The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | $9.99 a month, under 60% of the category's cheaper quarter of $19. Credits cost a cent each and a cloud browser burns about 60 an hour. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free Mode covers supported models and cloud browser time with a daily fair-use allowance and one daily schedule, shown with sponsored cards. |
| Features | C | Extension and cloud browsers, scraping and enrichment, schedules, API, MCP, CLI and WhatsApp. Cloud API calls, MCP tools and WhatsApp tasks are not on Free. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up tasks and schedules, and may connect keys or an API. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Chrome extension and web, with Claude, Codex, Slack, WhatsApp and Google Sheets listed. No desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- People scraping data or filling forms from signed-in browser sessions
- Sales teams enriching leads and automating outreach steps
- Developers who want to call a browser agent from an API or MCP
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.
