Key Features

Agent and library choice
Bring your own agent and library, or run ours. Stealth, CAPTCHA, residential proxies, and authenticated profiles that persist and scale to thousands. Your agent gets in, and gets it done.
Stealth fingerprints
Stealth fingerprints that sites don't flag.
Managed browsers
Browserless runs the headless browsers behind your automation, in our cloud or entirely on your own infrastructure. Same Puppeteer and Playwright code, no browser fleet to operate.
Browser connections
You connect over WebSocket with the Puppeteer or Playwright code you already have, or call REST and BrowserQL endpoints, and you get back a browser that works.
Private network deployment
The same container is available to run inside your own network, which is what makes it viable for teams whose data cannot leave it.
Offline licensing
It makes no callbacks to Browserless and license keys validate offline, so the only egress you have to allow is to the sites you are automating.
Environment configuration
Concurrency limits, timeouts, queue behavior, health checks and security settings all configure through environment variables.

Pros and cons

Pros

Supports existing Puppeteer and Playwright scripts with minimal code changes.
Handles complex anti-bot measures and CAPTCHA solving automatically.
Offers session persistence to reduce proxy usage and speed up workflows.
Provides multi-region, scalable infrastructure with 99.9% uptime SLA.
Includes debugging tools and observability features for easier maintenance.

Cons

Pricing is based on usage units which may be complex to estimate for some users.
Self-hosting options require enterprise contact and are not openly detailed.
Free plan limits concurrent browsers and session duration, which may restrict heavy users.
Advanced features like BrowserQL require additional learning and setup.
No direct no-code interface; requires programming knowledge to use APIs.

Developer features

Code compatibility
One-line change. Your automation code stays identical.
Built-in APIs
PDF, screenshot, download APIs built in.
Screenshots and PDFs
Generate screenshots and PDFs from any URL via API. Dynamic content and custom viewports handled out of the box.
Deployment consistency
The APIs, request formats and connection patterns are identical across all three. What changes is who operates the infrastructure and which features come with it.
Linux compatibility
Self-hosting is the right call when you need data sovereignty, an air-gapped environment, or network policies a managed deployment cannot provide. Everything runs on Linux, on amd64 or arm64.
