Sider
Sider is an AI sidebar and browser agent for Chrome that chats about pages, writes and can carry out multi-step web tasks. It is free to install; paid credit plans start with Nano at US$10 a month on monthly billing.
Description of Sider
Sider is a browser extension that adds an AI sidebar and an agent to Chrome. The homepage shows the agent completing tasks across websites, such as comparing product prices from several stores, and the extension also offers chat, writing and reading help on the page you are viewing. The site lists Chrome Web Store recognition as an Editors' Pick for 2026 and a favourite of 2025.
The pricing page says all plans include all features and that higher plans add more credits and a stronger cloud computer for agent tasks. On monthly billing the plans start with Nano at US$10 a month, for simple occasional tasks, followed by plans at US$25, US$50 and US$100 a month; the larger plans include a cloud computer with stated CPU, memory and storage. Choosing yearly billing gives up to 17 percent off plus bonus credits. Credits are consumed by tasks, and the FAQ explains how to check usage and when member credits reset.
The homepage invites users to get Sider for free, but the pricing page does not state free usage limits, so test it before you depend on it. As with any page assistant, the extension can read the pages where you use it. Sider also offers education and team plans on separate pages, and its footer links to apps beyond the browser extension. The cloud computer on larger plans gives the agent a remote machine with stated CPU, memory and storage for longer tasks.
Features of Sider
- A sidebar for chat, writing and summaries on the current web page.
