How we checked: Once a day we call each listing’s example endpoint without paying and read the HTTP 402 reply: whether it answered, whether the reply is a valid x402 payment request, the price and network it asks for, and how long it took. The two endpoints are different products (Browserbase’s POST /search is a per-request web search; Browser Use’s POST /api/v3/sessions starts a cloud browser session), so the prices are not like for like. Raw data: api.youraitools.co/stats/v1/listings/browserbase and /browser-use. Confirm prices with each provider before paying.
