What this price does and does not cover

Managed browser and execution infrastructure. Agents can use computer controls, CDP, WebDriver BiDi, or Playwright execution; profiles and managed authentication maintain the browser state around those actions.

The entry amount is a plan or licensing snapshot, not a guarantee of the cost to complete a task. Browser runtime, model tokens, proxy bandwidth and retries can add separate charges. Check the source for included credits, billing intervals and regional taxes before purchasing.

We suppress current price displays once verification is more than 14 days old. We do not replace missing rates with zero.

Included browser and proxy allowances are deducted where documented. Retries, caching, long-context tiers, tax and credit-based overages are not modeled. Model selection prices an assumption; it does not verify integration compatibility.
