BlitzBrowser vs. Hyperbrowser

Building AI Agents that need to scale? Hyperbrowser.ai is a great tool, but their credit-based system can be complicated and can quickly lead to a bill surprise.

BlitzBrowser provides the same high-performance browser infrastructure with a focus on simplicity. A flatlat hourly rate and cheaper premium residential proxies.

Comparison

Cost Efficiency

With Hyperbrowser you buy credits and then your usage consume the credits. 100 credits represent 1 hour of browser and 10 000 credits are 1 GB of residential proxy usage.

With BlitzBrowser you pay per use. You pay only for the duration (0.09$/h) of the connection to the browser and a flat price of 2$/GB for the premium residential proxy.

Example

Let's see the price difference between Hyperbrowser and BlitzBrowser with an example. If you connect 10 000 times per month with an average duration of 36 seconds per connection and an average of 2 MB per connection

• 10 000 connections per month.
• Average duration per connection of 36 seconds.
• Average residential proxy usage of 2 MB per connection.

On Hyperbrowser, you will pay 210$/month for the Scale plan. 36 seconds per connection is 1 credit, which is 10 000 credits for 10 000 connections. 2 MB per connection is 20 credits, which is 200 000 credits for 10 000 connections.

On BlitzBrowser, you will pay 49$/month. 36 seconds per connection is a total of 100 hours for 10 000 connections, which is 9$. 2 MB per connection is a total of 20 GB for 10 000 connections, which is 40$.

The cost difference between Hyperbrowser and BlitzBrowser is big. For the same requirements, you can reduce your monthly bill by 76% by migrating to BlitzBrowser.

How to migrate to BlitzBrowser

Migrating your code from Hyperbrowser to BlitzBrowser is super easy. You just have to change the Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoint. It is 1 line of code for Puppeteer and Playwright.

import { Hyperbrowser } from "@hyperbrowser/sdk";
import { chromium } from "playwright-core";

const client = new Hyperbrowser({
  apiKey: process.env.HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY,
});

const session = await client.sessions.create({
  acceptCookies: true,
});

// Connect Playwright
const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(session.wsEndpoint);

// Playwright
import { chromium } from 'playwright';

const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(
    `wss://cdp.blitzbrowser.com?accessKey=${process.env.BLITZBROWSER_ACCESS_KEY}`
);

// Puppeteer
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';

const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
    browserWSEndpoint: `wss://cdp.blitzbrowser.com?accessKey=${process.env.BLITZBROWSER_ACCESS_KEY}`
});

Conclusion

76% monthly bill reduction by migrating from Hyperbrowser to BlitzBrowser with a single line of code changed.
