## What has to be true to appear here

- Drives a real browser engine, not an HTTP scraper
- Handles authenticated sessions with credential storage the customer controls
- Provides a replayable trace of every action taken
- States a policy on site terms of service and rate limiting

## What every product here was put through

1. Run a 12-step authenticated task across three unfamiliar sites and measure completion rate over 50 attempts
2. Change a target site's layout and measure how many runs recover without a human editing the script
3. Measure cost and wall-clock time per completed task, including retries
4. Check what the product does when it encounters a bot check. We require it to stop and report, not attempt a bypass

## Frequently asked questions

### Is browser automation allowed?

It depends entirely on the target site's terms and on your jurisdiction, and the answer is different for your own accounts than for third-party sites. Every product here can be used in ways that breach a site's terms. We test only against sites we control or that permit automation, and we score products down if they attempt to defeat bot detection rather than stopping and reporting.
