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**Puppeteer.** Puppeteer is a stable, Apache-2.0 library on 25.13.0, with ten releases since 27 July 2026, typed APIs, locators that wait and retry, and accessibility snapshots an agent can read. It has no MCP server or llms.txt of its own, and 10 of the 20 most recent CI runs on main failed between 7 and 13 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Notte\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer $NOTTE_API_KEY` to https://api.notte.cc. A person creates the key in the console at console.notte.cc first\n2. Stop every session when the task ends. Sessions close after 3 idle minutes or 15 minutes in total by default, and the Free plan caps a session at 15 minutes\n3. Use https://api.notte.cc/mcp for browser work. Function and agent administration tools are only on https://api.notte.cc/mcp/full\n4. Back off on 429 and on 529, which means the cluster has too many sessions. The SDKs do not retry rate limits for you\n5. Download session replays within 24 hours. The recordings page says they are deleted after that\n\n### Puppeteer\n\n1. Install with `npm i puppeteer`, which downloads a matching Chrome for Testing. Use `puppeteer-core` to bring your own browser\n2. Prefer `page.locator()` over `page.$()`. Locators wait for the element to be visible and stable before acting\n3. Read pages with `page.accessibility.snapshot({interestingOnly: true})` rather than full HTML to keep output short\n4. Catch `TimeoutError` separately from `TargetCloseError`. The first can be retried, the second needs a new page or browser\n5. Packages are ESM only since 25.0.0. Use `import puppeteer from 'puppeteer'` rather than `require`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Notte or Puppeteer?\n\nPuppeteer scores 70.6 (BB) on agent readiness against Notte's 63.2 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Notte leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Can an agent call Notte and Puppeteer without installing anything?\n\nNotte has a hosted endpoint at https://api.notte.cc. No hosted endpoint is listed for Puppeteer.\n\n### Are Notte and Puppeteer open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Notte. Puppeteer is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/notte-vs-puppeteer.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/notte-vs-puppeteer.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"notte\", \"b\": \"puppeteer\"}`.
