Browse sits in a market where the advertised number and the number you pay are frequently different, because tiers, minimums and expiry all sit between them. Untangling that is most of the work here.
The record we hold
The domain is browse.ai.
Browse is not in our priced record, so nothing about their rate appears below. That gap is stated rather than filled, which is the only honest option available.
Their pricing page will answer three of the four questions that matter. Send an email for the fourth, which is usually whether blocked requests are billed, and keep the reply.
How Browse presents itself
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "Scrape and Monitor Data from Any Website with No Code - Browse AI". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Easily scrape web data, monitor webpage changes, and turn websites into APIs with Browse AI."
The rest of what the page puts in writing:
The product lines named on that page are a scraping or SERP API. The page offers some form of free trial. Their pricing page is titled "Pricing - Browse AI".
Those are claims, and claims are free. They earn their place here only because the date makes them checkable later.
Longevity, on the public record
The domain was registered on 15 December 2017, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 8 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 2 May 2032.
Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.
The shape of their site
Our own crawl reached 958 of their pages, last run 19 June 2026. The mix was 63 blog pages, 1 pricing page, 30 use-case pages and 7 integration pages.
Read it as a map of what they emphasise. It is our count, from our crawler, on the date shown, and it is the only figure on this page that neither of us can dispute.
Signs of life
Our crawl of their site found 953 pages carrying a date, 63 of them articles. The oldest is from July 2025 and the newest from August 2026. 546 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Recent dates prove somebody is still at the keyboard. They prove nothing about the network, which is what the test at the end of this page is for.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
The country total, and the country you use
Almost every provider claims almost every country. What differs is depth, and depth decides whether a single city or a single carrier is usable. No published figure tells you that.
Match the units before anything else
Residential is normally billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, mobile per day or per port. Setting one against another produces a number that means nothing. Convert both sides into the unit your own workload consumes.
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Every provider works when nothing is wrong. The difference shows up on the day a subnet gets flagged or a gateway stops answering. Before committing volume, send one real question through the support channel and time the reply.
What separates them, in a table
The rows that matter, with our own answers stated plainly:
| Question to ask | Browse | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | On their own terms page | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Read their current terms | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Every unfilled cell above is a question to put to them directly, in writing, before money changes hands. Vendors answer those questions readily; comparison sites guess at them.
The ten minute version of this decision
For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.
- Start with the smallest purchase each vendor allows, so the test costs less than the decision it replaces.
- Use your own scraper and your own target. A benchmark against a neutral site measures nothing you will experience.
- Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
- Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
- Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.

- IPBurger alternatives
Our side of it
HProxy suits buyers who want to add funds, send traffic and stop thinking about it. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no commitment, nothing expiring. Buyers who need procurement paperwork and a named account manager are better served elsewhere, and we would rather say so here than waste your afternoon.
