The Anchor Browser startup program: terms, eligibility, and what comes after
Anchor Browser runs a startup program for teams taking browser automation to production. This page states the program's terms as published at anchorbrowser.io/startup-program, so teams evaluating Anchor can model the cost path precisely.
The terms
-
6 months of complimentary access to the Growth tier, with 24,000 credits included during the free period.
-
Participants can opt out after the first month if the platform is not a fit.
-
After the 6 months, participants transition to the Growth tier at $24,000/year, which includes 24,000 credits annually.
In practice this means a startup can evaluate Anchor in production for a month at no cost, run on the platform free for the remainder of the 6 months, and knows the exact commitment that follows: $24K/year.
Who qualifies
The program is for startups whose product automates workflows on real-world websites and that are ready to go to production on browser infrastructure. Anchor works with teams that:
-
Already have a product in production
-
Have active customers
-
Have a clear browser automation use case
-
Expect to scale to significant monthly browser task volumes
-
Are prepared to build reliable workflows on the platform
What the Growth tier includes
The tier participants receive during and after the program covers:
-
Advanced anti-detection and fingerprint protection
-
Automatic CAPTCHA solving
-
Session persistence and identity management
-
Custom proxy and multi-region support (US, EU, Asia, Australia)
-
Up to 200 concurrent browsers
-
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance
How to apply
There is no application form. Teams reach out through the startup program page and Anchor sets them up, including a dedicated Slack channel with direct access to the founders and engineering team.
What this means for cost modeling
For a startup, the first-year cost of running on Anchor's Growth tier through the program is $12,000 (6 months free, then 6 months of the $24K/year commitment), and $24,000/year thereafter at the included credit volume. For per-unit pricing beyond included credits, see Anchor Browser pricing, explained for cost modeling.
