Ubot Studio

http://ubotstudio.com/features-benefits.aspx

Ubot Studio $250 but you can find $50 off coupons. There's no freeware/trail version.

Ubot is a little different than the other popular macro builders Imacros and Winautomation. Ubot is designed for web related stuff, like filling forms, etc. The other two are better at automating Windows stuff.

It's powerful and can do a lot of stuff, but it also has a lot of drawbacks. The main one being, despite the sales pages saying it's easy, you really need an understanding of programming to use it.

The people that do the best with it seem to be folks that can already program in another language, but use Ubot to build some simple bots quickly.

People like me that know HTML well and read a chapter about programming get stuck. I have 7-8 very cool bots on my hard drive I'd like to share, except they are only 90% done. I just can't figure out how to do the remaining 10%.

I get "stuck" pretty often and have to spend an hour or more figuring out how to do something that takes a minute if you knew how to do it.

Having said that, I would buy it again. It can be frustrating at time with my skill level, but if your primary use is for your own stuff, and you learn the basics, it can be very powerful as it lets you build a bot for just about any type of site.

If you do get Ubot, don't go in thinking you'll master it all. Instead, learn the basics like form filling, captcha solving, scraping and mixed with other programs and automation tools, can be a very potent mix filling it where other programs leave off.

And...Both Ubot and Ghost Control work well with your Tuelz...
