    Banana Peel

    Banana Peel is a browser-agent routing layer and OpenAI-compatible API. It lets a customer submit one browser task and uses smart routing to select, and when necessary fall back across, hosted agents, browser infrastructure, extraction APIs, and open-source browser frameworks.

    Banana Peel Browser Agent API

    An OpenAI-compatible Responses-style API at /api/v1/responses. A caller supplies a task and optional URL; Banana Peel returns the result plus runner, timing, cost, fallback, and routing metadata.

    Smart Routing

    Production routing that scores candidate runners using task/site success likelihood, cost, speed, and block risk, then can race or fall back to additional runners.

    Banana Peel MCP server

    The official stdio package @banana-peel/mcp, exposing native tools for creating and polling browser tasks, submitting MFA input, listing runs, and viewing live runner rankings.

    Banana Peel CLI and agent-native signup

    The @banana-peel/cli package can create an agent account, store credentials locally, provide a claim URL, and configure supported agent environments such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop.

    Market Position

    Banana Peel positions itself as an OpenRouter-like aggregation and routing layer for browser agents rather than as a single browser infrastructure provider. Its differentiation is one API/key/bill across a broad runner catalog, learned per-domain routing, and parallel fallback; named alternatives in its own documentation and integrations include Browserbase, Steel, Skyvern, Hyperbrowser, Browser Use, and Playwright.

    Founding Story

    Banana Peel's initial product vision is to provide an 'OpenRouter for browser agents': one API, one key, and one bill instead of separate provider accounts, while using live per-domain success data to choose the execution runner most likely to complete a task.

    Business Model

    Revenue Model

    Pay per executed runner attempt. Customers top up credits at face value; after welcome credits are used, each run is charged the selected runner's listed price plus a 5% Banana Peel platform fee. There are no seats, subscriptions, minimums, or platform fee during the initial welcome-credit balance.

    Pricing Tiers
