Anchor Browser

Anchor Browser provides cloud browsers built for AI agents, with the reliability, residential IPs and observability that agent workloads demand.

Overview

AI agents need browsers that are fast to launch, hard to block and easy to debug. Anchor delivers managed headless browsers with global residential proxies, CAPTCHA solving, session persistence and per-session recording, all exposed through APIs that Playwright and agent frameworks already understand.

Anchor is designed for agent-scale workloads: parallel sessions spin up in seconds, sessions can pause and resume, and usage is metered so costs track real work. Teams use it for agentic scraping, web automation, testing and customer-facing agents that operate third-party sites. Sessions can be paused and resumed across long tasks, and recordings capture every run for later debugging. Integration with standard browser protocols means existing automation code migrates with minimal changes.

Key Features

• Managed cloud browsers with sub-second session launch
• Residential proxy network and CAPTCHA solving built in
• Session persistence, pause and resume across runs
• Per-session video recording and DOM capture for debugging
• Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium compatibility
• Agent-friendly APIs and MCP server integration
• Usage-based metering with parallel session scaling

Pricing

Anchor offers a free trial with starter usage credits. Paid plans are metered on browser time and proxy bandwidth, with volume tiers and enterprise agreements that include dedicated capacity, SLAs and support. Metered billing keeps costs proportional to real browser time, and the free trial is generous enough to validate a full use case.

Who Is It For

Anchor is for developers and teams building agents, scrapers and automations that run browsers at scale. It removes the operational burden of maintaining browser fleets, which suits startups and platform teams alike. Platform teams value removing browser fleet maintenance, which is unglamorous work that quietly consumes engineering capacity.

FAQ

Is Anchor Browser free to use?

Yes, new users can start with a free trial that includes usage credits to evaluate the platform. Sustained production workloads move to metered paid plans.

Does Anchor Browser offer an API?

Anchor is API-first: browsers are created and controlled programmatically via REST and standard browser protocols, so any language or framework can drive them.

How does Anchor Browser compare to alternatives?

Anchor competes with general-purpose browser infrastructure providers by focusing on agent workloads specifically, adding session control, recordings and agent integrations. It is more specialized than running browsers on generic cloud VMs and considerably less work. Anchor is the pragmatic choice for agent workloads at scale; hobbyists running a few sessions can usually get by with local browsers instead.
