Hyperbrowser
Also known as: Hyperbrowser AI
Cloud browser infrastructure for AI agents: stealth browser sessions in five regions, web scraping and extraction APIs, hosted computer-use agents, and sandboxes.
Hyperbrowser, built by S2 Labs, is cloud infrastructure for AI agents on the web. Its browser sessions run in a choice of five regions (three in the US, one in western Europe, one in south Asia), connect to Playwright, Puppeteer or Selenium, and come with stealth, residential proxies, CAPTCHA solving, profiles, extensions, rrweb and MP4 recordings, and a live view a person can watch or take over. Web APIs fetch, search, scrape, crawl and extract structured data from pages.
Hosted agent tasks run HyperAgent, Browser Use or computer-use agents from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI and Jev with one API call, and the open source HyperAgent framework adds page.ai() actions, multiple LLM providers and action caching that replays recorded steps without model calls. Hyperbrowser also sells sandboxes, with memory snapshots, volumes, custom images and a CLI, for running agents in harnessed cloud environments.
Pricing is credit-based at a tenth of a cent per credit: a free plan with 5,000 credits, Startup at $30 a month with 30,000 credits, Scale at $100 a month with 100,000, and custom Enterprise with 1,000 or more concurrent browsers and longer data retention. Browser time runs $0.10 an hour, proxy data $10 per GB, and a scraped page a tenth of a cent. A Security Commitments page describes controls aligned with SOC 2 criteria, encryption and annual penetration testing; no customer SSO or roles are documented.

Integrations
REST API with Python (hyperbrowser) and Node.js (@hyperbrowser/sdk) SDKs, the hx CLI for sandboxes, and an open source MCP server; Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium connections; LangChain, LlamaIndex, Stagehand, AI function calling and x402 integrations; hosted HyperAgent, Browser Use and computer-use agents from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI and Jev.
In practice
Your agent hits Cloudflare and Akamai bot walls. Hyperbrowser runs real Chrome in isolated containers with stealth fingerprinting, proxy rotation, and CAPTCHA solving, so the agent reaches the site reliably.
You want an agent to browse using natural language, not selectors. HyperAgent extends Playwright with page.ai and executeTask, so you describe the task and it navigates and extracts structured data.
You need thousands of concurrent browser sessions without maintaining a grid. Hyperbrowser provisions isolated sessions serverlessly with roughly one second cold starts and credit based billing.

| Integrations & Tool Calling | Full |
|---|---|
|
Named integrations and custom tool support are both documented. LangChain, LlamaIndex, Stagehand and AI function-calling guides give an agent Hyperbrowser's browser, scrape and crawl as tools; HyperAgent's custom actions let a developer add their own tools; and x402 lets agents pay for fetches and searches.

|
| Workflow Orchestration | Partial |
|
Hyperbrowser runs hosted agent tasks: one API call starts a HyperAgent, Browser Use or model-native computer-use task (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Meta, Grok, Jev) in a managed session, the agent works through its steps, and the customer polls status, reads results or stops it. The open source HyperAgent adds multi-page management within one agent. That is multi-step execution of a single agent's loop, and no workflow composition, step chaining or multi-agent execution of Hyperbrowser's own is documented; action caching replays one agent's steps.

|
| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Not documented |
|
Fetch, search, scrape, crawl and AI extract endpoints turn public web pages into markdown, HTML or structured data for the customer's own pipeline. That is web data for the customer to use rather than a retrieval structure Hyperbrowser maintains over the customer's own corpus; no index, vector store or grounding layer of Hyperbrowser's own over customer content is documented. Sourcehyperbrowser.ai/docs/web/overviewread 2026-09-23 |
|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Partial |
|
The human intervention surface is Live View: every session carries a Live View URL, embeddable in the customer's application, through which a person can watch and interact with the running browser, and the docs name human-in-the-loop interactions among its uses. No approval gate, pause primitive or policy guardrail is documented, and when to hand control to a person is decided in the customer's code. Sourcehyperbrowser.ai/docs/sessions/live-viewread 2026-09-23 |
|
| Security, Identity & Governance | Partial |
|
A Security Commitments page (last updated 7 May 2026) names the controls: an information security program aligned with the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, independent third-party assessments, annual third-party penetration testing, encryption at rest and in transit, vulnerability scanning, logging and monitoring, incident response, and backup and recovery. The attestation is unclear, with the pricing page's Enterprise card listing 'HIPAA/SOC 2' while the security page says only 'aligned with'; the page's access controls (least privilege, quarterly access reviews, SSO where available) govern Hyperbrowser's own team, and no SSO, roles or permissions for customer accounts are documented. Sourcehyperbrowser.ai/securityread 2026-09-23 |
|
| Observability & Auditability | Partial |
|
Hyperbrowser records the session. Web recordings (rrweb) capture DOM changes, interactions and network requests for replay, and MP4 video recordings are available too; both are fetched through the API, and every session has a live view. Data retention runs by plan: 7 days on Free, 30 on Startup and Scale, and 180 or more on Enterprise. That lets a buyer replay what the agent did in the browser. No structured per-action log of the agent's steps, no audit log separate from the recording, and no export to a monitoring system are documented.

