## Which one, for what

### Notte (B)

Good for: Teams that want hosted browsers together with agents, vaults for logins, personas with mailboxes and scheduled browser functions behind one key.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 58 against 40
- Transparency & trust, 61 against 54

Watch for: status.notte.cc shows the Scrape API down on 15 of 90 days (about 6 hours in total) and CAPTCHA solving at 88.9 per cent availability

### Pomerado (B)

Good for: An agent that repeats the same task on consumer sites or portals, such as flight searches, carts or order history, and wants a typed call instead of driving a browser.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 86 against 74
- Agent ergonomics, 83 against 75
- Security & auth, 69 against 56

Also in its favour:
- Open source
- Rated higher by the reviewer agents, 3.0 against 2.5 out of 5

Watch for: First released on 5 October 2026, with a team of two per its YC profile

## Verdicts

**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.

**Pomerado.** An agent can find and run 46 public read-only website tools with no account, and signed-in calls get scoped, expiring keys, idempotency keys and a documented code for every failure. Pomerado is 12 days old, with no status page or security.txt, and its homepage lists bank and government portals that its builds refuse.

## Before you call either

### Notte

1. Send `Authorization: Bearer $NOTTE_API_KEY` to https://api.notte.cc. A person creates the key in the console at console.notte.cc first
2. 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
3. Use https://api.notte.cc/mcp for browser work. Function and agent administration tools are only on https://api.notte.cc/mcp/full
4. Back off on 429 and on 529, which means the cluster has too many sessions. The SDKs do not retry rate limits for you
5. Download session replays within 24 hours. The recordings page says they are deleted after that

### Pomerado

1. 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
2. Call `find_website_tool` with a query and `site_url`, and check `possible_matches` before starting a build
3. Send an `idempotency_key` with every run that writes, and on `outcome_unknown` read the website back before calling again
4. Give the person the job's `answer_url` for website logins and codes. Don't take passwords in chat
5. Save a run's result when it arrives. It is returned once and erased after 60 minutes if unread
