Evidence-backed decision brief

Which AI agent fits a browser automation workflow?

Compare Browser Use and Skyvern across pricing, browser capabilities, deployment, enterprise controls, data policy, integrations, and execution evidence.

Decision context · Engineering and operations teams evaluating governed web-task automation
Candidate inclusion rule

Included when the product is a maintained developer-oriented browser Agent for multi-step web tasks, with public first-party documentation and enough evidence to assess the listed decision requirements. The current cohort is Browser Use and Skyvern; inclusion is not a ranking or claim that no other product qualifies.

Foundation Release

This comparison describes available evidence. “Unverified” means no matching accepted evidence—not that a feature is unavailable. It is not a universal ranking, score, recommendation, or purchasing decision.

Pricing

Browser Use documents hourly browser-session rates for pay-as-you-go and subscribed users.

Source-Backed

Skyvern documents Free, Hobby, Pro, and custom Enterprise credit-based plans with different concurrency, authentication, integration, and compliance features. Buyers should verify current prices before purchase.

Source-Backed
Deployment

Browser Use documents both cloud operation and integration of its cloud service.

Source-Backed

Skyvern documents self-hosting with Docker Compose and Kubernetes. The source does not establish backup, proxy, scaling, or update responsibilities.

Source-Backed
Capabilities

Browser Use Cloud runs browser automation tasks through its documented API workflow.

Source-Backed

Skyvern documents LLM- and computer-vision-based browser workflows for navigation, forms, extraction, and multi-step tasks through an API. These are provider capabilities, not execution verification.

Source-Backed
Enterprise controls

Browser Use documents runtime controls for allowed domains, disabled default extensions, sensitive-data filtering, and Azure OpenAI configuration. This source does not establish organization-wide RBAC or audit logs.

Source-Backed

Skyvern documents organization-scoped external credential providers and identifies Bitwarden integration as an Enterprise-plan feature. This source does not establish full RBAC or audit logging.

Source-Backed
Privacy & data policy

Browser Use states that service inputs may be used for model training and that content may be disclosed to LLM and other service providers; customer agreements can govern processor handling separately.

Source-Backed

Skyvern documents that MCP processing can include prompts, URLs, page content, screenshots, files, workflows, browser artifacts, credentials, and session state, and that service operation may store related run data. This is not a complete retention schedule.

Source-Backed
Integrations

Browser Use provides a documented command-line interface for agent/browser workflows.

Source-Backed

Skyvern documents connecting to Zapier, creating or running tasks and agents, retrieving results, and authenticating with a Skyvern API key. This does not establish support for every Zapier app or action.
