Quick answer
Skyvern scores 65/100 (FADING) on Hlido’s independent, hands-on test (reviewed 2026-05-23). FADING (65) due to unclear differentiation and lack of user engagement metrics. Pricing was not findable on the public surface when tested.
Skyvern, a browser-focused tool, currently finds itself in a challenging position. With a score of 65, it is categorized as FADING, indicating a decline in perceived value or functionality. The lack of verifiable claims and unclear user engagement metrics suggest that Skyvern may not be meeting the evolving expectations of users. In a crowded market filled with robust alternatives like Brave, Firefox, and Chrome, Skyvern must articulate its unique value proposition to compete effectively. Without significant improvements or differentiation, it risks being overlooked by potential users.
Why FADING
FADING (65) due to unclear differentiation and lack of user engagement metrics. A shift to STEADY would require demonstrable improvements in user acquisition and retention, alongside a clearer value proposition.
