#1 Firecrawl Alternative
Both APIs scrape the web and extract branding. Context.dev goes further: brand entities resolved across the web, company data, classification, and product extraction, with stealth included on every request, not billed at 5x.
Firecrawl → Context.dev
Why Switch
Firecrawl is a solid scraper. But if you also need resolved brand entities, company data, and product extraction without bolting on more services, the tradeoffs look different.
Resolved brand entities, not per-page guesses
Firecrawl's branding format scrapes whatever one page happens to render. Context.dev resolves brand entities across the web: canonical logos, colors, fonts, socials, and company metadata you can look up by domain, company name, email address, or stock ticker, not just by URL.
Stealth included, not billed at 5x
Firecrawl bills enhanced proxies at up to 5 credits per request for sites with advanced anti-bot protection. Context.dev runs bot detection bypass and automatic proxy escalation on every request, on every plan, at no extra credit cost.
Company data no scraper gives you
NAICS and SIC industry classification, transaction and merchant-descriptor enrichment, ticker and ISIN resolution, email-to-company lookup. Firecrawl is a scraping tool; Context.dev is also an entity-data API.
Purpose-built product extraction
Both APIs do schema-based extraction. Context.dev goes further with dedicated product endpoints: detect a product page from a URL and get a normalized record, or pull a brand's full catalog from its domain in one call. No schema to write.
One API for the whole enrichment stack
Scrape Markdown, HTML, images, screenshots, and sitemaps. Search the web. Extract fonts and full design systems. Then enrich with brand profiles, industry codes, and transaction data, all on one key. With Firecrawl you wire up enrichment elsewhere.
Deeper image and asset extraction
Context.dev's image scrape goes beyond <img> tags: inline SVGs, data URIs, responsive srcset sources, CSS backgrounds, video posters, and embeds, with optional metadata enrichment. Built for asset pipelines, not just content.
Full Comparison
Cost per 1,000 Pages
Public list prices on both sites, broken down to the cost of scraping 1,000 pages at each tier. Worst case assumes monthly billing and stealth on every page. Context.dev costs the same either way.
1. Best case: most cost-effective billing with standard scrapes (1 credit per page on both APIs). Worst case: monthly billing with stealth scraping on every page.
2. Both APIs bill standard scrapes at 1 credit per page. Firecrawl bills enhanced (stealth) proxies at up to 5 credits per page and JSON extraction at 5 credits per page. Context.dev includes stealth and proxy escalation at 1 credit per page on every plan, so its cost per page never changes.
3. Firecrawl monthly-billing prices ($19, $99, $399, $749) are derived from the yearly savings shown on firecrawl.dev/pricing. Context.dev figures use standard monthly pricing in both cases: with stealth included at 1 credit per page, best and worst case are identical.
4. Context.dev brand entity retrievals cost 10 credits per lookup. Logo Link traffic has its own quota and does not consume credits.
Ready to ditch Firecrawl?
Switch in minutes. Same general REST workflow, plus resolved brand entities and company data on the same key. Stealth is included on every plan, with no extra credits for hard sites.
