Free tier	Free plan at USD 0 a month, no card required: 1,000 units a month, 2 max concurrent browsers, 2-minute max session time, 1 day of persisted sessions and replays, consumer-connection proxies at 6 units per MB and datacenter at 2 units per MB, automatic human-verification handling, and Chrome, WebKit and Firefox on San Francisco, London and Amsterdam endpoints. One unit is a block of browser time of up to 30 seconds per browser connection unit mixed; metered on wall-clock; 1,000 units at up to 30 s each is 8.3 browser hours a month, and the 2-minute session cap forces a new connection per 2 minutes. Paid plans are Prototyping USD 25, Starter USD 140 and a USD 350 tier above those
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not published
Egress	proxies priced separately
Identity	email the free plan needs an email signup and no card; a paid plan needs a payment method
Limits	request-rate 2 concurrent browsers on Free, 10 on Prototyping, 40 on Starter source retention-clamped 2-minute maximum session time on Free; session reconnects bill a fresh unit source per-object-cap consumer-connection proxy is 6 units per MB and datacenter 2 units per MB, drawn from the same 1,000-unit pool source the entry paid plan is USD 350 a month, and the free plan is not a trial: it renews monthly with no card
Binding	retention-clamped the 2-minute session cap and the unit-per-reconnect rule bind before the 1,000-unit pool does, because a crawl that needs a longer session pays twice for the same page
Interface	unknown a hosted Chromium over CDP or a REST endpoint
Tooling	Playwright and Puppeteer over CDP; a REST API
Composes with	none at this price: a crawl that can use a USD 19 plan should
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The USD 350 tier is above Prototyping and Starter, not below them. The row is a small free allowance rather than a paid-only row.

Free tier	1,000 units a month, no card, 2 concurrent browsers, 2 minutes maximum session unit requests; metered on request-count
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable: the unit is browser time
Retention	unit is 30 seconds of browser connection; longer runs bill another unit
Egress	1 day of persisted sessions and replays on Free
Identity	email no card required, stated on the Free plan
Limits	request-rate 1 unit per 30 seconds of browser connection; 1,000 units is about 8.3 hours a month source request-rate 2 concurrent browsers and a 2 minute maximum session on Free source per-object-cap a consumer-connection proxy costs 6 units a megabyte, a datacenter proxy 2, handling one human-verification step 10 source retention-clamped a unit is 30 seconds of browser connection and a Free session ends at 2 minutes, so it is the session length and not the request count that caps the work source the 30-second unit and the 2-minute maximum session bind first: 1,000 units is about 8.3 browser-hours a month and no single session may run past 2 minutes
Binding	retention-clamped
Interface	rest REST and WebSocket; BrowserQL; crawls are a job plus a poll
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	Reserve lane behind Browser Rendering; the only third-party browser with a recurring monthly grant and no card
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The unit is time, not pages, so a fast page is cheap and a slow one is not. 1,000 units is 8.3 hours of browser time a month, which is more than it reads as.
Evidence rung	documented pricing page read; the 1,000 units a month figure is stated on the page
