Key features
Fellou
- Plan first, then act

- Browser automation
- The Browser Use feature automates workflows that span sites, such as scraping data and filling in forms, from a single command.
- Deep research reports
- It searches across the web, including logged-in accounts such as Reddit, and produces reports with sources you can check.
- Computer Use
- With permission, the agent can operate local apps and manage files on the desktop, beyond the browser window.
- Scheduled tasks
- Tasks can run on a schedule; the free plan allows 2, Plus 3 and Pro 5, and Ultra is listed as unlimited for a limited time.
- Eko open-source framework
- The vendor also publishes Eko 2.0, an open-source framework for building your own agents, documented separately from the browser.
rtrvr.ai

- Pull listings or profiles into a sheet. Enrichment costs 0.25 credits per returned record, and live scraping 0.15 credits per successful record.
- Schedules and triggers
- Paid plans run schedules as often as every few minutes and respond to webhooks or page changes, with no tab open.
- API, MCP, CLI and WhatsApp

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.
