The honest brief

Browser Use

Parses the DOM into a structured view any LLM can drive — leads open browser agents at ~89% on WebVoyager.

  • Top open-source WebVoyager score (~89%)
  • Model-agnostic, MIT-licensed
  • Structured DOM view instead of vision
  • Hosted Cloud option for managed sessions
  • Success drops on bot-protected sites
  • Vulnerable to indirect prompt injection
  • Needs dev skills, not plug-and-play
  • Multi-step tasks still need human checks

Hyperbrowser

Ships an official MCP server and open-source HyperAgent on top of the browser fleet, so LLMs reach the live web without you running infra.

  • Sub-second session launches
  • Stealth, proxies, and CAPTCHA solving built in
  • Drives Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium
  • Scales to many concurrent sessions
  • Session-based pricing on a monthly base
  • Infra layer — you still build the agent
  • Cloud-only, no self-host
