How to apply for Browserless Free Tier

  1. Sign up

    Create a free Browserless account at browserless.io with email or OAuth.

  2. Verify email

    Confirm your email address; free tier is activated immediately.

  3. Generate API key

    Access your dashboard and copy your API token from the credentials section.

  4. Start making requests

    Call Browserless REST endpoints (e.g., /screenshot, /pdf, /scrape) with your API key; 1,000 requests/month are free.

Pro tip: Monitor your monthly request count in the dashboard to avoid surprise overages. Batch requests during off-peak hours if possible, and use Browserless's built-in caching headers to reduce redundant API calls on repeated URLs.

Who should apply — and who shouldn't

Apply if

  • You're building a web scraping, lead-gen, or data-collection product and need to validate demand before investing in infrastructure.
  • Your team lacks DevOps expertise and you want to avoid managing Selenium, Puppeteer, or Playwright servers.
  • You need on-demand PDF generation, screenshot capture, or form automation without provisioning containers.
  • You're testing multiple automation workflows and want to pay only for what you use after the free tier.

Skip if

  • You need more than 1,000 requests/month and are cost-sensitive; paid tiers scale quickly and may exceed your budget.
  • You require on-premise or air-gapped deployment; Browserless is cloud-only.
  • Your use case demands sub-100ms latency or guaranteed SLA; free tier has no uptime guarantee or priority support.

If Browserless Free Tier isn't the right fit, compare it against OVHcloud Startup Program, Pulumi for Startups, ScaleGrid Startup Program, Scaleway Startup Program for NVIDIA Inception Members — or browse the full Cloud Provider Credits category.

Final verdict

Apply — strong program.

Self-serve, perpetual free tier with no approval friction makes this a no-brainer for early-stage startups. 1,000 monthly requests covers light-to-moderate automation testing; if you outgrow it, paid plans are transparent and you've already validated the product.
