# Kaabist vs Skyvern

Skyvern is an AI agent platform that runs browser workflows and caches successful runs as code that is regenerated by the agent when a page changes. Kaabist runs fixed programs that pause when a site needs you (a 2FA code, an approval) and continue from their last checkpoint once you answer, guards every step that submits so it never runs twice, delivers healing as fixes you review, and discovers a site's APIs.

Skyvern, in their words: "AI agents to automate workflows on any website." (https://www.skyvern.com)

Skyvern pricing: Free plan with 5,000 one-time credits; Hobby $29/month for 30,000 credits; Pro $149/month for 150,000 credits; Enterprise custom. Source: https://www.skyvern.com/pricing

## Capabilities

| Capability | Kaabist | Skyvern | Note and source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logged-in, multi-step flows | yes | yes | Workflows chain blocks for login, navigation, actions and extraction, and later blocks can use earlier outputs. https://www.skyvern.com/docs/developers/getting-started/core-concepts.md |
| Persistent sessions | yes | yes | Browser profiles save cookies and localStorage so later runs start logged in; a credential vault handles passwords and TOTP. https://www.skyvern.com/docs/developers/optimization/browser-profiles.md |
| Self-healing locators, delivered as proposals you review | yes | partial | When cached code fails because a page changed, Skyvern falls back to the agent and regenerates the cache automatically; we found no review step. https://www.skyvern.com/docs/developers/features/code-caching.md |
| Resume a program from its checkpoint after a person answers | yes | partial | A Human Interaction block pauses a workflow for approve or reject and auto-continues after a timeout; human-in-the-loop is listed on the Enterprise plan. https://www.skyvern.com/docs/cloud/building-workflows/configure-blocks.md |
| Side-effect fences: a submit never runs twice | yes | no | The error-handling docs describe retries but no mechanism to keep a submit step from running twice after a crash or retry. https://www.skyvern.com/docs/developers/going-to-production/error-handling.md |
| A coding agent builds the program over MCP | yes | yes | Hosted and self-hosted MCP servers with 75+ tools for browser sessions, actions, credentials and workflows. https://www.skyvern.com/docs/developers/getting-started/mcp.md |
| Schedules and change detection | yes | partial | Workflows run on cron schedules with a timezone and a 5-minute minimum; we found no change detection between runs. https://www.skyvern.com/docs/cloud/building-agents/scheduling.md |

## When to choose Skyvern

You want an AI agent to build and run browser workflows from natural-language goals, with built-in credential and TOTP handling, and automatic cache regeneration suits you.
