The Browserflow alternative for Chrome
RowPlay types every row of your spreadsheet into a website, with no time limit on a run — so a 500-row batch runs to the end. Record once, paste your rows, run. Free, no account. Browserflow is a no-code Chrome extension whose free plan stops each run after 1 minute.
FREE · NO RUN-TIME LIMITS · NO ACCOUNT
Short version: Browserflow’s free plan stops each run after 1 minute, and paid plans are $19–$199 a month. RowPlay has no time limits and no tiers: a long spreadsheet batch runs to the end, with dry run, retries, resume after a crash, and a results sheet showing every row’s status. Browserflow adds cloud runs and custom JavaScript; RowPlay keeps everything in your browser.
One macro. Every row of your spreadsheet.
No one-minute cap on a run. Record the task, paste your rows, run.
Three steps
- 1
Record the task once. Fill in the form the way you normally would. Each click and field becomes a step, shown in plain English.
- 2
Paste your rows from Excel and link each field to a column — or drop in a .xlsx or .csv file. A normal table with headers works.
- 3
Dry run, then Run remaining. Check the first row, then RowPlay does the rest, one row at a time, in your own browser.
Test before you commit
Dry run fills just the first row. If it worked, Run remaining carries on from row 2, so nothing is entered twice.
Retry only what failed
A failed row doesn’t stop the batch. Afterwards, one click re-runs just the rows that failed.
Resume after a crash
Progress is saved after every row. If the browser closes mid-run, pick up from the first row that didn’t run.
A results sheet
Your rows come back with a status column, the reason for any failure and any values you extracted — ready to paste into Excel.
Every kind of field
Text, dropdowns (including custom menus), checkboxes from yes/no columns, and fields that only appear when a box is ticked.
Values that fill themselves
{{today}}, {{row}} and {{random}} add dates, row numbers and unique codes without a column.

Where each tool fits
- You need cloud runs while your computer is off, custom JavaScript, or results written straight back into Google Sheets. RowPlay runs in your browser and gives you a results sheet to paste or download.
