The Hyperbrowser alternative that avoids bot detection on every plan
Hyperbrowser limits its strongest stealth mode to Enterprise plans and puts proxies and CAPTCHA solving behind a paid plan. Browserless includes stealth, proxies, and CAPTCHA solving on the free tier.
Browserless
Browser infrastructure for web scraping, browser automation, and AI agents, with stealth, residential proxies, and CAPTCHA solving available from the free plan. Self-hosted deployment is available when compliance with data regulations requires it.

Hyperbrowser
A cloud browser platform built around AI agents, with HyperAgent, an official MCP server, and scrape, crawl, and extract APIs. Ultra Stealth Mode is reserved for Enterprise, while proxies and CAPTCHA solving are only available if you pay.
Browserless vs. Hyperbrowser: how they compare
Both platforms connect Puppeteer or Playwright to a remote browser. Here's where they differ once you start encountering serious bot detection on the pages you want to crawl.
Hyperbrowser details reflect its published documentation and pricing as of September 2026. Check Hyperbrowser's current pages before deciding.
Where Browserless goes further
Hyperbrowser is built around AI agents. Browserless runs the same browser workloads, AI agents included, and keeps its core anti-bot features on every plan, including free. Upgrading adds units, concurrency, and session length, plus extras like bring-your-own proxies.
externalProxyServer parameter from the Prototyping plan. Hyperbrowser limits custom proxy servers to Enterprise.Connect Browserless with your AI agents
Hyperbrowser ships its own agent layer. Browserless gives your agents a managed browser, including a stateful browser agent through MCP, and works with the agent framework you already use.
Moving from Hyperbrowser to Browserless
If you're already writing code against Hyperbrowser's SDK, moving to Browserless is a change of connection, not a change of approach.
Swap the session call for a URL
Hyperbrowser creates a session through its SDK and returns a wsEndpoint. Browserless connects straight to a WebSocket URL.
Move the flags into the URL
Session flags such as useStealth, useProxy, and solveCaptchas become route and query parameters: /stealth, proxy=residential, and solveCaptchas=true.
Test on the free tier
Run your migrated script on the free plan and compare results side by side before you commit to a paid plan.
Both snippets open a stealth session through a US residential proxy with CAPTCHA solving on, load a page, and print its title. The Hyperbrowser version needs a paid plan for the proxy and CAPTCHA flags, while the Browserless version runs on the free plan.
BeforeHyperbrowser (settings as session flags)
import { connect } from "puppeteer-core";
import { Hyperbrowser } from "@hyperbrowser/sdk";
const client = new Hyperbrowser({ apiKey: process.env.HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY });
const session = await client.sessions.create({
useStealth: true,
useProxy: true,
proxyCountry: "US",
solveCaptchas: true,
});
try {
const browser = await connect({ browserWSEndpoint: session.wsEndpoint, defaultViewport: null });
const [page] = await browser.pages();
await page.goto("https://example.com");
console.log(await page.title());
await browser.close();
} finally {
await client.sessions.stop(session.id);
}AfterBrowserless (same settings in the connection URL)
import puppeteer from "puppeteer-core";
const TOKEN = process.env.BROWSERLESS_TOKEN;
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
browserWSEndpoint: `wss://production-sfo.browserless.io/stealth?token=${TOKEN}&solveCaptchas=true&proxy=residential&proxyCountry=us`,
});
try {
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto("https://example.com");
console.log(await page.title());
} finally {
await browser.close();
}If you use Hyperbrowser's scrape, crawl, or extract APIs, Browserless's REST API covers similar ground: /smart-scrape returns HTML, Markdown, or links from one call, /crawl walks a site and returns Markdown by default, and /screenshot and /pdf handle captures. Use /content or /scrape when you want rendered HTML or selector-based structured data.
