Apify alternative for bring-your-own proxies and models

Actor marketplaces bundle the code, the network and the compute into one opaque unit. Xymotrone splits them apart: you own the proxy contracts and the model, we own the managed browser layer and the record of what it did.

Publicly available data only · GDPR-aligned handling · DPA available · rate-limiting controls built in

Bring your own proxy network

Attach your existing HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 endpoints — residential, ISP or datacenter — group them into pools and rotate per session. No bundled bandwidth you cannot inspect or price.

Bring your own model

Point a run at a hosted model, an OpenAI-compatible cloud endpoint, or a local Ollama, LM Studio or vLLM server. Keys are encrypted server-side and never reach the browser.

Managed browser layer, not a code marketplace

Real Chrome sessions are provisioned, fingerprinted and torn down for you. You describe the goal or the steps; there is no actor to publish, version or trust.

Auditable run history

Every run keeps its steps, screenshots, model reasoning, exit IP, proxy label and CAPTCHA outcomes, so you can replay exactly what happened instead of reading a log tail.

Credentials stay yours

Logins live in an encrypted, write-only bank scoped to your account, matched to domains and rotated across parallel sessions so no two runs share an identity.

Governed by default

Concurrency ceilings and run budgets are enforced server-side, publicly available data only, GDPR-aligned handling and a DPA on request.

Questions people ask

Can I keep my existing proxy provider?

Yes — that is the intended setup. Import endpoints in bulk or sync them by API key, group them into pools, and Xymotrone validates the exit IP and latency before the first navigation.

Do I have to use your AI model?

No. Connect any OpenAI-compatible provider, or run a local model and let the browser bridge relay the calls. The hosted model is a default, not a requirement.

How do I audit what a run actually did?

Open the run and read the timeline: each step records the action, the observation, a screenshot, timings, the proxy used and whether a CAPTCHA was encountered and cleared.
