Pomerado is 12 days old, with no status page or security.txt, and its homepage lists bank and government portals that its builds refuse.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Browser Use\n\n1. Send the key as `X-Browser-Use-API-Key` with no Bearer prefix on the REST API, where a Bearer header returns 401. The MCP server takes `Authorization: Bearer`\n2. Stop browsers with `PATCH /api/v4/browsers/{id}` and `{\"action\":\"stop\"}`. Closing CDP or the SDK client leaves the browser billing\n3. Poll `GET /runs/{id}/status`, not the full run, and wait for the returned Retry-After on 429, which can be 300 seconds at the edge\n4. Before resubmitting after a timeout, read the existing run's status. The server keeps running and may already have submitted a form\n5. With a wallet and no key, call x402.api.browser-use.com on `/api/v2` or `/api/v3` routes, since x402 doesn't take V4 yet. A task stops with INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS if credit runs out\n\n### Pomerado\n\n1. Try public read-only tools at https://mcp.pomerado.ai/mcp/keyless, then use `sign_in` and reconnect at /mcp with the key for writes, logins and builds\n2. Call `find_website_tool` with a query and `site_url`, and check `possible_matches` before starting a build\n3. Send an `idempotency_key` with every run that writes, and on `outcome_unknown` read the website back before calling again\n4. Give the person the job's `answer_url` for website logins and codes. Don't take passwords in chat\n5. Save a run's result when it arrives. It is returned once and erased after 60 minutes if unread\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Browser Use or Pomerado?\n\nBrowser Use scores 80.2 (A) on agent readiness against Pomerado's 62.6 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Pomerado leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Browser Use and Pomerado need an API key?\n\nBrowser Use needs an API key. Pomerado takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. An agent can also pay Browser Use per call over x402, with no account.\n\n### Can an agent call Browser Use and Pomerado without installing anything?\n\nYes. Browser Use has a hosted endpoint at https://api.browser-use.com/api/v4 and Pomerado at https://mcp.pomerado.ai/mcp.\n\n### Are Browser Use and Pomerado open source?\n\nYes. Browser Use is open source (MIT for the open-source library and the SDK. Browser Use Cloud is a proprietary service under Browser Use's terms of service). Pomerado is open source (Pomerado Cloud is a proprietary service under Pomerado's terms of service. The minting core in Pomerado/pomerado and the `pomerado` npm package are MIT from version 0.2.0, and versions 0.1.2 and earlier were AGPL-3.0-only).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/browser-use-vs-pomerado.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/browser-use-vs-pomerado.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"browser-use\", \"b\": \"pomerado\"}`.
