Category: browser · Isolation: dedicated-vm

## Pricing regimes (raw)

- **Automation hours ($3/h after 2 free hours, Starter)** (sizes): automation hour (VM, proxies and AI included) ? vCPU/? GiB $3/h

## Features

Yes: ≥24 h sessions, full VM (own kernel), browser, browser automation API, anti-bot stealth, CAPTCHA solving, egress allowlist, open internet, SOC 2, HIPAA, SSO, Python, Node.js, webhooks, audit logs, hosted agent API (their own agent), gVisor or VM (no shared kernel)

No: snapshots, memory snapshots, fork/clone, pause/resume, persistent disk, volumes, idle auto-stop, start from your own snapshot, your own Docker/OCI image, Docker inside, nested virtualization, desktop GUI, computer-use API, browser + desktop control, preinstalled agents, SSH, public IPv4, HTTPS preview URLs, static egress IP, self-hosting, BYOC, open source, GPU, arm64, Windows, macOS, HTTP method/path egress rules, wake on request, live resize, live fork (no pause), memory fork, EU data residency, MCP server, automatic snapshots, snapshots on demand, agent harness API, inbound access rules, firewall inside (nftables), secret proxy, secret proxy for any API, extra volumes, shared volumes

## Caveats

- Starter ($0/month, up to 3 seats) includes 2 automation hours then $3/hour. Scale is $700/month (unlimited seats, volume discounts; included hours and overage rate not published). Accelerate and Enterprise are custom-priced. Workflow maintenance and model runtime differ from raw browser hosting. CPU/RAM unspecified.
- Null values mean unknown, not free/unlimited. No model-token cost, tax or unverified ancillary charge included.
- Priced as unsized automation-hours ($3/h includes AI usage and proxies, so it is not comparable to a raw browser or VM hour). Concurrency limits not published.
- Product is now positioned for healthcare automation (payer portals, EHR, RCM, credentialing) and announced as generally available. Run video/screenshots/logs retained 30 days (custom retention on Scale). ToS: subscriptions auto-renew; fees non-refundable; billed via Stripe.

## Verified billing facts and gotchas

1. Starter includes 2 automation-hours then $3/hour. Enterprise $700/month; workflow maintenance and model runtime differ from raw browser hosting. CPU/RAM unspecified.
2. No invented browser vCPU or memory allocation: normalized 4/8 rate remains null. Proxy traffic is not necessarily equivalent to sandbox egress.

Native pricing (not coerced into incompatible engine units):
```json
{
  "browser_hour_usd": 3
}
```

## Worked example

Requested: 4 vCPU/8 GiB, 50 simultaneous × 8 h/day × 22 days = **8,800 instance-hours**, 30% CPU; 50 GiB snapshots and 100 GiB egress. A month is 730 hours only when explicitly used in rate conversion.

A 4-vCPU/8-GiB VM is not established by the browser offering. For 8,800 browser-hours only, native usage is $26,400.00 before plan credits, proxy data, model costs and session/concurrency restrictions.
