  • Purpose-built for production browser agents rather than simple scraping only
  • Useful for GTM workflows that need live, dynamic, authenticated web access
  • Strong observability and debugging with live view and session recordings
  • Generous concurrency on paid plans compared with self-hosting browser fleets

cons
