Smaller ecosystem than Firecrawl.

02
Firecrawl

Turn websites into LLM-ready Markdown and structured data.

Why compare

The reference product in this category; widest integrations.

Watch for

Credits per action vary (extract and stealth cost more). Price a real workload.

Jina Reader

Convert any URL to LLM-friendly text by prepending r.jina.ai

Why compare

Jina Reader is a URL-to-LLM-text endpoint with a free API key tier and a companion search endpoint, which makes it a lightweight option for grounding LLMs.

Watch for

Billed in tokens, not pages: $50 buys 1B tokens ($0.05 per 1M), and tokens per page vary with content length, so cost per page is not estimated here. The free 10M tokens are non-commercial only (CC-BY-NC). Published rate limits are 20 RPM without a key, 500 RPM with a key and 5000 RPM on premium.

Olostep

Scrape, crawl, map and search the web via one API for AI agents

Why compare

Olostep covers scraping, crawling, mapping and search from one API, with monthly plans starting at $9 and a 500-request trial.

Watch for

The pricing page says plans include successful requests while the FAQ says credits, and the trial's 500 requests are not stated as monthly.

Spider Cloud

Scrape, crawl and search the web on one API, with its own browser and proxies

Why compare

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.

Watch for

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.
