Browse AI review (2026): pricing, credits, pros and cons

What Browse AI is

Browse AI is a no-code web scraping and monitoring platform. You train a robot by pointing at the data on a page, and it extracts that data into a spreadsheet, re-runs on a schedule, follows pagination and infinite scroll, logs in where you have access, chains with other robots to go from a list page into every detail page, and alerts you when something changes. The company says more than 770,000 people use it, that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR and CCPA compliant, and that it maintains more than 250 prebuilt robots for popular sites; the user count is its own figure.

For cold email it is a list-building engine rather than a finder. A directory of agencies, a job board, a marketplace category or a conference exhibitor list becomes a live table of companies and names, refreshed automatically, that you then enrich and verify before sending.

Browse AI pricing

Plans are priced in credits, and one credit extracts 10 rows from a page or captures one screenshot; tasks on sites Browse AI classes as premium cost at least 2 to 10 credits. The free plan gives 50 credits a month across 2 websites and 3 users, with no card. Personal is $19 a month billed yearly for 12,000 credits a year, or $38 for 24,000, across 5 websites. Professional is $69 a month billed yearly for 60,000 credits a year, rising through $129 and $239 to $319 for 360,000, across 10 websites and 10 users with priority support. Premium is a managed service from $500 a month, billed yearly, where Browse AI builds and maintains the robots and promises deployment in 10 days.

Monthly billing changes the picture. Personal costs $48 a month for 2,000 credits a month, and Professional $87 for 5,000 a month, so a year paid up front is about a fifth cheaper per credit and far cheaper per month. Extra websites cost $4 to $5 a month on Personal and $2.40 to $3 on Professional, and extra credits run from roughly 2.4 cents each on Personal down to 1.3 cents at the top of Professional. Unused credits reset at the end of each cycle. The terms say cancellation takes effect immediately with no proration, and the help centre’s refund policy promises full refunds for renewals left unused within 60 days, or within 30 days if the software could not be made to work and support could not resolve it.

How it works

Open the page you want, pick the rows and columns, and the robot learns the pattern; it can also be given parameters so one robot searches many terms or locations. Deep scraping chains robots: one collects every listing URL, the next visits each and pulls the details. Monitoring re-runs a robot hourly, daily or weekly and emails or webhooks the difference. Results sync to Google Sheets or Airtable, push through webhooks or the REST API, land in Amazon S3, or flow into Zapier, Make and Pabbly for anything else. The feature table lists residential proxies and bot-evasion retries on every plan, which matters on sites that block scrapers.

Limits and rules

Credits are the constraint. A 1,000-row scrape of a plain site costs 100 credits; the same on a premium site can cost several times more, and a monitoring robot spends credits on every run, so size the plan to the refresh rate you really need. Websites are capped per plan. And the output is names, companies and URLs, not emails: Browse AI does no finding or verification. Finally, many sites prohibit scraping in their terms, LinkedIn among them, and personal data is covered by privacy law in most countries, so keep to business contact data on sites that permit it and respect rate limits.

Who Browse AI is for, and who should look elsewhere

Browse AI suits teams that need recurring, structured scrapes from directories, marketplaces or job boards delivered to a sheet or an API, and are happy to prepay a year. It is a poor fit for one-off list grabs, where a free extension does the job, and for anyone expecting email addresses to come out of a scraper. Instant Data Scraper is the free one-off alternative, and for turning scraped names into addresses ContactOut and SignalHire are the finders we have reviewed with the lowest per-contact prices. The lead data category lists every tool with its score, and our verification tool reviews cover the step that comes next.

Using Browse AI with PureMail

Browse AI builds the source list; your sending inboxes carry the reputation. Scrape the directory into a sheet, find and verify the emails, then load the clean list into the sequencer that the Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 inboxes PureMail sets up for cold email are connected to, with daily limits set for warm sending. Let a monitoring robot add new rows as the source changes, and treat every new batch as a fresh list that needs verifying before it goes out.
