💡 Our Take
Choose Browser Use if you want an open-source agent framework with custom-trained LLMs and the option to run locally without cloud lock-in. Choose Browserbase if you only need managed cloud browser infrastructure (no agent layer) and prefer a more polished developer experience with session recording, debugging tools, and a focus on infrastructure rather than AI agent logic. Browser Use includes the agent layer; Browserbase is infrastructure-only, so you bring your own agent code.
