Browserflow vs Zapier

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.

Zapier connects apps through automated workflows called Zaps. Each Zap starts with a trigger and carries out one or more actions; a task counts when a successful action moves data or completes work. The service offers automation across more than 9,000 apps, with multi-step workflows, conditional logic and webhook triggers. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps limited to two steps, one user and a 15-minute polling interval. Polling for new data does not count toward tasks, but successful actions do. Without pay-per-task billing, workflows pause at the task limit until the next usage period. Professional starts at $19.99 per month and Team starts at $69.00 per month; both offer free trials. Team includes 25 users and shared Zaps, folders and app connections. Annual billing has a lower monthly fee, with a 33% saving shown in the pricing selector. Zapier is web-based and headquartered in San Francisco, California.
