Detailed Review
Axiom.ai is browser automation first and scraping second. You build a bot step by step in a Chrome extension, or describe it to an AI, and use a library of actions, scrapers and logic blocks to read data, click and type.
The terms define Axiom as Axiom Ai Limited, a limited company registered in the United Kingdom (company number 11171985). The homepage also states that the company is backed by Y Combinator, which is an investor, not the contracting party.
Run Where You Choose
Bots run in Axiom's cloud, with schedules, concurrency, proxies and error reporting, or on your own computer through the desktop app. The privacy policy says desktop data does not leave your machine, and cloud data is sent to cloud run servers and permanently deleted after use.
Runtime-Based Plans
Plans are measured in runtime hours rather than pages: Starter $15 for 5 hours, Pro $50 for 30 hours, Pro Max $150 for 100 hours and Ultimate $250 for 250 hours monthly (pricing page, 23 October 2026). Cloud runs are limited to 1 bot at a time on Pro and 2 on Pro Max.
Code Option
Developers get a Chrome API that connects Playwright or Puppeteer scripts to cloud Chrome, a Step API with calls such as scrape, click and type, and an Orchestrate API to trigger saved bots over REST.
Limitations to Consider
Billing is by runtime hours, so slow pages consume the allowance, and cloud runs are limited to 2 hours per bot with one concurrent bot on Pro. It is a general browser automation tool, not a dedicated scraping service: for high-volume data collection with managed proxies, an API such as Zyte fits better. The code tools are marked Beta on the homepage.
Who Should Use Axiom.ai
UK and EU office teams that want scraping, form filling and copy-paste work done by one no-code bot, optionally entirely on their own desktop.
