# Kaabist vs Browserless

Browserless runs browsers for your code and hands a session to you well: a live link with a done button. Kaabist takes the step further: the program itself pauses until you answer, resumes from its last checkpoint, heals its locators, and never repeats a submit.

Browserless, in their words: "The web layer your agents run on" (https://www.browserless.io)

Browserless pricing: Free 1k units; Prototyping $25/month for 20k units; Starter $140/month for 180k. A unit is 30 seconds of browser time. Source: https://www.browserless.io/pricing

## When to choose Browserless

You want browsers as a service for existing CDP code, or BrowserQL, and you are happy to write the waiting, retrying and recovering logic around them yourself.
