Skyvern

Skyvern is an AI browser automation platform from Ikonomos Inc., which does business as Skyvern, and is backed by Y Combinator. Instead of CSS selectors or XPath scripts, it uses large language models and computer vision to read a page visually and act on it, so it can log in, fill forms, download documents, extract data and run multi-step workflows on websites it has not seen before. It handles CAPTCHAs, 2FA and TOTP codes, anti-bot challenges and proxy geo-targeting. Skyvern is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, its GitHub repository has 23.2k stars, and its homepage reports 30,000+ users and customers, 500+ enterprise users and 10M+ workflows run. Skyvern runs as a managed cloud, self-hosted, or as a hybrid with cloud orchestration and self-hosted browsers. A visual workflow builder, a browser recorder, SOP upload and a Copilot chat let non-developers build workflows, while Python and TypeScript SDKs add AI commands to Playwright pages, a REST API covers the platform, and a hosted MCP server with OAuth sign-in lets AI clients such as Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex and ChatGPT run browser automations. Code Caching stores the Playwright code generated on a first run so repeat runs skip the LLM, which Skyvern says makes them 3 to 5 times faster and up to 70% cheaper. No-code connectors cover Zapier, Make.com, n8n, Workato, Clay and Activepieces. Skyvern has four plans, priced in USD and billed monthly. Free is $0 with 5,000 credits, about 170 actions, 1 concurrent run, webhooks, country geo-targeting and community support, and needs no credit card. Hobby is $29/month with 30,000 credits a month, 10 concurrent runs, a basic CAPTCHA solver, stored credentials and email support. Pro is $149/month with 150,000 credits a month, 25 concurrent runs, an advanced CAPTCHA solver, team workspaces, 2FA and TOTP support, 1Password integration, residential proxies, city-level geo-targeting and priority support. Enterprise is custom-priced with custom credits, 100 concurrent runs, HIPAA compliance, the SOC 2 report, Azure Key Vault and Bitwarden integration, custom code blocks, human-in-the-loop steps and a dedicated Slack channel. Hobby and Pro credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. Residential proxies, team workspaces, 2FA and TOTP support and 1Password start at Pro, and HIPAA, the SOC 2 report, human-in-the-loop and self-hosted deployment on the customer's own cloud are Enterprise features. Skyvern's standard Terms of Service state that the service is not designed to comply with HIPAA, and HIPAA with a BAA is offered on Enterprise. Skyvern is best for operations and engineering teams automating work on web portals that have no API, such as healthcare payer and EMR portals, insurance carrier sites, banking portals and government forms. Teams that want AI to build and maintain Playwright code they deploy and own as production scrapers should consider Intuned, and teams that mainly need to scrape and monitor website data on a schedule without code should consider Browse AI. Current state Q3 2026: Skyvern's Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA as compliant, and Skyvern raised $2.7M in December 2025. Its August 2026 release made the updated Copilot chat the default in the workflow editor, and Copilot can now repair and rerun workflows. Skyvern reports an 85.85% score on the WebVoyager benchmark as of January 2025, and in May 2025 it published Web Bench, a dataset of 5,750 tasks on 452 websites for comparing browser agents.
