Figranium and Skyvern:
what's the difference?
See how Figranium helps you build, run, and reuse browser automation.
OverviewFigraniumSkyvern
What it doesBuild browser workflows visually, then run them through an API or on a schedule.
Skyvern uses AI to automate browser workflows and interact with websites.
ApproachDefine reusable browser steps explicitly in a visual editor.
Use AI and computer vision for browser automation, with workflow tools.
RunningExecute saved workflows via API or on a schedule.
Run AI-powered tasks and workflows through Skyvern's platform and APIs.
Best fitRepeatable workflows where you want to specify the steps.
Browser tasks where AI-driven interaction fits the problem.
About the tools
About Figranium
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.

Skyvern uses AI and computer vision to automate browser-based workflows. It offers a workflow builder as well as developer tools, with hosted and self-hosted options.
Explore Skyvern docs ↗Your browser automation, on your infrastructure.
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 ↗Why choose Figranium?
For repeatable tasks, Figranium puts you in control of the browser steps. Define and inspect a workflow visually, reuse it through an API or schedule, and connect it to AI agents when you need them.
Explore Figranium docs ↗Start with a template.
Explore 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.

What happens when a website changes?
An explicitly defined Figranium workflow may need its selectors or steps updated. Skyvern uses AI and computer vision for browser interaction, but either approach should be tested when a site changes.
Can an AI agent trigger a Figranium workflow?
Yes. Agents can invoke saved tasks through the REST API or work with Figranium using its MCP integration.
Do both offer a visual way to build workflows?
Yes. Figranium provides a block editor for explicit steps; Skyvern offers a workflow builder alongside its AI-powered browser tools.
