Looks like the sky is the limit with what I can do using CheatLayer. Pros GPT-3 code generator is the best! And once a 'cheat' is created, I can run for unlimited times! Cons The onboarding sessions make it easier to know the product. Still, there is a learning curve to getting proficient at CheatLayer. Alternatives considered [Hexomatic](https://www.capterra.com/p/233140/Hexomatic/)[Robomotion](https://www.capterra.com/p/214513/Robomotion/) Reason for choosing Cheat Layer (I do have both these products - just using CheatLayer for my needs.) Switched from [Hexomatic](https://www.capterra.com/p/233140/Hexomatic/) It was a challenge extracting some data from some secured sites. CheatLayer resolved that issue - and with ease! Review Source RA Roy A. owner Photography Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The future of automation" May 18, 2022 5.0 Excellent customer service, a dedicated \[sensitive content hidden\], this will replace Zapier entirely one day. Pros The ability to do anything you can think of. Cons Getting started is no joke. The learning curve is steep if you've never done this before. Alternatives considered [Pabbly Connect](https://www.capterra.com/p/205994/Pabbly-Connect/)[Make](https://www.capterra.com/p/154278/Integromat/) Reason for choosing Cheat Layer A lot more freedom. Switched from [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) With the long term costs of Zapier, this was an easy investment.

That's why I would recommend it. The developer has had huge success because of the potential that it offers individuals and businesses. However, if you're not a coder, you're going to struggle with it, despite the advertising saying that it's for non-coders. The technology is still nascent, and it doesn't work consistently, or at all, and this will be frustrating for people who don't know how to code. But it will likely get better in time. Pros Groundbreaking software that allows you to manipulate websites in a way that has never been done before. Near endless potential for money-making ideas. Cons The software promises the moon, but at the moment it under delivers. It advertises that you can do anything with its no-code automation software, but the code that it generates tends to only work on rare occasions, if at all. You still need to be a JavaScript developer to understand it, edit it, or get it to work properly. Granted that it's still early in its development, but it doesn't exactly deliver on the promise made in its advertisement. There's a big learning curve and you will spend a huge amount of time struggling to get the code that it generates to work properly. Now, if you are a JavaScript developer, then there's enormous potential here. So you have to know this going in. There's also huge room for improvement and new features being added every month, so investing in it now may be a good long-term strategy that will pay for itself moving forward.

Self Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cheat Layer Automation and web scraping" November 27, 2022 5.0 Pros I have been using Cheat Layer for about 1 year, during which I have had the opportunity to attend a bootcamp, work one-one with one of their office hour software engineers and talk to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] himself. Every interaction has been excellent. The dedication and hard work the team puts into this is outstanding.As far as Cheat Layer itself.. it is a very flexible tool. I have used it mainly for scraping websites and populating Google Sheets. There are many no-code “cheats” that you can use for many different situations/solutions, and you can have GPT-3 create code for you based on your “natural language” query and then add to this yourself. A keyboard/action recorder enables almost any set of actions to be taken on a website - part of which is a feature where elements that change, like buttons, will be correctly spotted-whether they change in name, position or both.I like the ability to sell the solutions I create via the white-label option. Cons I can’t think of anything: it is a product that meets many needs and looks to have a bright future. If I had to state something, Cheat Layer no code can be improved but I see that as on the "continually improving" side especially with the upcoming Project Atlas. Switched from [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) Price and being able to completely control the connections Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool for power-users" June 21, 2022 4.0 Take more than a few minutes when researching this product and if you have the patience to learn this, you can do some pretty impressive things without writing code. Pros First thing to understand is that Cheat Layer is a platform more than a product. I love it, and love what it can do. It's a no-code tool that has the potential to do more great things than I first imagined. For the right users (semi-technical business-types and above), it's value is in it's power, not easy of use. There is some remarkable flexibility and a remarkable future ahead as the team rolls out new improvements. They seem to do that regularly the product has a bright future. Cons CL is still in the early days, so don't expect a perfectly polished product. The UI is ugly and very clunky (almost awful) so you'll need to overlook that. And there is a learning curve, but it's value and potential isn't always easy to understand or learn. Alternatives considered [PhantomBuster](https://www.capterra.com/p/173165/Phantombuster/) Reason for choosing Cheat Layer It's more poweful and powerful in different ways. Review Source CR CharlesHenri R. Marketing & Business technologies Civil Engineering Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "First-Time User" May 20, 2022 4.0 The customer service is on point and I think this is what will make you acquire and keep new client regardless of the rather hard to use software (well at least for a beginner that hasn't used your software really much). This is why I think when you want to onboard new clients that may not be expert in the automation industry you need to really support them and be there to answer their questions. Also, you should really focus and analyze the questions that beginners ask because this is a gold mine for content such as Youtube videos. Questions that new users ask should be what you make videos about. Pros All the different integrations. Action recorder is really great to save time and if you don't really know which function to choose Cons It's still not clear what each function does, I'd add some more details for the new user. It would be quicker then to have to check each time in your Youtube videos. Other then this I still have not used the tool enough to tell Alternatives considered [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/)[Octoparse](https://www.capterra.com/p/150508/Octoparse/) Reason for choosing Cheat Layer Well because Zapier isn't a web scraper and Octoparse cannot extract data from images. Also I just find it really nice that your software uses GPT-3 and I know AI will improve so I feel there's an advantage on the long term to use a software that already is implemented with AI Review Source Response from Cheat Layer May 25, 2022 Hello, we have details on our documentation page regarding each action and how they function so I would direct you there if you are unsure of how to use any of the tool's functions AD Ashley D. Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Definitely worth it" April 6, 2022 5.0 So far I can see Cheat Layer being a very important part of my business. I can see that I can integrate very well with almost any other programs I use which is really cool and time saving. The support is awesome and I really like the product. Pros I love that this software can automate almost any repetitive process. I am still learning how it works, but \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and the onboarding totally sold me. How many other softwares offer a LIVE one on one training when you first start using a software? That to me is priceless and I can't wait to do more with Cheat Layer. Cons The onboarding is a bit unclear. I didn't see the "next" button at all at first and there are no shortcuts labeled for Mac users. But this was all cleared up during my live onboarding. I am having some issues with moving between tabs and getting the extension to work, but hopefully support can help with that.

