Web data collection is often one step in a larger browser task. Figranium and Maxun offer different ways to handle that work.
Figranium combines extraction with reusable browser interactions such as navigating portals and filling forms. Maxun focuses on web data extraction, crawling, search, and monitoring, with robots created using a recorder or AI.
This comparison looks at their focus, workflow design, and deployment options to help you choose the right tool.

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 ↗Maxun is an open-source web data platform for extracting, scraping, crawling, monitoring, and searching. Its extraction robots can be created with a recorder or AI, and its API and SDKs connect data to other applications.
Explore Maxun 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 lets you combine data extraction with the browser work around it. Navigate portals, fill forms, and extract results in a reusable workflow, then call it from your application through an API.

Maxun is focused on web data extraction, crawling, search, and monitoring. Figranium also extracts data, but is useful when the job includes additional browser steps such as filling forms or navigating a portal.
Yes. Both projects offer self-hosting. You will need to provision and maintain the infrastructure for your chosen deployment.
Both provide APIs. In Figranium, your application can invoke a saved task with runtime variables and use its response.
