Best for browser agent as an extension and cloud
rtrvr is a Chrome extension and cloud browser that does web tasks, scraping and scheduled runs. Free Mode shows sponsored cards with results, and ad-free runs and cloud API calls need paid credits. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
Who rtrvr.ai is for
- Fits if you want a browser agent running inside Chrome for scraping and repeat tasks
- Works for people who can live with sponsored cards on the free plan
Who rtrvr.ai is not for
- Skip it if you object to sponsored cards, since ad-free runs need a paid plan and credits
- Not for you if you need the cloud API, MCP or WhatsApp on a free plan
- Watch out: unused monthly credits do not roll over
- Tight if you run browsers all day: a cloud browser uses about 60 credits, roughly 60 cents, an hour

Keep rtrvr.ai, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace rtrvr.ai you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 160 of the 178 other AI agents we grade. It costs $119.88 a year.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A web browser.
What this rests on. rtrvr.ai’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is rtrvr.ai?
rtrvr.ai, sold as Retriever AI, is a browser agent that works on the page you have open in Chrome or in cloud browsers it runs for you. It can scrape data, fill forms and run scheduled tasks, and is also reachable through an API, MCP, a CLI and WhatsApp on paid plans.
Worth knowing
- The free plan shows sponsored cards with results; ad-free runs need a paid plan and credits.
- Cloud API calls, cloud MCP tools and WhatsApp tasks are not on the free plan.
- One credit equals one cent, and a cloud browser uses about 60 credits an hour; unused monthly credits do not roll over.
Key features
- Chrome extension and cloud browsers
- Run tasks on the page you are signed into in Chrome, or in cloud browsers that keep working after you leave.
- Scraping and enrichment
- 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
- The agent can be called from code, an MCP client such as Claude, a terminal or WhatsApp. Cloud API calls need a paid plan.
- Choice of AI model
- Use rtrvr credits, ChatGPT, Claude, your own API key or a local model. Your own provider avoids model-credit charges.
