What is Browser Use?
Browser Use offers browser agents and infrastructure for agent-driven web tasks. Its open-source library and hosted services are different ways to run a workflow; using free source code does not remove model or cloud costs.
If you already use an MCP client and want to inspect a running page before each action, try the same browser task with Playwright MCP.
Official website: browser-use.comWhen should you run Browser Use locally or in the cloud?
Choose the open-source library if you want to run the Python workflow in your own environment. Choose Browser Use Cloud if you need a managed browser or hosted agent API. Check the model you connect and the browser service you actually use, since their usage can be billed separately.
- For a first test, use a page you have permission to access and return two fields you can verify on the page.
- If you move the same task to Cloud, check whether you need a browser session, an agent run, or both before comparing rates.

Frequently asked questions
Does open source mean the whole workflow costs nothing?
No. A model provider and hosted browser may still charge.
Can it bypass a site’s access rules?
Treat normal authentication and site restrictions as part of the workflow.
