Automate vs Browserflow

Automate is an Android app for turning repetitive smartphone and tablet tasks into flowcharts. Users connect blocks for actions, conditions, event triggers, loops, and other tasks, then configure them with options, expressions, variables, and functions. More than 410 building blocks support multi-step workflows, conditional logic, and webhook triggers. The app works with applications supporting the Locale or Tasker plug-in API and connects to web services through HTTP. File transfers can use Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, FTP, or HTTP. An in-app Community provides flows shared by other users. The free edition costs nothing and permits 30 running blocks. Premium is a single in-app purchase that removes that limit and belongs to the purchasing Google account and its registered devices. Automate says it shows no ads, gathers no usage statistics, and stores flows and settings locally unless users share them. The app is currently unavailable on platforms other than Android.

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.
