Here's a list of competitors and how I think we compare with each -

UiPath - Designed for heavyweight Enterprise. We're really not competing for the same market, but their tech is a similar approach. They go for fortunate 500, we go for everyone else.

Zapier - Axiom competes with zapier in some ways. We're different because we automate the Ui, not just APIs, and we integrate with Zapier.

Automatio.co - They seem to emphasise cloud running, and their tool looks a bit more complicated. Most of our bots are actually used locally, where the user processes their own data. We support running in the cloud too. It looks like they're charging for distribution, where we're freemium.

Phantombuster - They focus on templates, rather than 'build your own bot'. Also, nearly all social automations like LinkedIn.

There will be more.

Ultimately, I think browser automation will be similar to API automation, where Zapier, Tray.io et al, all compete with different approaches for different segments of the market.
