Use is an open-source Python library that lets AI agents control a web browser — clicking, typing, navigating and extracting information to complete tasks on websites — using a language model of your choice, plus a hosted cloud for running those agents and browsers at scale. The MIT-licensed library supports Python 3.11 and later, includes a command-line tool and an MCP server, and offers its own optimised model, ChatBrowserUse; version 0.13 added a beta Rust-backed agent alongside the existing Python one, and the latest release, 0.13.10, came out on 4 September 2026. Related projects include Browser Harness and web-ui, both MIT-licensed, and workflow-use, which is under the AGPL. The cloud offers Browser Use Agents and Browser Infrastructure, with stealth browsers and residential proxies, and its enterprise terms add HIPAA support, zero data retention, SOC 2 Type II certification and EU data residency on request. Its benchmark results, such as 98% on Online-Mind2Web, are its own.
Browser Use, Inc. was founded in 2024 by Magnus Müller, chief executive, and Gregor Zunic, chief technology officer, who met at ETH Zurich; it went through Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch, is based in San Francisco and raised a $17 million seed round led by Felicis in March 2025.
The library is free; you pay your own model and browser costs. The cloud dropped its subscription plans in 2026 and is now pay as you go: browsers cost $0.02 an hour, residential proxies $5 per gigabyte, and agents cost model tokens plus a 20% fee, with credits from $5 that never expire and concurrency rising with lifetime spend. Eligible new users get a one-time $15 credit without a card, and enterprise contracts add custom concurrency and SLAs.
It suits developers building browser-automation agents who want an open foundation with an optional managed cloud.
