Figranium and Automa both make browser automation visual, but they put the workflow in different places.
Figranium runs saved browser tasks on your own instance and exposes them through an API or scheduler. Automa is a browser extension where you connect blocks into workflows that run in the browser environment.
Compare how each tool is built and run, and see which approach suits your browser tasks and integrations.

Automating work directly in a browser extension.
Figranium is an open-source, self-hosted browser automation platform. Build browser actions in a visual block editor, then run saved tasks through the REST API or on a schedule. It also supports runtime variables, proxy configuration, and integrations with automation tools and AI clients.
Explore Figranium docs ↗Automa is a browser extension that connects blocks into workflows for tasks such as filling forms, scraping data, and taking screenshots. It also supports scheduled workflows and a workflow marketplace.
Explore Automa docs ↗Figranium is open source and self-hosted. Install it on a machine or server you control: the browser, workflow execution, and saved data run on that instance. Trigger tasks through its API or scheduler without moving the runtime to a managed platform.
You choose and pay for the infrastructure, and you are responsible for setup, updates, security, and maintenance. Data can still leave your instance when you configure external services or visit websites; optional anonymous telemetry can be disabled.
Explore deployment options ↗Figranium brings browser workflows into your application stack. Build a task visually, run it on your own instance, and trigger it from an API or schedule—ideal when browser automation needs to be part of a larger service.
Explore Figranium docsExplore pre-built Figranium workflows for tasks like data extraction, monitoring, and enrichment. Use a template as a starting point, then adapt the browser steps to your needs.
Figranium runs tasks on your self-hosted instance and can trigger them by API or schedule. Automa runs as a browser extension, so its execution depends on its browser environment.
There is no direct import described here. Recreate the steps in Figranium's editor and test them against the target site.
Figranium exposes saved tasks through its REST API, so an application can invoke a task and pass runtime variables.
