Why does it matter for agencies?
Browser Use prices browser time at $0.02 per session hour and task initialization at $0.01, so an agency can meter delivery costs against a fixed monthly retainer instead of absorbing unpredictable labor hours. The real margin risk sits in LLM token spend, where Claude Opus 5 output runs $30 per 1M tokens, meaning heavy multi-step workflows can quietly erode a $550/mo Starter Automation package unless task scope is capped. Agencies that model token burn per client task before signing will compound retainer margin; those that don't will discover the leak three months in.
