1,000 free monthly headless browser requests—no infrastructure to manage.

Browserless gives you a managed headless Chrome/Firefox instance via REST API. You get 1,000 requests per month free, enough to handle web scraping, PDF generation, screenshots, and basic automation without spinning up your own browser infrastructure. It's genuinely plug-and-play: hit their endpoint, get results. The free tier is real and doesn't require a credit card. Gotcha: requests reset monthly, so you can't bank them, and anything beyond 1,000 hits their paid tier pretty fast if you're doing serious scraping. Best for early-stage teams doing light automation work or testing before committing to a paid plan.
