When should I use Anchor vs. a local browser automation tool?

Use Anchor for scalable, persistent, and secure browser tasks requiring managed auth, stealth, or parallel sessions. Local tools (like raw Playwright) are better for simple, isolated scripts.

How does pricing work?

You pay a base monthly fee for credits (which cover tasks) plus per-use costs for browser duration, proxy bandwidth, and AI steps. Overage is charged per credit.

OmniConnect is Anchor's managed authentication infrastructure. It handles end-to-end login, session persistence, and token management for web applications your agents need to access.

How does the 'Web Action Cache' work?

The cache stores successful browser interaction flows as deterministic code. On subsequent runs, it replays these actions directly, avoiding costly and unreliable AI inference unless the site layout changes.

Can I use my own AI model instead of Anchor's?

Yes, the 'Bring your own cloud' feature allows deploying Anchor in your environment and connecting it to your own inference provider for task planning and execution.

Is it truly undetectable as a bot?

Anchor Chromium and the stealth mode use advanced fingerprinting, human-like behaviors, and are Web-Bot-Auth verified. However, no solution is 100% undetectable against all sophisticated systems.

Directory/Automation/AI Agents/Anchor Browser

Anchor Browser

Anchor Browser provides a cloud-hosted, human-like browser environment for AI agents to interact with the web. It delivers fully managed Chromium instances with built-in authentication, stealth, and proxy management, allowing agents to navigate sites, submit forms, and extract data as humans would. The platform is designed for enterprise-grade automation, emphasizing security, scalability, and reliability for tasks without traditional APIs. Key capabilities include managed authentication (OmniConnect), anti-bot detection bypass (Anchor Chromium), and deterministic workflow execution via an AI agent that plans tasks. It integrates via SDK, MCP, or REST APIs. Target users are developers and teams building SaaS products, service automation, or enterprise workflows that require AI to operate complex web interfaces.
