Hi, This looks very interesting and I’d love to try it. We have data extraction and enrichment platform. We process over 12 million automations for our users, half of this is done on lambda and rest we try to process in a container. We also utilize 10 GB+ in proxies. I tried to do all the math on how much it would cost on your platform if we do a pilot project but I’m so confused with the pricing. Can you please expl…

Hey - thanks! For your specific example, this is how the math works out: - Browser hours: 10K hours * 60 minutes per hour * 1 credit / minute = 600K credits - Proxy usage: 10GB proxy data * 1024 MB / GB * 6 credits / 1MB proxy data = 61,440 credits The scale plan includes 60K credits for $100/mo and overage credits are ~0.2c each, so the total would be $100 + (601.44 * $0.002) = 1302.88 Sorry about the confusing pric…

That seems like an incredible value on the surface. Great job.

Is it possibile to run the chrome browser with a chrome extension installed that use content script?

Yup! We need to add it to the docs in a day or two but happy to help do it myself. Drop me a line at shri@hyperbrowser.ai!

I'm quite curious, what are people doing with AI-powered browser automation at the moment?

This is such a new capability that I'm having a hard time getting a sense of interesting use cases. I'm quite sure this is more than just a shim for web services which don't expose APIs. But I also wonder whether LLMs are good enough to be trusted with more open-ended tasks at this stage.

Pretty wide variety of use cases tbh - everything from classic scraping on the very simple side to integrating with 3P services that don’t offer APIs, agentic QA testing etc

The companies we’ve seen automatic agentic workflows well typically send a bunch of context to the LLM and somewhat constrain the actions that the model can take. Actually works better than you’d expect :)

This seems like a good option for us. I will write an email to you to discuss this in more detail. Thank you!

Thanks, ScrapingBee has everything I am looking for in terms of functionality. My honest opinion is that most people who are looking for an alternative just want something cheaper. Thats 99% of what I am looking for, at least Things like captcha solving are nice no doubt but for many people, their use cases just aren’t compelling enough to make it worth the ROI. I would love captcha solving, but definitely not at you…

Other cofounder of Hyperbrowser here - thanks for the feedback, and noted! We aim to be pretty competitive on price across the board. Today we're just launching our headless browser service and I think we're significantly less expensive than competitors on that as dbmikus mentioned below Totally hear you on the scraping specific use case without captcha solving etc though - we'll probably launch competitive pricing f…

OK i am waiting to hear what you have in store!

Congrats on launching! > spin up hundreds of browser sessions in secure, isolated environments, with sub-second launch times What tech do you use for this, and where is this hosted?

Just docker containers in GCP and AWS. We do all the instance management ourselves. It seems like you are working on infra for this from your bio! Send me an email would love to chat :)

Wouldn’t hetzner bare metal allow you to do that an order of magnitude cheaper ??

We will definitely look into it! As we are adding more users scalability is our primary concern right now though
