# Browserbase alternatives

> Looking for an alternative to Browserbase? Below are the agent infrastructure in our index that do a similar job — open-source options are ranked by real maintained adoption (GitHub stars and recent commit activity), never by sponsorship. Browserbase is a commercial product, so the list below includes both other commercial options and open-source projects you can self-host.

Browserbase's own profile notes it may not be the right fit if your deployment requires every browser session to run entirely on your own infrastructure. If that's you, the options below are worth comparing.

Every product in the agent infrastructure category is a candidate.
