Turns websites into markdown for LLMs. Open-source repo plus a cloud API with a free plan.
Firecrawl crawls pages into markdown for language models. We checked the site, pricing, docs, and the GitHub release. The pricing crawl mentioned a free or hobby plan and a $0 sample, with paid tiers above that. We did not run a local install.
Best for
- Turning pages into clean text for retrieval
- Teams that want either a cloud API or an open-source repo
Not ideal for
- Interactive browser tasks such as clicking and login flows
- A general web-search API — that is a different job
What we checked
Docs checked means we opened the official site and the pricing and docs URLs on this page. We did not run a successful local install, so this is not a smoke test.
No local install attempted (SaaS/desktop/extension or install not feasible without account).
