Competitive view
Kernel vs. other browser providers
The current provider stays at the top for orientation; each metric carries its independent rank. Lower is better for speed, failure rate, and price. Higher is better for bypass rate.

Latency by origin
Kernel latency by region
Baseline targets at concurrency 1, measured from each runner origin in this version. Latency is a client-to-provider round trip, so origins are shown side by side, never ranked or averaged together.

Commercial context
Kernel pricing snapshot
Provider pricing source ↗Published plan prices and concurrency ceilings from the benchmark pricing snapshot, last updated 2026-08-07. The benchmark ran on Hobbyist.
| Plan | Monthly price | Maximum concurrency |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | $0 / month | 5 |
| HobbyistBenchmarked | $30 / month | 10 |
| Start-Up | $200 / month | 150 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Not published |
Plan fees, included credits, and measured usage are separate concepts. The headline hourly rate is the normalized standard-browser list price and excludes stealth add-ons.
