Credit rates for browser time, proxy traffic and AI calls are not published, and the developer changelog's last entry is dated 3 September 2025.\n\n**Notte.** Notte publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 contract for 100 operations, a hosted MCP server with eight tools and OAuth, and a free plan with $10 of credits and no card. Its status page records about six hours of Scrape API downtime in 90 days, and a bot check blocked our read of the terms and privacy policy.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Airtop\n\n1. Terminate every session with `DELETE /v1/sessions/{id}`. Sessions bill in 30-second increments and idle ones last 10 minutes by default\n2. Set `costThresholdCredits` on AI calls and read `meta.usage.credits` afterwards. Credit rates are not published, so measure them\n3. Use `page-query` with `configuration.outputSchema` for structured output. `prompt-content` and `summarize-content` are deprecated\n4. When calling REST without the SDK, poll session status until `running` before creating a window. Only the SDK waits for you\n5. Airtop's integrated proxy cannot reach LinkedIn, ticketing sites and some banks and streaming services. Bring a custom proxy for those\n\n### Notte\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer $NOTTE_API_KEY` to https://api.notte.cc. A person creates the key in the console at console.notte.cc first\n2. Stop every session when the task ends. Sessions close after 3 idle minutes or 15 minutes in total by default, and the Free plan caps a session at 15 minutes\n3. Use https://api.notte.cc/mcp for browser work. Function and agent administration tools are only on https://api.notte.cc/mcp/full\n4. Back off on 429 and on 529, which means the cluster has too many sessions. The SDKs do not retry rate limits for you\n5. Download session replays within 24 hours. The recordings page says they are deleted after that\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Airtop or Notte?\n\nNotte scores 63.2 (B) on agent readiness against Airtop's 55.3 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Airtop leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Airtop and Notte need an API key?\n\nAirtop needs an API key. Notte takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Airtop and Notte without installing anything?\n\nYes. Airtop has a hosted endpoint at https://api.airtop.ai/api and Notte at https://api.notte.cc.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/airtop-vs-notte.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/airtop-vs-notte.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"airtop\", \"b\": \"notte\"}`.
