Automatio vs Browse AI (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Automatio if

• Fits if you want to describe a browser chore and let an agent run it
• Works for people who prefer paying by usage rather than per seat

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a plan with a steady cost, as each step is billed in credits that vary by model
• Tight if your jobs run on a schedule, since runs pause when credits run out
• Watch out: plan credits reset monthly and do not carry over, and the 500 free credits are one time only

Pick Browse AI if

• Fits if you want a competitor's prices tracked without checking the site yourself
• Works for people who need a website's data in Google Sheets or Airtable and can't code

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you won't commit to a year, because monthly billing is $48 against $19
• Tight if you're staying free, with 50 credits a month, 2 websites and checks no more than hourly
• Skip it if you watch lots of sites, since plans cap them at 2, 5 and 10 and extras cost more
• Watch out: annual Personal gives 12,000 credits a year, half what twelve months on the $48 plan give
• Watch out: unused credits reset each cycle, and Premium sites cost at least 2 to 10 credits a run

Automatio

Automatio

One agent with many skills

The agent chains skills for research, email, spreadsheets, calendars, publishing and browser work in a single run.

Batch browser automation

The FAQ says the browser agent can process 1,000 or more URLs at once, generating scripts from your examples.

Scheduled workflows

Recurring automations run on a schedule and pause if credits run out. They are part of the Expert plan.

Chrome extension

The extension runs in your browser; the vendor says credentials and browsing data stay on your machine.

Credit-based billing

Each agent step costs the model price plus 20%, plus 6 credits for servers; a step is usually 20 to 40 credits on a low-cost model.

Browse AI

AI web scraper

Paste the address of a page and the AI reads it, extracts the data and proposes the columns. You review them, and can add a field by describing it in plain language.

Recorded robots

With the browser extension you record a task once: open a page, log in, click, fill in forms, extract data or take screenshots. The robot then repeats it with inputs you can change per run.

Website monitoring

A robot can re-check pages on a schedule and flag content or visual changes. The shortest interval is hourly on the Free plan and 5 minutes on Personal and Professional.

Deep scraping

A robot can extract a list and then visit each item's detail page for more fields, so one run covers many pages.

Prebuilt robots

More than 250 ready-made robots extract data from popular websites without recording anything or installing the extension.

Spreadsheets, integrations and API

Results sync to Google Sheets or Airtable, flow through Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect and webhooks, land in Amazon S3, or are served through a REST API.
