Hosted stealth browser sessions for agents with managed login identities and MFA, billed in credits plus browser-hours, proxy GB and per-AI-step fees.
Agents that must stay logged in to systems humans normally operate: Anchor sells managed authentication with identities and MFA, persistent profiles, live view and human takeover for 2FA or payments, then hands control back. It suits builders who want sessions reachable over CDP from Playwright or Puppeteer rather than a new agent framework, with Node and Python SDKs plus Make, LangChain and CrewAI integrations. Documented idle and max-duration timers make long-running sessions predictable to operate.
Cost-sensitive high-volume scraping is the wrong fit, and the vendor's own calculator shows why: at 10,574 sessions a month it puts proxy usage at $4,229.60 of a $5,198.88 total, dwarfing $334.84 of browser time. CAPTCHA bypass is also not on Free; the pricing page lists Automated Captcha bypass starting at the $50/month Starter tier, and the full stealth Chromium only at $2,000/month Growth. Free gives 5 credits a month and 5 concurrent browsers. Anchor publishes no task success rate or anti-bot benchmark, and the page never defines what a credit is beyond charging 0.1 credits per completed task.
Pros
Cons
Work from the vendor's own calculator, not the plan fee. For 10,574 sessions a month at 38 minutes each it shows browser duration $334.84 at $0.09 per hour, AI steps $528.70 at $0.01 each, browser initialization $105.74 at $0.01 per session on Growth, and proxy usage $4,229.60 at $8.00 per GB, totalling $5,198.88. Proxy bandwidth is roughly four fifths of the bill.
More than Free. The pricing page lists Automated Captcha bypass starting on Starter at $50 per month, Cloudflare Verified Browser Agents on Team at $500, the Anchor Chromium full stealth solution on Growth at $2,000, and unique fingerprinting for bot-detection avoidance on Enterprise. Higher tiers do not restate lower-tier features, so confirm inheritance with Anchor before assuming a cheaper plan carries CAPTCHA bypass.
Two independent timers govern it and the first to fire wins. The idle timeout defaults to 5 minutes, measured from when the last browser connection drops, and any new connection including live view, CDP or OS-level control restarts it; setting -1 disables idle termination. Max duration is a hard lifetime cap defaulting to 180 minutes, and the docs state no upper limit on how high you can set it.
No. Neither the pricing page nor the docs introduction gives a task success rate, a WebVoyager score or an anti-bot bypass percentage, and the docs introduction also omits rate limits, quotas and concurrency caps. What is documented is failure handling instead: recordings, live view, webhooks and human takeover for 2FA or payment steps, so failed runs are observable and recoverable by a person.
