# Kaabist vs Browserbase

Browserbase is browser infrastructure: remote browsers for your code, and Stagehand for AI actions inside it. Kaabist runs whole programs on its own browsers: it pauses them when a site needs you, resumes them from their last checkpoint once you answer, and guards every step that submits.

Browserbase, in their words: "Give your agents access to the whole web." (https://www.browserbase.com)

Browserbase pricing: Free plan with 1 browser-hour; Developer $20/month for 100 browser-hours; Startup $99/month for 500. Source: https://www.browserbase.com/pricing