CMO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "very simple automation tool" November 28, 2022 5.0 Pros I like the fact that the tool is so easy to use. To create an automation, I record my actions like clicks and scrolls and I can save them as automations that run in my browser. It also integrates nicely with Google sheets so I can save data to it. Cons When I first started using it, I didn't really like the UI, however it has gotten much better with every update. The dev really listens to his users. Switched from [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) I switched because cheatlayer is more powerful and cheaper. Review Source JDH Jan David H. Founder to-be Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cheat Layer Review" March 31, 2025 4.0 They are pushing for something awesome, and it is a pleasure being part of the process. All startups have some bumps in the road, but Cheat Layer has managed it well, and I look forward to seeing what lies ahead. #excitingtimes Pros It ahs come a long way to unlock its potential, and it is a game changer. It has a dedicated team that is constantly at it to improve it even further. It is so simple - just upload any video of a repetitive task and it generates an agent for you doing that task. It goes way beyond just scraping websites and shines in RPA for web apps. It saves people LOTS of time on repetitive tasks and is INCREDIBLE. Cons With the improvements in the cheat layer product and dashboard, it is now easier to understand the instructions. Review Source VS Veit S. UX Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An excellent tool for automations" April 5, 2025 5.0 Pros Awesome tool to automate things, no matter what idea! Cons Can be a bit complicated to set up at first but when it runs it runs so smoothly. Review Source SA Syed A. IT Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Real Automation Tool - The Cheat Layer" March 1, 2025 5.0 I'm loving it. The onboarding process is smooth. It took just few mins to onboard and deploy agents. Pros Can't believe my own eyes. Cheat Layer can do so many things that too on fully automated. Cons To be honest, I don't see anything as cons as of now, simply because that the amount of automation Cheat Layer can do are so much that small limitation look really negligible Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The handy automation cheater" December 8, 2022 4.0 Pros The possibilites of this tool are vast and almost everything in the web browser can be automated without much of a trouble once you get to understand the work process. Desktop app has been amazing compared to Microsoft automate and robomotion. Love how easily once can create code with AI code writer which is built in to accelerate the automation process. Cons Cheatlater has bit of a learning curver compared to other automation tools out there like pabblu and zapier but will save costs in the long run once the automation tasks are set and running.

District Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Intuitive: Command in english or plug & Play: select, drag, drop and execute right out of the box" May 2, 2022 5.0 Pros We have found Cheat Layer to be a very valuable tool for automating processes that previously were too time consuming and complex to automate. In particular, we have used the product to automate the creation of our CRM and marketing automation workflows. Cons There are not any that I can think of to be honest. Its such a one of a kind product and the CEO is incredibly dedicated.. Review Source KA Ka A.