|
| Memory & State Persistence | Partial |
|
Sandboxes carry state forward: a memory snapshot freezes a running sandbox's memory, processes and filesystem and starts new sandboxes from that state, and volumes persist data across sandboxes, so the agent's own code reads the restored state to carry on. Snapshot state is the machine's, restored whole, and volumes are storage the code reads; no memory layer with a stated scope and lifetime is documented. Browser profiles, the saved login loaded at session start, and HyperAgent action caching, a replay of recorded actions without LLM calls, are not agent memory.

|
| Deployment & Data Residency | Full |
|
Buyers select from a published region list: browser sessions deploy to us-central, us-east, us-west, europe-west or asia-south, chosen per session. The security page adds that production data is hosted in United States databases unless otherwise agreed in writing. No self-hosted option is documented.

|
| Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs | Partial |
|
Ready-made starting points come as a templates gallery of ready-to-run sample projects built on the Hyperbrowser APIs (a news sentiment aggregator, product review analyzer, shopping recommenders, API servers wrapping Hacker News, Product Hunt and Craigslist, and others) and an examples repository. These are projects a developer clones and adapts rather than a catalog of agents a buyer adopts. Sourcehyperbrowser.ai/templatesread 2026-09-23 |
|
| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Not documented |
|
Hyperbrowser starts work when a caller creates a session, sandbox, scrape job or agent task through the API or SDKs; no event, schedule, webhook or inbound queue of its own starts agent work. The action caching page lists scheduled jobs as a use case for replays, but the schedule is the customer's. Sourcehyperbrowser.ai/docs/api-reference/create-new-sessionread 2026-09-23 |
|
| Model Flexibility & Routing | Full |
|
The customer chooses the model behind Hyperbrowser's hosted agents. Tasks start with a chosen agent: HyperAgent or Browser Use, or model-native computer-use agents from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (CUA), Google (Gemini), Meta, xAI (Grok) and Jev. The pricing page bills each by its own model's tokens or steps, and HyperAgent supports OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Gemini models as configured providers.

|
| APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility | Full |
|
A documented REST API makes the platform callable from outside (sessions, profiles, extensions, sandboxes, volumes, snapshots, fetch, search, scrape, crawl, extract and agent tasks, with a full API reference), alongside official Python (pip install hyperbrowser) and Node.js (@hyperbrowser/sdk) SDKs, the hx CLI for sandboxes, and an open source MCP server.

|
| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Not documented |
|
This is where agents run, not how they are scored: no fixtures, scoring, quality gates or comparison of agent runs are documented as Hyperbrowser features. Session recordings and live view are the debugging surface, and action caching replays recorded actions deterministically to cut cost, which is execution rather than evaluation.

|
Operating a real browser for agents is Hyperbrowser's product: cloud browser sessions an agent drives through Playwright, Puppeteer or Selenium, computer actions (click, type, scroll, screenshot), or hosted computer-use agents from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI and Jev, with stealth, proxies, CAPTCHA solving, profiles and extensions for production use.

The Agentic Index coverage score grades every vendor Full, Partial or Not documented against the same 14 buyer facing capabilities, from public evidence only. Each capability links to how all vendors in the index score on it. How this evidence is graded
Pricing
Free 5,000 credits · Startup $30/mo plus usage · browser hours $0.10
Credits at $0.001 each, drawn by browser hours, proxy data, web API pages and queries, AI extract tokens and agent steps or model tokens; plan credits refresh on renewal, purchased credits expire after 12 months
Included quota
Free tier includes 1,000 credits and 1 concurrent browser with no card. Usage draws credits at 1 credit ($0.001) each, with a browser hour costing about 100 credits ($0.10) and a scraped page 1 credit. Subscription plans refresh credits on renewal; directly purchased credits expire after 12 months.
What is public
Per credit, per browser hour and per page rates, the free tier and the Startup and Scale subscriptions are published; Enterprise is custom.
Billing mechanics
Credit based, where 1 credit is $0.001. Browser sessions consume about 100 credits per browser hour and scrapes 1 credit per page. Credits come from subscription plans (refresh on renewal) or direct purchase (expire in 12 months).
Cost watchouts
Proxy data at $10 per GB usually outweighs browser hours, and hosted computer-use agents bill their own model tokens on top of browser time; credits bought outside a subscription expire after 12 months.
Variable cost rationale
Every service draws credits by use (browser hours, proxy data, pages, extraction tokens, agent steps and model tokens), so concurrency, proxy needs and agent choice drive nearly all cost above the plan's included credits.
Overage / add-ons
Usage draws down credits at published rates (about 100 credits per browser hour, 1 per scraped page); subscription credits refresh on renewal, purchased credits expire after 12 months.
Sales call required
Mixed (some tiers require a call)
Free / trial
Free plan with 5,000 credits; a 14-day trial on Enterprise plans
Lowest paid plan
Startup $30 a month plus usage
Commercial notes
Independent, Y Combinator backed, founded 2021, with Accel and SV Angel among investors. Cloud platform proprietary; HyperAgent, MCP server, and SDKs open source under MIT.
Key ambiguities
Total cost mixes browser hours, proxy data, per-page web API calls, extraction tokens and agent steps or model tokens, so the plan's included credits cover different amounts of work depending on the mix.
