Our take
Pick Anchor Browser if teams automating SaaS portals who will pay $0.10/successful task or infrastructure. Pick Browserbase if teams that need a fleet of headless browsers and will pay for concurrent sessions. Skip Anchor Browser if people who want a hosted general agent (Manus) or a local MIT SDK only (Stagehand). Skip Browserbase if people who only want URL → markdown (Firecrawl) or a search-credit API (Tavily).
