Which one is for you

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

Pick Hexomatic if

  • Fits if you collect leads or web data in bulk without writing code
  • Works for sales and marketing teams repeating research across many pages

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want to try before paying, as there is no free plan or trial
  • Pricey if you pay monthly figures: the quoted $40.83 a month is billed as $490 up front
  • Watch out: AI steps, proxies and enrichment use premium credits from $9.99 a month on top

Value for money
CPersonal is $19 a month on annual billing, which is the middle of this category, and that buys 12,000 credits for the year and 5 websites. Pay month to month and it's $48. Professional, for 10 websites, is $69. Extra websites are a paid add-on on both.
CSilver is $40.83 a month, paid as $490 up front, inside the middle band of automation tools ($13.49 to $50).
Free plan and trial
CFree gives you 50 credits a month, which is 500 rows, across 2 websites, with monitoring no more often than hourly. Credits don't carry over. It's enough to watch one page, and you'll feel the edges on the first real job.
FNo free plan and no free trial on the pricing page.
Features
CIt covers web data: AI that proposes the columns, robots you train by recording clicks, deep scraping into detail pages, change monitoring and 250+ ready-made robots. That's a narrower job than the platforms here, and sites needing special proxies cost 2 to 10 credits a run.
CScraping recipes, built-in automations, workflows, scheduling and an API. AI steps, residential proxies and email enrichment need premium credits sold as a separate add-on.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. Pasting an address and letting the AI propose columns takes little setup, but there's an extension to install for recorded robots, and credits to work out, where one covers 10 rows or a screenshot.
CNo store rating on record. You build scraping recipes and workflows yourself.
Platforms and integrations
BA web app plus a browser extension for recording robots. Results sync to Google Sheets or Airtable, flow through Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect and webhooks, land in Amazon S3, or come out of a REST API.
CBrowser-based only; no desktop or phone app is listed, and no integrations are named.

    Key features

    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.

    Hexomatic

    One-click scrapers for popular sites, plus the option to build your own scraping recipes to pull products, content or leads from a page.
    Built-in automations
    More than 100 ready-made steps, such as article scraping, email validation, pulling contacts from a page and discovering a site's tech stack.
    Workflows
    Scrapers and automations are chained into workflows. Silver runs 10 at once and Gold lifts that limit.
    Premium credits
    A separate add-on covers AI, translation, Google data, email enrichment and residential proxies, starting at $9.99 a month.
    Scheduling and API
    Workflows can be scheduled on both paid plans. API access is listed under the Gold plan.

    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.
