Our take
Pick Firecrawl if developers who need markdown from a URL and will stay on Cloud or self-host. Pick Oxylabs if scraping / proxy teams who will start with the $5 welcome credits, then Starter at $30/month when they need a first paid pool, or Basic at $100 when residential GB and scrape results grow. Skip Firecrawl if teams that want ranked neural search (Exa) or a hosted browser session grid (Browserbase).