The automated processes allowed me to save a lot of time and energy, making the whole process much easier and more efficient. I was also able to customize my research process according to my individual needs and preferences. Cons It has some learning curve and that is a bit challenging.

The ability to automate code generation is invaluable, especially when you're working on projects with tight deadlines. I really appreciate the natural language commands that Cheat Layer offers - they cut down on the time I spend on tedious tasks by at least 50%. The platform does have a steep learning curve. The support is great though. The \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] answers a ton of questions on the Facebook group, organises bootcamps and also holds office hours. Pros The GPT-3 powered platform is a great way to automate repetitive browser tasks and web scraping. It uses natural language and converts it into code. This is a great way to save time and automate tasks on the internet. Cons The software has steep learning curve but the support is superb. The \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has a Facebook group as well as office hours to enable support. Review Source EK Eoin K. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool for automating tedious data collection or document creation " November 21, 2022 5.0 Pros Easy to create automations with some playing around with the no code tool. the action recorder is useful for more complex things it creates the automation from watching you complete the tasks that you can then run again whenever you need to repeat the process Cons UI and overlay could do with some polish to adapt to different screen sizes better Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful automation" June 14, 2022 5.0 The founder is awesome and the community around cheat layer is very supportive :) Pros The best thing about this is the freedom to create nearly any automation I desire for my business. Cons The learning curve is a bit steep... but you just have to push through the comfort zone! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Principal Investment Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "RPA is easy with Cheat Layer" November 26, 2022 5.0 RPA or automation things will definitely replace some of our works in near future. Learning them in advance is a worthy investment in oneself. Pros UI/UX: definitely it is UI/UX. You have no problem in using the software. What really matters would be to map out logic flow. It's like making ppt. You know how to open and use ppt, but you may not be good at making quality ppt. It's the same thing. Software itself is very user-friendly, but drafting out quality logic flow may take some time. But there are a couple of pre-made templates you can refer to from the website. Cons Desktop app: not yet an official version. But the team said that the official one will be released soon. It's a bit unstable, not really critical though. Comparing to browser ver., desktop ver. should enhance its usability further. Review Source NH Naz H. Marketing Consultant Market Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing automation tool, replacing VAs" April 11, 2022 5.0 The support and the app are both brilliant, the team is dedicated, and I've seen frequent updates; I also like the fact that there is a marketplace, so I can save time by getting experts to create some tasks for me. Pros I love that Cheatlayer can record my actions and repeat these to create automation functionality. Cons There is a learning curve which they do a great job of helping you to grasp this but to master it; you are better off learning some Javascript. Review Source DL David L. Onwer E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solopreneur/ Virtual Assistant Use This To Cheat" May 6, 2022 5.0 Pros As the title implies, some productive people might be using this to cheat their way thru. Because this is a comprehensive and very powerful tool. The amazing part is that you can produce 'code' without being a coder yourself. (by using the build-in GPT3 feature) With this tool, you can scrap, print screens and automate plenty of stuff. Your only limit is your imagination. Apart from these, the support team is amazing and the founder seems to be a very genuine guy. Cons For a powerful tool like this, do expect some learning curve. But it will be easy once you get the hang of it. Review Source JA Jip A.

May 5, 2022 5.0 I am not using cheatlater to its full extend which seems to be pretty impressive. I am just automating simple processes and without any experience in this, I can set up automation pretty quickly without too much of a hastle. Pros What I like most about cheatlayer, is the option to 'record' a certain sequence of actions that you execute yourself, which is then automatically transformed into an automated sequence that cheatlayer can execute for you (or that you can further elaborate upon). Cons The GUI (layered over your browser view) sometimes feels a bit 'unstable'. Review Source Adam P.

Pros it is visual and simple to use. You still need to understand code but this tool is extremely close to closing the gap between a coder and a person who just intuitively finishes the task. Cons The low variety between the free cheat codes now, which is acceptable for a great tool at the beginning of its journey. Review Source Scott R.

It's been quite the journey, with countless products and platforms coming and going, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. However, my recent experience with a large enterprise client left me feeling overwhelmed and in search of a solution to streamline my workflow.After hearing about ChatGPT, I initially hesitated and thought it needed more time to mature.
