What is Claude in Chrome?
Anthropic’s Claude offers computer use capabilities that can control your browser and desktop. To use Claude for browser automation, you need the Claude Max plan at $100/month.
How dassi is different
dassi lets you use Claude (and other models) for browser automation at a fraction of the cost. Connect your Anthropic API key and pay only for what you use.
Cost comparison
Claude Max costs $100/month for computer use access. With dassi’s BYOK plan at $10/month plus API costs, you’ll typically spend far less — especially for occasional browser automation tasks.
Browser-first design
dassi is purpose-built as a Chrome extension. It’s designed specifically for browser workflows — form filling, data extraction, multi-tab navigation. Claude’s computer use is broader but less specialized for browser tasks.
Multi-model support
With dassi, you’re not limited to Claude. Use GPT for some tasks, Gemini for others, and Claude when it’s the best fit. Switch between models without switching tools.
When to choose Claude in Chrome
If you need desktop automation beyond the browser, or you want the latest Claude features immediately with direct Anthropic support, the Max plan makes sense.
When to choose dassi
If your automation needs are browser-focused and you want Claude at a lower cost — or the flexibility to use other models — dassi is the more practical choice.
