Which one is for you
Pick Axiom.ai if
- Fits if you want website data scraped into a spreadsheet without writing code
- Works for anyone typing the same thing into a web app over and over
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want cloud bots on a schedule, because that starts on Pro at $50 a month
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as it's 2 hours of runtime once and then you pay
- Skip it if your team needs shared accounts, since those only come with Ultimate at $250 a month
- Tight if your jobs run long in the cloud, as each run stops at 1 hour on Starter and 2 on Pro
- Watch out: unused monthly runtime doesn't carry over, and Starter runs 1 cloud bot at a time
Pick TinyTask if
- Fits if you need to repeat one fixed run of clicks and keystrokes on Windows
- Works for people who want a macro recorder with nothing to install or configure
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need anything that reacts to what is on screen, as it only replays
- Not for you if you use a Mac or Linux, since only Windows is listed
- Watch out: it is free for personal use only and the pages describe no commercial licence
- Too light for anyone who wants documentation, as the author calls the help sparse
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAAxiom.aiFair | 2.6GPATinyTaskGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DStarter is $15 a month, which sounds fine until you read what's missing: no scheduler, no webhooks, no API, no run recording. Those start on Pro at $50 a month, which is the dear tenth of this category and more than twice what tools here typically charge. | AFree for personal use; the author asks for voluntary donations. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. New accounts get 2 hours of runtime with no card asked for, and that runtime doesn't renew. Enough to see whether a bot works, and then you're paying. | AFree with no cap, though only for personal use. |
| Features | CIt covers browser automation: point-and-click selectors, scraping, clicks, typing, downloads, logic and custom JavaScript, cloud or desktop runs, three developer APIs and an MCP server. That's a narrower job than the platforms here, and the scheduler and webhooks are plan-gated. | DOne narrow function: record and replay one fixed sequence. It has no conditions, no image search and no scheduling in the listing. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You point at an element instead of writing CSS or XPath, but you're still building a bot step by step and working out runtime hours, concurrency and per-run time caps that change with the plan. | BNo store rating on record. It is a small portable program you open and use with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA Chrome extension for building, a desktop runner for macOS, Windows and Linux, and a cloud runner. It writes to Google Sheets and Excel, and Pro adds webhooks, Zapier and Make, with three APIs for driving it from code. | DWindows only; no macOS, Linux or mobile version is listed. |
| Best for | browser bots and scraping without writing code | one-click mouse and keyboard recording on Windows |

Worth knowing

Key features
Axiom.ai
- No-code bot builder in Chrome
- Bots are built inside a Chrome extension by adding steps from a searchable library and configuring them on the page. A selector tool lets you point at an element instead of writing CSS or XPath.
- Scraping, actions and logic
- Steps scrape data you point at, click, type, pick from dropdowns and download files. Logic, filters and custom JavaScript are available on every plan.
- Cloud or desktop runs
- The cloud runner adds schedules, concurrency and run recording by plan. The desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux runs bots in your own Chrome with no concurrency or time limit.
- Three APIs for developers
- The Chrome API connects Playwright or Puppeteer scripts to cloud Chrome, the Step API performs single actions such as a scrape, and the Orchestrate API triggers saved bots over REST.
- Claude skill and MCP server
- A Claude Code skill guides Claude through building a bot, and an MCP server gives Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients access to the browser and the APIs.
- Sheets, webhooks and AI steps
- Bots read from and write to Google Sheets and Excel. Pro and higher plans add webhooks, Zapier and Make. AI steps call models such as ChatGPT or Claude using your own API key.
TinyTask
- Record and replay
- Press record to capture mouse movements and keystrokes, then press play to repeat them. No scripting is involved.
- Playback speeds
- Version 1.62 added custom playback speeds, and playback shows a countdown of the time remaining.
- Compile to EXE
- A recording can be compiled into a standalone executable. The FAQ says there are no royalties or restrictions on distributing compiled programs.
- Very small and portable
- The download is a single 32-bit executable of about 36 KB that runs without installing. A setup installer is also offered.
- Custom toolbar
- Releases 1.70 to 1.73 added a larger toolbar and the option to use your own BMP images for the toolbar buttons.

More comparisons
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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
