Open-source alternatives to Browser Use

Browser Use's core library is itself open source (MIT), but the company also sells a paid Cloud service for scaled, stealth-enabled browser automation with managed infrastructure. If what you're trying to avoid is that hosted layer — and the usage-based cost that comes with it — the alternatives below give you a fully self-hosted path instead.

Skyvern is the closer match for general AI-driven browser automation, using computer vision to navigate workflows. Passmark is more narrowly focused on AI-driven Playwright regression testing described in plain English, which is a different use case than general-purpose web automation.

FAQ

Is there a free, open-source alternative to Browser Use's Cloud service?

Yes. Skyvern and Passmark are both open source and can be self-hosted instead of using a paid cloud API.

What's the best open-source alternative to Browser Use's hosted offering?

Skyvern is the closer match for general-purpose AI browser automation. Passmark is the better pick if your actual need is AI-assisted Playwright test generation and maintenance rather than open-ended web automation.
