Our take
Pick Firecrawl if developers who need markdown from a URL and will stay on Cloud or self-host. Pick Scrapfly if scraper teams who will burn the Free 1,000 credits at $0 while they open a first Monitoring list, then Discovery at $30/month (200,000 credits) when the quota caps, or Pro at $100 when they need pay-as-you-go overflow. Skip Firecrawl if teams that want ranked neural search (Exa) or a hosted browser session
