## Firecrawl fits better if…

- You need data from arbitrary websites, not only the platforms we cover.
- You want to crawl whole sites or feed pages as Markdown into an LLM.
- You run about 5,000 simple product pages a month – Firecrawl's product format is cheaper there.

## everydata.io fits better if…

- You need the same fields on every call – offers, sellers, variants, reviews, ratings – without writing or tuning an extraction schema.
- You work at 50k requests a month or more, where our price per request is lower than Firecrawl's product format and far below its JSON extraction.
- Your agent should get typed tools per platform (amazon_offers, otto_product …) instead of a generic scrape tool.

## FAQ

### When is a generic scraper like Firecrawl the better choice?

When the sites change from task to task. A structured API only pays off for the platforms it covers; for everything else a generic scraper plus an LLM is more flexible.

### How were the prices compared?

We took the cheapest Firecrawl plan with monthly billing whose credits cover each volume, at 1 credit per page for the product format and 5 for JSON extraction, assumed full use and divided the price by the volume. Firecrawl lists prices in USD, we list ours in EUR; they are shown side by side without conversion.
