An iMacros alternative for one job: typing spreadsheet rows into a web form

Most people who used iMacros for data entry did one thing with it: loop over a CSV file and fill the same form again and again. Here are two ways to keep doing that today, and how to pick between them.

What you actually need to replace

A typical iMacros data entry macro does four things: read a CSV row, type each value into a field, click save, and start over with the next row. Anything that does those four things reliably, on the web app you use, is a valid replacement. You do not need a full automation platform for that.

Option 1: UI.Vision RPA

UI.Vision RPA is a free, open source browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox, and the closest thing to iMacros in spirit: you record or write a macro, then run it in a loop over a CSV file.

1. Install the extension and record yourself filling the form once.
2. Save your sheet as CSV and upload it in the extension.
3. Add a csvRead command at the start of the macro, and replace each typed value with the matching column variable, such as ${!COL1}.
4. Run the macro with the loop option set to the number of rows.

Good for people comfortable editing a macro, and for flows that span several pages. Less good when the field selectors change between releases of the app, or when the person doing the entry does not want to touch a script.

Option 2: Rowfill

Rowfill skips the macro entirely. You fill the form once, you paste your rows straight from Excel, and it maps each column to a field by its header, then enters the rows one by one.

• No script and no CSV export: copy and paste from Excel.
• Fields are found again by their label when their technical IDs change.
• Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no account, no telemetry.
• One form on one page at a time. Multi-page flows are not supported yet.

Which one to pick

	UI.Vision RPA	Rowfill
Setup	Record, then edit the macro	Fill the form once
Data source	CSV file	Paste from Excel
Multi-page flows	Yes	Not yet
Price	Free, open source	Free up to 25 rows per run, Pro from 9 EUR a month

If you liked scripting iMacros, UI.Vision will feel familiar. If you only ever used it to stop retyping a spreadsheet, Rowfill gets you there without writing anything.
