Which one is for you
Pick Airtop if
- Fits if you need to automate a website or vendor portal that has no API
- Works for developers adding a cloud browser to agents they already run in n8n, Zapier or Make
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free: 1 deployed agent and 1,000 credits a month, with Mark on a 7-day trial
- Pricey if Mark is what you came for, as it's only included from the $189 Professional plan
- Watch out: Starter at $29 allows 3 sessions at once and 10 agents; a custom proxy and dedicated support start at $189
- Not for you if you might want your money back, as refunds need a request within 5 business days and no credits used
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, since Airtop runs on the web only
Pick Thunderbit if
- Fits if you scrape lists of pages into a spreadsheet now and then
- Works for people who prefer to describe the data in words rather than build selectors
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you scrape more than 6 pages a month on Free
- Watch out: bulk, subpage and enrichment features need Starter
- Watch out: the page shows a limited-time 31% off on Pro with no end date
- Skip it if you need the API, which is sold on custom terms

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
