Is agent-browser free to use?

Yes - it is Apache-2.0 licensed, so it is free for commercial use with attribution.

Do I need a paid API to use it?

Browser control runs locally and is free; you only pay if you pair it with a hosted model API.

How does it compare to browser-use?

agent-browser is a Rust CLI you shell out to; browser-use is a Python library you embed. Pick the CLI for language-agnostic pipelines, the library for deep Python integration.

Where should I start?

The README and the official docs site are the fastest path: run the quickstart example first, then adapt it to your use case.
