Pricing & Limits

With Kernel, you only pay for what you use and nothing more. You don’t pay for idle time thanks to Standby Mode, and you’re never charged for proxies.

Reserved browsers (browser pools)

With Browser Pools, you pay the standard usage-based price per GB-second while browsers run, plus a small disk space charge when they are idle.

	Headful	Headless
Disk price per GB/hour	$0.001	$0.001
Disk allocation per browser	4 GB	1 GB
Example: 50 browsers idle/month	$144/month	$36/month

Note: Disk space charges are waived for Enterprise plan customers.

Managed Auth

Managed Auth is included on all paid plans with no per-connection fees. Under the hood, it uses browser sessions to log in and keep your sessions fresh—these count toward your browser usage and concurrency like any other browser session.

Auth sessions are fast (typically 5-30 seconds each). Kernel monitors session health and re-authenticates automatically when sessions expire—most stay valid for days. For example, keeping 100 auth connections logged in typically costs less than $5/month in browser usage.

Concurrency limits

Feature	Developer (free + usage)	Hobbyist ($30 / mo + usage)	Start-Up ($200 / mo + usage)	Enterprise
Reserved browsers (browser pools)	0	0	100	Custom
On-demand browsers	5	10	50	Custom
Invocations	5	10	50	Custom
Invocations (per-app)	5	10	20	Custom
Managed auth health check interval	N/A	1 hour minimum	20 minutes minimum	Custom

Note: Browsers in Standby Mode count against on-demand concurrency limits.

Note: Limits are org-wide by default unless stated otherwise. Managed auth profiles refer to the number of active auth connections that Kernel maintains using your stored Credentials or 1Password connection.
