## Frequently Asked Questions

### General
- **What does Skyvern do?** — Skyvern is an AI-powered browser automation platform that replaces brittle scripts with intelligent agents that navigate and interact with any website — just like a human would. Describe what you want done in plain English and Skyvern figures out how to do it.
- **How is Skyvern different from Selenium, Playwright, or traditional RPA?** — Traditional tools rely on hardcoded selectors and break whenever a site changes. Skyvern uses AI to understand page intent, adapts automatically to UI changes, handles CAPTCHAs and pop-ups out of the box, and lets you define workflows in natural language — with near-zero ongoing maintenance.
- **Can Skyvern handle complex, multi-step workflows?** — Yes. Skyvern chains together sequences like logging into a portal, handling 2FA, navigating multi-page forms, filling fields, downloading documents, uploading them elsewhere, and syncing confirmation numbers to your database. Each step is a reusable block with per-step debugging.
- **Does Skyvern have an API?** — Yes — Skyvern is API-first. Everything you can do in the dashboard, you can do programmatically: create and manage workflows, trigger runs with custom parameters, receive webhook callbacks, and download extracted data. Python and TypeScript SDKs plus a full REST API.
- **How does Skyvern handle anti-bot detection?** — Skyvern includes multiple layers of protection: full browser fingerprint management (JA3/JA4 TLS, WebGL, canvas), human-like mouse movements and typing, automated CAPTCHA solving for reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha, geographic proxy rotation with residential IPs, and intelligent rate limiting.
- **Is Skyvern SOC 2 compliant?** — Yes. Skyvern maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance, verified through annual third-party audits. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). SOC 2 report, penetration test results, and security questionnaire responses available upon request.

### Pricing
- **What plans does Skyvern offer?** — Free (1,000 credits/month, no credit card required), Hobby ($29/mo, 30,000 credits/month), Pro ($149/mo, 150,000 credits/month with team workspaces), and Enterprise (custom pricing with unlimited credits, self-hosted deployment, HIPAA compliance, and SLA guarantees).
- **What counts as a run or credit?** — A run is one workflow execution. Whether it spans 1 page or 20 steps, it counts as a single run. Credits are consumed based on the complexity and duration of each run.
- **Can I try Skyvern for free?** — Yes. The free Starter plan gives you 1,000 credits with full API access — no credit card required. Most customers are running their first production workflow within a day.
