Choose where it runs

Cloud uses a fresh managed browser. The extension uses the sites you are already signed into.

Your browser is required. This template needs a site where you are signed in.

Choose a connected browser

Open the rtrvr extension and sign in with the same account, then choose your browser here.

Sign in to connect

Start this task in Free Mode in Cloud or your connected Chrome. Cookie sync, schedules, and triggers require a subscription. Compare plans →

Free usage, ads, and data terms

Free Mode includes supported AI models and Cloud browser time for tasks you start in the extension or Cloud dashboard. No AI API key or paid AI subscription is required. Sponsored cards and a daily fair-use allowance apply. Your account shows the current allowance and reset time. When you reach it, wait for the reset, use your own AI provider, or choose a paid plan. Your provider may charge for its usage.

One schedule that runs once a day or less often, in the Cloud or in your Chrome, is included, paid from the daily allowance. More schedules, faster schedules, triggers, cookie sync, API runs, rtrvr's agent over MCP, and WhatsApp tasks require a paid plan. Browser tools that let your own AI drive your Chrome over MCP are free on every plan. Data enrichment and managed proxies can use credits separately.

On the free plan, Cloud API calls made with an API key, the MCP Cloud tools (cloud_agent, cloud_scrape, and agent or scrape when they run in Cloud), and WhatsApp tasks need a paid plan, as does running rtrvr's agent in your Chrome through API or MCP. Free Mode covers the tasks you start in the extension or Cloud dashboard. On a paid plan, API, MCP, and WhatsApp runs use credits for the resources they consume.

Free Mode involves sponsored content in both the Chrome extension and Cloud, as described in the Terms and Privacy Notice.

Using your own AI provider avoids model-credit charges and the Free Mode allowance. Cloud resources and managed services may still use credits. Sponsored cards still appear on the free plan. Paid plans offer ad-free runs.
