Collection notes
Browser sessions are metered by the second out of a monthly pool of browser hours; the Builder overage is a per-hour rate. Enterprise is custom and not modelled. The Cloud also offers a Chrome backend, which the pages do not price separately. The remote MCP endpoint takes an account token in its URL and the pages do not name the authentication method, so no MCP fact is recorded.
Sources and notes
Each number points to the provider's own sentence, as it appears on the page on the date shown.
Browser hours are the total time your sessions stay open, metered by the second and summed over your billing period
The pool and the rate are in browser hours; the time is metered by the second and summed over the billing period, and whether each session is rounded up is not stated.
datacenter : a pool of shared datacenter IPs with automatic rotation. Accepts an optional country parameter (two-letter country code) to target a specific country.
The shared datacenter proxy takes an optional two-letter country code; the list of countries is not given.
A CDP connection closes after 15 minutes, whatever your pool has left, so split long jobs across sessions.
Stated for a CDP connection and for every plan; an MCP session also closes after 5 minutes without a request.
On Lightpanda Cloud, you can also use a shared proxy we provide instead.
Lightpanda supports using your own proxy, both locally and on Lightpanda Cloud.
A shared proxy is available on the Cloud; the pages give no price or traffic allowance for it.
