Our verdict: Firecrawl
Best for technical teams building an agent, internal search engine or knowledge base from web content, with modest entry pricing and a self-hosted option. Avoid if no one on your team codes: everything goes through an API and there is no visual interface for defining extraction.
Our verdict: n8n
The choice for technical teams: powerful, economical at scale, and data ownership when self-hosted. Reserve it for those with some technical chops, or get coaching.
