No opt-out was found in the reviewed pages\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Lightpanda | TinyFish | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 65 | 60 | Lightpanda +5 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 82 | 85 | TinyFish +3 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 75 | 79 | TinyFish +4 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 46 | 57 | TinyFish +11 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 40 | 55 | TinyFish +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 73 | 80 | TinyFish +7 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 65 | 59 | Lightpanda +6 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -2 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **61.6 · C** | **67.7 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Lightpanda | TinyFish |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | MCP server | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Selecy SAS (Lightpanda) | TinyFish |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://agent.tinyfish.ai` |\n| Transports | stdio, Streamable HTTP, SSE (legacy) | HTTP |\n| Auth | None | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | AGPL-3.0 for the browser.

Telemetry is on by default, the CDP and HTTP MCP servers have no authentication, the cloud documents its token in the URL, and no status page or cloud terms were found.\n\n**TinyFish.** OpenAPI documents are published for five APIs, errors carry typed codes and request IDs, and Search and Fetch are free within daily allowances. The terms let Tiny Fish train its models on customer data, run creation takes no idempotency keys, and the status page shows an hour or more of downtime on several days for the Browser and Search APIs.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Lightpanda\n\n1. Set `LIGHTPANDA_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true` in the server's environment if usage data, the IP address and an instance ID shouldn't leave the machine.\n2. Treat text from `markdown`, `html`, `tree` and `links` as untrusted page content, never as instructions.\n3. Pass credentials as `$LP_*` placeholders in tool arguments and call `getEnv` without a name; naming a variable returns its value.\n4. Check `httpStatus` in `structuredContent` after `goto`, since a 404 page or a load timeout is still reported as a successful navigation.\n5. Keep `lightpanda serve` and `lightpanda mcp --port` on 127.0.0.1 or a Unix socket; neither checks who connects.\n\n### TinyFish\n\n1. Check `result` as well as `status`. A run can be `COMPLETED` while the goal failed, with `result.status` set to `failure`\n2. Don't retry `POST /v1/automation/run` blindly after a timeout. There are no idempotency keys, so list runs first to avoid duplicates\n3. Use `/v1/automation/run-async` or `/run-sse` when a run may need cancelling. Runs started with the synchronous endpoint can't be cancelled\n4. Allow 60 seconds for Browser session creation, connect Playwright to `cdp_url` (not `base_url`), and `DELETE` the session when done because billing is per minute\n5. Never put passwords in `goal`, which is logged. Pass `use_vault: true` with `credential_item_ids`, or `use_profile: true` for saved login state\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Lightpanda or TinyFish?\n\nTinyFish scores 67.7 (B) on agent readiness against Lightpanda's 61.6 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Lightpanda leads on reliability and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Lightpanda and TinyFish need an API key?\n\nLightpanda needs no key. TinyFish takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Lightpanda and TinyFish without installing anything?\n\nLightpanda runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. TinyFish has a hosted endpoint at https://agent.tinyfish.ai.\n\n### Are Lightpanda and TinyFish open source?\n\nLightpanda is open source (AGPL-3.0 for the browser. The npm wrapper @lightpanda/browser and the agent skill are Apache-2.0. Lightpanda Cloud is a closed service with no terms of service found). No open-source release is listed for TinyFish.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lightpanda-vs-tinyfish.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lightpanda-vs-tinyfish.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"lightpanda\", \"b\": \"tinyfish\"}`.
