The top Firecrawl alternative

Scrape, crawl, map, and search the web with more concurrency and a lower price per page.

Why switch

Both scrape, crawl, map, and search the web. Context.dev gives you more concurrent requests and a lower price per page on every paid plan.

Key difference
The same scraping toolkit, with more headroom per dollar
Scrape pages to Markdown, HTML, screenshots, images, or JSON against your schema, with more credits and concurrency on every paid plan.
Search
Search that reads the results for 2 credits, not 12
Ten results with Markdown cost 2 credits.
Billing
Fewer paid add-ons
Highlights add 1 credit instead of 4, and zero data retention adds nothing.

Public list prices on both sites, broken down to the cost of scraping 1,000 pages at each tier.

Tier	Context.dev	Firecrawl
Entry	Developer $19/mo 20,000 credits 10 concurrent $0.95 per 1K pages	Hobby $19/mo 3,000 credits 5 concurrent $6.33 per 1K pages
Mid	Pro $99/mo 150,000 credits 50 concurrent $0.66 per 1K pages	Standard $99/mo 100,000 credits 50 concurrent $0.99 per 1K pages

Cost per 1,000 pages assumes 1 credit per page, the base scrape price on both APIs.
Prices are from each provider's public pricing page.

Both are capable web data APIs. These are the cases where the choice is clear.

“Pricing was what triggered it, and responsive support sealed the deal.”
