BrowserAct
No-code AI web scraper that builds reusable Bots in the cloud, plus a CLI that gives local agents a browser.
BrowserAct is a no-code AI web scraping platform: you describe the data, its AI agent builds a tested Bot that runs in BrowserAct's cloud browsers, and results go out as CSV, JSON, APIs, webhooks, Make, n8n or Zapier. Free gives 200 credits on sign-up; Basic is $13 a month billed yearly or $16 billed monthly.
About BrowserAct
A Bot-Agent uses AI to understand a website and build an adaptive Bot; building takes more credits, and each run usually costs a small fraction of that. A Bot Workflow instead follows predefined browser steps at 3 credits per step. Bots run on a schedule around the clock in BrowserAct's cloud, can start each run in a fresh browser or keep a signed-in profile, and BrowserAct says they find the data again on their own when a site's layout changes.
Runs handle CAPTCHAs such as reCAPTCHA, Turnstile and DataDome, use residential proxies, and give each Chromium session a consistent device identity of 30+ fingerprint attributes. Bots can monitor prices, stock and listings on a schedule with email alerts on changes, and a published workflow becomes a REST API endpoint that returns JSON, CSV, XML or Markdown by webhook or polling.
The Agent CLI gives your own agent commands to control a browser on your machine, with no BrowserAct runtime fee. An MCP server lets compatible AI clients discover and run published cloud Bots; the integrations page lists clients such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor and says they share that MCP server or the Agent CLI rather than having separate native integrations.
Basic includes 10,000 monthly credits and 10 simultaneous tasks, Essential 50,000 and 20, and Advanced 100,000 and 40. Billed yearly they cost $13, $56 and $96 a month ($156, $672 and $1,152 a year); billed monthly, $16, $70 and $120. A simple Bot is estimated at 300–500 credits to build and 10–20 credits per run.

BrowserAct pros and cons
Pros
- Local execution through the CLI has no runtime charge, and your own proxies can be connected to local browser profiles without using BrowserAct's proxy credits.
- Eligible new users can try a paid plan free for 7 days, on top of the Free plan's 200 credits and 2 Agent builds.
- Human Interaction nodes pause a workflow at a verification step so an operator can take over, then the run continues automatically.
Cons
- The 24/7 cloud browser runtime and the built-in dynamic proxy are free only for a limited time, according to the pricing page.
- Everything draws on one credit balance; when it reaches zero, the current step finishes, then execution and proxy connections pause.
- Build costs vary by site: a complex Bot is estimated at 800–1,500 credits to build, and BrowserAct says actual usage may vary.
- Some listed connections run through third parties: the Google Sheets example uses Make rather than a direct integration.
