Overview
Skyvern runs browser workflows using vision and LLM reasoning rather than DOM selectors, so automations are meant to survive UI changes. It logs into portals, fills forms, downloads and parses documents, and extracts data as JSON or CSV, handling CAPTCHAs, 2FA and proxy routing. Workflows are built by chat, SOP upload, browser recording, a visual builder or the Python and TypeScript SDKs.

Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Open source, self-hostable via Docker
- Python and TypeScript SDKs, webhooks and MCP support
- Build by chat, SOP upload, browser recording or visual builder
- Handles CAPTCHAs, 2FA/TOTP and proxy geo-targeting
Trade-offs
- 2FA/TOTP and team workspaces require the $149/month Pro plan
- Free tier gives one concurrent run and about 170 actions a month
- HIPAA, SOC-2 report and human-in-the-loop are Enterprise-only
- Billed in credits, so cost tracks action volume, not seats

How this score is made up
Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.
MCP support
Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.
API quality
Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.
Documentation
Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.
Agent friendliness
How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.
Pricing transparency
Whether real prices are published, self-serve signup exists, and usage costs are knowable without a sales call.
Changelog
A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.
Marketing site structure
Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.
Page speed
How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.
Operational trust
Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.
Measured, but not part of the score
Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.
Openness
Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.
Maintenance
Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
