In their own words
Browserflow
Browserflow is a no-code tool for automating browser workflows and extracting website data. Its visual editor lets users assemble flows by recording actions or adding custom JavaScript to a page. It can gather information from HTML tables and single-page applications, and work across multiple pages and infinite feeds. Flows can run in a user's browser or in Browserflow Cloud, where they can be scheduled even when the user's computer is off. Browserflow can read and write Google Sheets, an integration included in every plan. It also lists reusable community flows, rotating proxies, and options to save files, screenshots, and PDFs. The Free plan is free forever and allows one cloud flow, 30 minutes of cloud automation per month, a one-minute desktop run, and a maximum cloud frequency of once a day. Paid plans start at $19 a month billed yearly. API and webhooks begin with Starter; these are excluded from Free along with proxies and CAPTCHA solving. The product is available as an API, browser extension, and web service.
