## AI Agent Task Pricing
## Agent Pricing (v3 — Token-Based)

v3 is the current agent API. Each task incurs a \$0.01 initialization fee plus token-based costs.

| Model | Input per 1M tokens | Output per 1M tokens |
| ----- | ------------------- | -------------------- |
| BU Mini (Gemini 3 Flash) | ~\$0.72 | ~\$4.20 |
| BU Max (Claude Sonnet 4.6) | ~\$3.60 | ~\$18.00 |

Task pricing consists of two components:
---

1. **Task Initialization Cost**: \$0.01 per started task
2. **Task Step Cost**: Additional cost based on the specific model used for each step
## Agent Pricing (v2 — Per-Step)

### LLM Model Step Pricing
Our v2 agent uses flat per-step pricing. Each step is one agent action (click, type, navigate, extract). Each task incurs a \$0.01 initialization fee plus per-step costs.

| Model | API String | Cost per Step |

### Example Cost Calculation

Using Browser Use 2.0 for a 10 step task:

- Task initialization: \$0.01
- 10 steps x \$0.006 per step = \$0.06
- **Total cost: \$0.07**

Using Browser Use LLM for a 10 step task:

- Task initialization: \$0.01
- 10 steps x \$0.002 per step = \$0.02
- **Total cost: \$0.03** (~33 tasks per dollar)

## V3 API Pricing (Token-Based)

V3 uses token-based billing instead of flat per-step costs.

| Model | Input per 1M | Output per 1M |
| ----- | ------------ | ------------- |
| BU Mini (Gemini 3 Flash) | ~\$0.72 | ~\$4.20 |
| BU Max (Claude Sonnet 4.6) | ~\$3.60 | ~\$18.00 |

Includes a 1.2x markup over raw provider costs. Task initialization (\$0.01) and browser sessions are billed separately.

---

## Browser Session Pricing

Browser sessions (direct CDP access) are billed separately from AI agent tasks. **Business and Scaleup subscribers get 50% off browser session costs.**

| Plan | Hourly Rate | Per Minute |
| ---- | ----------- | ---------- |
| Pay As You Go | \$0.06/hour | \$0.001/min |
| Business/Scaleup | \$0.03/hour | \$0.0005/min |

| Item | Details |
| ---- | ------- |
| Minimum charge | 1 minute |
| Billing | Charged upfront |
| Refunds | Proportional refund when stopped early |

### How Browser Session Billing Works

1. **Upfront charge**: Full amount charged when session starts based on timeout duration
2. **Proportional refund**: Unused time refunded when you stop the session
3. **Minimum billing**: At least 1 minute is charged

**Example (Pay As You Go)**: You start a 60-minute session (\$0.06 charged). You stop after 30 minutes. You receive a \$0.03 refund.

**Example (Business)**: Same scenario costs only \$0.03 upfront, with \$0.015 refund for unused time.

### Timeout Limits

All plans support up to **4 hours (240 minutes)** per browser session.
Browser sessions (direct CDP access) are billed separately from agent tasks. \$0.06/hour (\$0.001/min), charged upfront with a proportional refund when stopped early. Minimum charge is 1 minute, max session is 4 hours.

| ---- | ------------- | ---------------- |

| Skill refinement | Free | Free |
| Minimum balance to create | \$2.00 | \$2.00 |
| Minimum balance to execute | \$0.10 | \$0.10 |

| Skill creation | \$2.00 per skill |
| Skill execution | \$0.02 per API call |

1. **Upfront charge**: Charged when you start creating a skill
2. **Refund on cancellation**: Full refund if you cancel before generation completes
3. **Refinements are free**: Iterating on an existing skill costs nothing
Refund on cancellation if generation hasn't completed. Refinements are always free.

| Scaleup | \$4/GB (60% off) |
