The browser agent type has no impact on your billing. It's simply a way to switch to a more minimal set of features, if desired. The default browser agent installed comes with all features enabled.
To change your browser edition type, go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Browser > (select an app) > Settings > Application settings.
Here are some comparisons between the different browser agent types:
Browser agent types
We have three types of browser agents: Lite, Pro, and Pro+SPA.
Browser agent type | Comparison |
|---|---|
Pro+SPA | This is the default installed agent when you enable browser monitoring. It gives you access to all browser monitoring features. Pro+SPA is not useful only for single page applications. After install, you can downgrade to the lower agent types if you don't want or need SPA monitoring. |
Pro | This agent version lacks the features designed for SPA monitoring. |
Lite | This agent version reports some basic page load timing and browser user information, but lacks many of the more advanced browser monitoring features, and also lacks SPA monitoring features. |
