The baseline is managed browser time. Graphical Chrome requirements and bring-your-own-proxy constraints are eligibility facts, not price footnotes.

The engine prices only products that can serve the stated job and normalizes their time billing units. Each alternative keeps its sourced reason to switch and its public-price state.

When switching is justified

Kernel becomes relevant when the job exceeds Lightpanda Builder’s 30 concurrent sessions or needs a browser that can remain configured for as long as 72 hours. Kernel publishes a Start-Up total of 150 concurrent browsers, although its active-compute unit cannot be converted honestly to browser hours from the public record because the memory component is missing and the pricing page conflicts with the documentation on the billing unit. This is an operating-capacity decision first and a price decision only after Kernel clarifies that unit. (Lightpanda pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25; Kernel documentation, retrieved 2026-07-25; Kernel pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26; Kernel pricing documentation, retrieved 2026-07-25.)

Who should stay with Lightpanda

Stay when the monthly workload fits 300 browser hours and 30 concurrent sessions, a headless non-graphical engine serves the target, and the team already owns the proxy layer. Lightpanda says its cloud offer can also provide Chrome for workflows that require it, but Builder still places proxy cost outside the published plan. Those conditions make the incumbent the coherent purchase rather than an incomplete substitute for a bundled proxy or graphical-browser requirement. (Lightpanda pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25; Lightpanda, retrieved 2026-07-25.)

What a switch gives up

Moving to Kernel gives up Lightpanda’s directly stated browser-hour allowance and overage meter. Kernel instead meters active compute and publishes no ordinary on-demand memory allocation with which to reconcile that meter to one browser hour. A buyer may gain longer sessions, higher published concurrency, and replay retention, but the table cannot show an exact like-for-like total until the compute billing unit is resolved.
