Aerokube Moon vs Browserling

Aerokube Moon runs browser automation sessions inside a customer-managed Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster. It supports Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, and Puppeteer, with Selenium compatibility based on the W3C WebDriver specification and standard capabilities. Browser capacity depends on the cluster, while the license sets concurrent sessions. Without a license key, Moon allows up to four parallel browser sessions for unlimited use. A paid license costs $5 a month for each parallel session, scaling with the number of concurrent sessions. Aerokube recommends Helm installation. The interface lists and filters running sessions, displays browser screens, and launches sessions for manual testing. Optional features include video recording, mobile emulation, clipboard access, file transfer, and developer tools. Moon can capture network activity as HAR and upload it to S3 when configured. It exposes Prometheus metrics, including running sessions and session limits. Moon 2.x has no built-in authentication by default; ingress authentication or sidecars are described.

Browserling provides cloud-hosted virtual browsers for checking websites and links across browsers and operating systems. Its listed browser coverage includes Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and Internet Explorer on real operating systems, as well as mobile browsers on Android and iOS devices, including iPhones and iPads. Users can inspect pages at different screen sizes, resolutions, and device viewports. SSH tunnels provide access to private or local development sites. Other listed tools include screenshots, file uploads and downloads, geo-browsing, browser extensions, and bookmarklets. A free sandbox opens a URL in a remote isolated browser session. The Live API can embed interactive browsers in applications and supports automation, continuous integration, and SIEM/SOAR workflows. Browserling says each session runs in an isolated virtual machine that is destroyed afterward; traffic uses TLS 1.2 or higher, and URLs, session content, and files are not persistently retained. Paid plans begin at $9 a month billed annually. Listed options include Starter at $9 a month billed annually, Developer at $19 a month billed annually, and Live API at $99 a month as a starting price.
