AGPL-3.0 vision-based browser agent with a no-code workflow builder; cloud plans from $29/mo meter credits and add CAPTCHA solving and proxies.
Operations teams automating repetitive form-filling, logins and document downloads across many similar sites. Skyvern drives pages with vision models instead of fixed XPath selectors, and the README claims state-of-the-art 64.4% on WebBench with the top score on WRITE tasks, which are exactly form fills, logins and downloads. The workflow builder, TOTP, email and SMS 2FA support, and credential pulls from Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass and Azure Key Vault make it the pick when the hard part is authenticating, not reasoning.
Self-hosters do not get the anti-bot layer: the README states that the managed cloud's anti-bot measures are not in the open-source repository, and the docs put CAPTCHA solving and residential proxies on the cloud side. On the cloud, the basic CAPTCHA solver needs the $29 Hobby plan and the advanced solver plus residential proxy need $149 Pro, so the free tier will be blocked by protected sites. Free also allows just 1 concurrent run. The pricing page meters credits but never defines a credit, giving only estimates of about 170 actions on Free and 1,200 on Hobby, and the FAQ entry answering that question is empty.
Pros
Cons
The GitHub README claims state-of-the-art performance on WebBench at 64.4% accuracy, and says Skyvern is the top performer on WRITE tasks, meaning form filling, logins and file downloads. A linked blog post's URL also cites 85.8% on the WebVoyager eval, though that figure is not restated in the README body. Both numbers are vendor-published, so validate against your own target sites.
The anti-bot layer. The README states the managed cloud's anti-bot measures are not part of the open-source repository, and the docs place CAPTCHA detection and solving plus the residential proxy network on the cloud side. Self-hosting gives you the vision-driven agent, the workflow builder and the API under AGPL-3.0, but protected sites will block it unless you supply your own evasion stack.
In credits, consumed by actions. Free includes 5,000 credits, Hobby $29 per month includes 30,000, Pro $149 per month includes 150,000, and Enterprise is custom. The pricing page converts these to rough action counts of 170, 1,200 and 6,200 per month, but never defines a credit, lists no per-credit overage rate, and leaves the relevant FAQ answer blank. Skyvern SMS numbers cost $10 monthly each.
Yes, and it is the clearest differentiator. The README documents TOTP via QR-based apps such as Google Authenticator and Authy, plus email-based and SMS-based 2FA. Credentials are encrypted at rest and can be pulled from Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass, Azure Key Vault or a custom HTTP credential service. Stored credentials start on Hobby; 2FA/TOTP and 1Password are listed on Pro.
