Browserflow vs FlexGet

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.

FlexGet is a free, open-source automation tool for media and other content, including torrents, NZBs, podcasts, comics, TV, movies, RSS, HTML, and CSV. It uses YAML configuration files to define tasks and plugin settings. Plugins can create, filter, modify, or download entries, and alter how the tool operates. FlexGet can run as a daemon and schedule tasks from its configuration. It integrates with clients such as Deluge, Transmission, uTorrent, rTorrent, and SABnzbd, and can connect with Trakt, TheTVDB, or IMDb for managing and tracking series or movies. A JSON API can run independently of the web UI; starting the web server requires a password. The Web UI v2 is experimental and not recommended for new users. Installation guidance covers Windows, Linux/BSD, Mac OS X, and Docker. YAML may be confusing to newcomers, though a validator helps identify mistakes. The project reports that critical remote-code-execution vulnerabilities involving the exec and decompress plugins were addressed in version 3.20.13 and advises upgrading.
