Browse AI

Browse AI's pricing page leads with "From $19/mo" for Personal and "From $69/mo" for Professional, but those are the annual-prepay prices. Billed annually, Personal is $19/month ($228 upfront for the year) with 12,000 credits for the year; billed monthly, the same Personal tier is $48/month with 2,000 credits every month (24,000/year) — double the annual plan's yearly credit pool. Professional follows the same pattern: $69/month billed annually ($828/year, 60,000 credits/year) versus $87/month billed monthly (5,000 credits/month, also 60,000/year, so the credit gap that hits Personal doesn't apply here). The vendor's own FAQ describes the annual option only as "a 20% discount" for prepaying a year; the actual gap on Personal is closer to 60% off the monthly sticker price. Free stays simple: $0, 50 credits/month, 2 domains, 3 users, no card required. Premium starts at $500/month billed annually for custom limits and a dedicated account manager.

Browse AI is built by Browse AI Inc., founded in January 2020 by a self-funded two-person team that went through Startup Edmonton's Propel pre-accelerator before an accelerator program in San Francisco in 2021. It launched publicly on Product Hunt in September 2021, took its first outside investment from Angels of Many in February 2022, and a second from Zapier in August 2022 after Zapier staff became users and championed it internally. The company says it hit breakeven at 250,000 users and raised $2.8M in August 2023 from a group of angel investors that included co-founders of Dropbox, DoorDash, Blinkist, Pitch, and Nasty Gal. As of 2026 it reports more than 800,000 users, 9B+ data records delivered, and 1,500+ businesses on the platform — vendor-published figures we could not independently check. The company is clearly active, not stalled: its pricing, trust center, and product pages are all current for 2026, and its published roadmap moved from a browser extension (pre-2024) to a full cloud platform (2024) to Premium managed services (2025) to a 9-billion-record milestone (early 2026).

Browse AI publishes SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA badges on its pricing and about pages, and operates a real Trust Center at trust.browse.ai (Vanta-hosted) where a prospective buyer can request the actual SOC 2 report rather than just see a badge. Browse AI is closed-source: it ships as a hosted dashboard plus a Chrome extension for recording "robots," and no public GitHub organization or repository for the core product was found, so there's no open-source license to weigh — access is governed by its Terms of Service.

The scale numbers in this listing — 9B+ data records, 800,000+ users, 1,500+ businesses, and a 4.9/5 average rating — are all Browse AI's own figures, taken from its about-us and pricing pages. We could not check the rating or review volume on G2 or Capterra. Treat "4.9/5" as vendor-reported, corroborated only by the G2 "Easiest Admin," "High Performer," and "Small Business Leader" (Data Extraction category) badges Browse AI displays on its own homepage, not by a pulled G2 score.
