The free Community plan: what's in it and how to get an invite

Two threads with 60 browser-minutes each per day, every browser on the fleet and a proxy included — free, with no trial expiry. Invite-only while we open up.

2026-10-15

cdpfleet now has a free plan. It's meant for trying the fleet and for small projects: real browsers over the same API as the paid plans, with a proxy included so you don't have to bring one. There's no trial expiry and nothing is ever charged.

What you get

• 2 threads, 60 browser-minutes per thread per day. A headless browser takes 1 thread and a headful one 2, so you run two headless sessions or one headful at a time. Minutes are counted per thread: a headful session uses both threads' minutes, up to 60 minutes of headful a day. The allowance resets at midnight UTC.
• Sessions of up to 15 minutes, on every browser on the fleet — Chrome with its channels, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Camoufox, WebKit and the stealth builds.
• A proxy included. Leave proxy out of the launch and the plan's shared proxy is used, or send a cdpfleet-plan token for a country and a sticky exit — the dashboard's Proxies → Community proxy tab builds it. Your own proxies work too, and the paid residential proxy is available as on any plan.
• Per session: up to 5 open pages and 3 GB of memory (3.5 GB headful).
• Launch interactive, the code generator and the For AI prompt work on Community like on the paid plans.

What it doesn't include

• Session recordings, persistent profiles and keep_alive.
• Priority: Community sessions share a capacity cap and give way first when paid plans need room, so at busy times a launch can be refused with 503 community_capacity_full — retry after Retry-After. The included proxy is shared too and slower at peak times.
• Request data from Community sessions may be used to learn which browser setups work on which sites, so don't sign in to accounts or handle personal data on it (Terms, section 4A).

How to get it

• Signups are invite-only while we open up: join the waitlist and we'll send an invitation.
• Sign in to the dashboard and choose Verify a card and activate. Stripe checks the card; it's never charged, and one card holds one Community account.
• Create an API key, pick a browser in the code generator and run the program it writes — or try a browser live first with Launch interactive.
• Moving to a paid plan is one click in the dashboard, and a paid plan can switch to Community at the end of its billing period.
