Skyvern

AI browser automation for any website, no API needed

Overview

Skyvern targets a specific pain point: lots of business-critical web tasks happen on sites with no API, like government portals, vendor logins, or legacy internal tools. Instead of writing brittle scripts against a page's HTML, Skyvern uses AI to interpret the page visually and interact with it the way a person would, clicking buttons, filling forms, and reading results. It layers in CAPTCHA solving, 2FA support, and proxy geo-targeting so automations don't break the moment a site adds friction.

The pricing model bundles compute, concurrency, and features into credit-based tiers rather than charging per action, which keeps costs predictable if you stay within a plan's budget. It also offers a self-hosted Docker option and SOC2/HIPAA compliance, which matters for regulated industries running sensitive workflows. It's a solid fit for ops and RevOps teams automating repetitive portal work, less useful if you just need simple API integrations that already exist.

Key Features

  • No-API Automation: Automates any browser-based task by interacting with the page directly, even without an official API.

  • CAPTCHA and 2FA Handling: Native support for CAPTCHA solving and 2FA/TOTP so workflows don't stall on login screens.

  • Multiple Build Methods: Create workflows via natural language chat, SOP document upload, browser recording, a visual builder, or code SDKs.

  • Document Processing: Extracts data from documents with OCR and exports results as CSV or JSON.

  • Explainable Audit Trails: Detailed logs of every action the agent took, useful for compliance-sensitive workflows.

  • Integrations: Connects to Zapier, Make, Salesforce, HubSpot, and other common business tools.

Pricing

Starting price

Disclaimer: pricing may change, confirm on Skyvern's own pricing page before buying.

Pros

  • Works Without an API: Automates sites that have no official integration by operating the browser directly.

  • Handles Friction Points: Built-in CAPTCHA and 2FA support keeps workflows from breaking on login screens.

  • Flexible Workflow Building: Chat, browser recording, visual builder, and code SDKs all work, so both technical and non-technical users can build automations.

  • Compliance-Ready: SOC2 Type II and HIPAA compliance plus self-hosted deployment for regulated industries.

  • Free Tier: 5,000 monthly credits to test without a credit card.

Cons

  • Credit System Learning Curve: Understanding how credits map to actual workflow runs takes some trial and error.

  • Big Jump to Pro: Advanced anti-bot and authentication features are gated behind the $149/month Pro tier.

  • Browser Automation Fragility: Like any tool interpreting pages visually, workflows can break when a target site redesigns its layout.

  • Enterprise Features Locked Behind Custom Plans: Compliance artifacts and dedicated support require the Enterprise tier and a sales conversation.

What Makes It Unique

  • Vision-Based Automation With No API Required: Skyvern interprets and interacts with any webpage visually, so it can automate portals and legacy sites that have no API for a traditional integration to hook into.

Manus

A general-purpose AI agent that goes off and does the task for you

Manus is an autonomous AI agent that takes a task like researching a topic, building a spreadsheet, or writing code, and works through it on its own, browsing the web and running tools as needed, then hands back a finished result. It's less a chatbot and more a virtual assistant you assign work to. It runs on a credit system, so cost tracks how much work each task actually takes rather than a flat seat price.

Toyo

An AI executive assistant that lives in iMessage, WhatsApp and Slack, and calls your phone

Toyo is an AI agent built for non-technical founders and small teams who need an executive assistant but can't hire one. It runs on a cloud computer with browser and app access, so it can triage your inbox, prep you for meetings, research prospects, and draft outreach, all through a normal text or voice conversation. There's no dashboard to learn; you just message it like you would a real assistant, and it asks for your approval before taking any action outside its sandbox.
