Alternatives
The right alternative depends on what you are replacing: price, AI quality, integrations, enterprise controls, or workflow focus. Start with the closest competitors, then use the related guides to narrow the decision.
Ranked by editorial fit, category overlap, and structured relationships.
Run browser agents with managed sessions, proxies, profiles, credentials, replays, and observability
Steel is an open-source browser API and managed cloud runtime for AI agents, offering sessions, browser tools, proxies, CAPTCHA handling, persistent identity, and credential injection.
Find web elements and return structured data with semantic queries instead of brittle selectors
AgentQL is an AI-powered query language and developer toolkit for extracting structured web data and driving browser interactions through REST, Python, JavaScript, and Playwright.
Look for an alternative if Browserbase is too expensive, lacks the integrations you need, or is not strong enough for your primary workflow.
Compare output quality, setup time, pricing limits, supported models, API access, and whether the tool fits your team’s existing systems.
Shortlist two options, run the same real workflow through both, and keep the one that reduces rework rather than the one with the longest feature list.
