OpenAI Computer Use
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. The API does not itself supply your application's execution environment.
The research log.
Track dated changes to this independent computer-use dataset.
This is the first documentary research release. Dates describe our verification activity, not product launch dates. We do not invent past update history.
Claude Computer Use
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Anthropic notes latency can exceed ordinary human-directed computer actions.
Gemini Computer Use
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Google labels Computer Use a preview capability and recommends close supervision for important tasks.
Browser Use
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 5 primary URLs. Cloud sessions continue running after CDP disconnect; explicitly stop them to end usage.
Skyvern
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. The public repository uses AGPL-3.0; review the license for your distribution model.
Stagehand
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 4 primary URLs. Model and browser infrastructure costs are separate from the open-source SDK.
Playwright
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 4 primary URLs. Mobile emulation models browser conditions; it is not native iOS or Android application control.
Selenium
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Selenium controls browsers rather than supplying a task-planning model.
Playwright MCP
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. The maintainer explicitly states that Playwright MCP is not a security boundary.
Browserbase
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 4 primary URLs. Browser time and proxy bandwidth are separate meters with plan-specific allowances.
Steel
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 4 primary URLs. Launch has a 15-minute session maximum in the pricing table; longer sessions depend on plan.
Hyperbrowser
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. The public pricing page returned no readable rate table during this research; numeric pricing is withheld.
Anchor Browser
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Agent Access keys have a documented 60-minute session cap.
Browserless
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. The repository states free use for non-commercial uses; do not equate source availability with unrestricted commercial use.
Kernel
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Headless, headful and GPU browser rates are different; select the matching meter.
Airtop
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Credit allowances do not translate to a universal per-task price; task complexity changes consumption.
Agent S by Simular
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Research framework setup, model credentials and execution isolation remain the operator's responsibility.
Browse AI
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Data credits and website limits are part of the plan; an unlimited robot count is not unlimited execution.
Axiom
Initial source verification: 6 documented capability facts and 3 primary URLs. Starter cloud runs have a one-hour single-run cap and one concurrent cloud bot.
