Hosted cloud API option alongside the free library
Active open-source community and development
Cloud-hosted Chrome browsers with full JavaScript rendering, headed or headless

Scheduled or on-demand runs for recurring web research
Open-source codebase you can self-host on your own infrastructure
Pros
Free, open-source core with an active development community
Became a genuine infrastructure standard other tools build on
Handles real browser interaction, not just simulated API calls
Free self-hosting removes per-task fees if you can run the infrastructure
Prebuilt roles shorten setup compared with building automations from scratch
Real browser rendering copes with JavaScript-heavy sites that simple scrapers miss
Cons
Requires development skills, not a point-and-click tool
Very new company with a correspondingly short track record
Browser automation can still break on complex or unusual page layouts
Per-task overage on hosted plans adds up for high-volume workflows
Founded in 2025, so the hosted product has a short track record
Self-hosting needs engineering time to set up and maintain
