Skyvern

Skyvern's live pricing page (skyvern.com/pricing, checked 2026-09-30) lists four tiers, not the Free-to-Enterprise jump some summaries suggest: Free ($0/mo, 5,000 credits, 1 concurrent run, community support), Hobby ($29/mo, 30,000 credits/month, 10 concurrent runs, basic CAPTCHA solver, stored credentials), Pro ($149/mo, 150,000 credits/month, 25 concurrent runs, advanced CAPTCHA solver, team workspaces, 2FA/TOTP, residential proxy, city-level geo-targeting), and Enterprise (custom pricing, 100 concurrent runs, HIPAA compliance with BAA, SOC 2 Type II report, dedicated Slack channel, SSO/SAML, self-hosted deployment on your own cloud). A credit buys one workflow run regardless of how many pages or steps it takes; the vendor's own FAQ estimates roughly 170 actions on Free and ~6,200/month on Pro. One line item to watch: a dedicated Skyvern SMS number for OTP handling is a $10/month add-on even on Pro, not bundled.

Skyvern's pitch is that it drives the browser with a vision-LLM agent rather than pre-recorded selectors, so a workflow built against one vendor portal keeps working after that portal's UI changes — the standard failure mode for Selenium/Playwright scripts and older RPA tools. Concretely it ships native handling for the three things that usually break scripted automation: CAPTCHA solving, 2FA/TOTP login flows, and anti-bot/proxy evasion (residential proxies with country/state/city targeting, per the pricing page). It's also genuinely open source under AGPL-3.0 (github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern, confirmed not archived, 23,095 stars, last push 2026-09-29) with active daily merge activity — recent PRs the day this was checked included work on task-execution internals and UI polish, not just docs. It self-hosts via Docker and ships a Playwright-compatible Python/TypeScript SDK, so teams that want to keep code and data in-house aren't locked into the hosted product.

The self-hosted code is AGPL-3.0 (github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/blob/main/LICENSE), which is a copyleft licence: if you modify Skyvern and offer it as a network service to others, AGPL generally requires you to release your modified source. That's a different commitment than an MIT or Apache-licensed tool, and it's the reason most teams running Skyvern at scale either use the hosted Cloud product or pay for the Enterprise self-hosted tier rather than fork-and-run the OSS repo unmodified in production.

Skyvern's homepage states 23,000+ GitHub stars (independently confirmed: 23,095 via the GitHub API, 2026-09-30), 500+ enterprise users, 99.9% uptime SLA, and 10M+ workflows run. Only the star count is independently checkable; the other three are self-reported with no linked methodology, dashboard, or audit, so they're included here as claims, not facts. Similarly, '30,000+ users and customers' and the named customer logos (CarEdge, pilot, Valence Intelligence, rapidAND, Legion Health, ONLAYER, Pathmonk) come from the vendor's own homepage, not from those companies directly.

SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance (with BAA) are Enterprise-tier features on the pricing page, not available on Free, Hobby, or Pro. The homepage badges 'HIPAA Compliant' and 'SOC2 Compliant' at the top without a tier qualifier, which reads as company-wide but the pricing and feature-comparison table make clear those protections only apply to the custom Enterprise contract. Skyvern links a Trust Center at trust.skyvern.com for compliance documentation, though it's a JS-rendered page with no static content accessible without a browser.
