Choose Glasshand if
Developers and small teams whose AI agents need a real iPhone or Mac for app-only tasks or native app testing.
- Real hardware passes app and account checks that emulators often fail
- Works with any agent that can make HTTPS calls, no install needed
- Clear flat monthly price per device in USD
Look elsewhere if: Workflows a website can handle, or teams needing Android or short-term device access (Lexmount Browser, Appcircle).
Choose Lexmount Browser if
Developers building AI agents who need many cheap, fast cloud or self-hosted browser sessions for fetching and automating web pages.
- Moli engine is open source and can run locally on Linux, macOS or Windows
- Vendor benchmarks show far lower memory use than headless Chrome
- Low entry price of $12 for 100 browser hours and 25 concurrent sessions
Look elsewhere if: Teams that need pixel-perfect rendering, heavy Canvas or media playback, or a mature compliance-backed vendor (Browserbase, Apify).
