Pick Browse AI if ops and researchers who will pay Personal so more than the Free credit drip and 2 domains can run on a schedule. Pick Crawl4AI if rAG and agent authors who want Markdown out and will stay on Cloud or Docker. Skip Crawl4AI if teams that need a stealth CDP grid (Steel) or neural web ranking (Exa).
