Steel Browser

Steel is browser infrastructure for AI agents, delivered as an API that starts and controls cloud browsers. Each session is a real browser that launches in under a second and is released when the work finishes, so agents can navigate, click, type and read the web without the developer running a browser fleet. The underlying Steel Browser project is open source and published on GitHub, and it can be self hosted. The platform is aimed at engineers building AI agents, web scraping pipelines, browser based automation for apps with no API, QA testing in real browsers, price monitoring, form filling and deep research workflows. Sessions are controlled programmatically, and the vendor lists a stealth browser, proxy bandwidth, CAPTCHA solving and a scrape tool among its offerings. Enterprise plans add reserved browser pools, longer sessions and support and uptime SLAs. Pricing is published. The Launch plan costs $0 per month plus usage and includes a one time $30 credit, 10 concurrent sessions, sessions up to 15 minutes and up to 3 seats. The Scale plan costs $250 per month plus usage and includes $100 of credits each month, 100 concurrent sessions, sessions up to 1 hour, unlimited seats, SSO and a HIPAA ready BAA. Enterprise pricing is custom. Usage rates on Launch are $0.10 per browser hour, $10 per GB of proxy bandwidth, $3 per 1,000 CAPTCHA solves and $5 per 1,000 scrapes, with lower rates on Scale.
