Browserless, routed
through gottem.
Browserless runs managed headless Chrome at scale, a straightforward, battle-tested way to render JavaScript-heavy pages over CDP without operating your own browser fleet. In gottem's catalogue it is the value rung among the browser routes.
Browserless routes, what they cost.
Each row is a routable id in the engine. The price is what gottem bills per successful page on that route. That is gottem's price, not Browserless's list price. The full Cost Ladder has every vendor side by side.
| Route | Tier | Per page | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| browserless.cdp | T8 | $0.010 | 100 cr |
When the ladder picks Browserless.
browserless.cdp sits at T8 for $0.010 a page, half the price of the T9 browser rungs. The ladder picks it when a page needs real Chrome rendering but not the stealth or agent capabilities of the heavier routes.
Pin Browserless when you need it.
By default picks the route; pass force_provider when a workflow needs Browserless specifically, for parity testing, compliance, or vendor-native options via provider_options.

}'Already pay Browserless directly?
Bring your own key. Add your Browserless credential once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and routes through your account instead of the pooled key. You pay Browserless directly; gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup. See the pricing FAQ for how BYOK billing works.
Questions.
- Is gottem a Browserless alternative?
- No. gottem isn't a replacement for Browserless. It routes through Browserless alongside 13+ other scraping vendors and picks it whenever it's the best fit for the page. If you already use Browserless, gottem adds automatic failover, per-domain routing memory, and one response shape on top of it.
- What does Browserless cost per page through gottem?
- Browserless's route (browserless.cdp) is listed at $0.010 a page, which is gottem's price for a successful page on that route. Failed attempts bill at the $0.000001 minimum, effectively free.
- How does browserless.cdp compare to the T9 browser routes?
- Same real-Chrome rendering, lower price, fewer stealth features. The ladder tries it before Browserbase or Browser Use, so you only pay for stealth when the page demands it.
- Can I bring my own Browserless key?
- Yes. Add it once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and gottem routes through your Browserless account: you pay Browserless directly and gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup.
