What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Browserbase

Leader

A cloud-hosted browser automation platform that provides deployed headless browsers and APIs for AI agents to navigate websites, fill forms, extract data, and perform complex actions reliably and at production scale.

Independently observed

Scalebrowser

Scalebrowser is self-hosted browser infrastructure for AI agents that need to finish real work. Each isolated profile keeps the same identity, cookies, passkeys, memory, and tasks across restarts and machines. A patched Chromium engine, real local GPU values, human-like input, captcha handling, email and SMS codes, TOTP, and browser-level prompt control help agents get through the places where ordinary automation stops. Connect over MCP, REST, Node.js, Python, or direct CDP.
