Firecrawl
- +Single API that reliably handles JavaScript, crawling, proxies, and anti-bot so agents get clean web data
- +Open-source core with self-host option and broad framework, SDK, and MCP integrations
- +Prompt-driven /agent and /extract endpoints reduce per-site scraper maintenance
- -It is infrastructure, not a turnkey agent; you still build the application around it
- -Usage-based credits can add up at high crawl volumes
TinyFish
- +Built for production reliability and compliance on dynamic, authenticated pages at enterprise scale
- +AgentQL's natural-language, self-healing selectors cut the maintenance cost of traditional scrapers
- +MCP-native with SDKs and REST API, so it drops into existing agent stacks
- -Enterprise platform side is contact-sales with no public self-serve pricing
- -Newly launched (2025) at the company level, so long-term production track record is still building
