Crawl a whole site and get clean Markdown, HTML or text for LLMs.
Crawl-first design and per-page pricing with no seat or monthly minimum.
Smaller ecosystem than Firecrawl.
Turn websites into LLM-ready Markdown and structured data.
The reference product in this category; widest integrations.
Credits per action vary (extract and stealth cost more). Price a real workload.
Scrape, crawl, map and search the web via one API for AI agents
Olostep covers scraping, crawling, mapping and search from one API, with monthly plans starting at $9 and a 500-request trial.
The pricing page says plans include successful requests while the FAQ says credits, and the trial's 500 requests are not stated as monthly.
AI scraping API: Markdown, screenshots and JSON extraction via prompts
Useful to compare against providers that sell Markdown or HTML output, because ScrapeGraphAI bills per credit and charges a flat +5 for stealth rather than a multiplier.
Plan 'pages' values are monthly credits, not pages; a scrape costs 1 credit for Markdown, 2 for a screenshot, and extract costs 5 plus any stealth modifier, so credits per page vary by endpoint.
Scrape, crawl and search the web on one API, with its own browser and proxies
Spider combines crawling, scraping, search, a browser API and residential proxies under one key, so it can be compared against both scraping APIs and proxy/browser providers.
Per-endpoint costs, JS and proxy multipliers, page counts per plan and HTML/JSON output support are not stated on the pages visited, so the plans and multipliers are left null until the Scrape and Crawl API docs are checked.
