AgentQL

What it is for

AgentQL is a natural-language web query workspace: the signed-out playground (see the cover: query { job_categories jobs[] { company_name role } } beside a live Y Combinator jobs page) is the product. Use it when the job is point at a URL and extract a shaped list, not when you need a long-running browser agent.

The SDKs are MIT. Cloud Starter is $0/month. Professional is the first public paid card.

What makes it unique: the cover is the live dev.agentql.com/playground with a real query and a real jobs page — not an OG wordmark.

Key features

• Playground — query pane + live page + Fetch Data (cover).
• Query language — { search_button } or { headings[] } as the docs show.
• Playwright SDKs — Python and JavaScript wrap a page and run the same query.
• REST API — extract without an SDK; billed per API call.
• Debugger extension — refine queries in Chrome DevTools before you ship.

Who it's for

Best fit: engineers scraping or clicking structured fields who will pay per call.

Poor fit: teams that want a full agent loop (Browser Use) or a crawl-to-markdown API (Firecrawl).

Limitations / costs

• Starter’s 50 calls/month is a thin meter. Overages are $0.02/call.
• Remote browser time is a second meter. Starter overage is $0.12/hour.
• Playground fetch still needs a key for live data on some hosts.
• It is a query layer. It is not a scheduled agent cockpit.

Alternatives

• Firecrawl — scrape/crawl playground billed in page credits.
• Crawl4AI — OSS crawler plus Cloud from $10/month.
• Skyvern — prompt-to-agent Studio; Hobby $29.
