| | WebExtract | Jina Reader | Firecrawl |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account or API key needed to start | No (free opt-in, or pay per call) | Rate-limit table, Reader API row: 20 RPM "w/o API Key", 500 RPM "w/ Free API Key", 500 RPM "w/ Paid API Key", 5000 RPM "w/ Premium API Key" | Docs, "Get started": "No account or API key is required for this request." and "Add an API key when you need higher limits." |
| Markdown output | yes (`/v1/markdown`) | yes (`r.jina.ai/<url>`) | yes (`formats: ["markdown"]`) |
| Structured JSON | fixed schema in `/v1/extract`: `product`, `tables`, `metadata` | FAQ: "Use the x-json-schema header with a JSON schema definition, or use x-instruction header with natural language instructions. Both features work with ReaderLM-v2" | "structured JSON" format (their docs); pricing page: "the JSON, Question, and Highlight formats add 4 credits per page" |
| How it is priced | per call: $0.002 markdown, $0.005 extract (x402 quote, `results/quotes.json`); prepaid credits also exist | tokens: the Reader API row says "Count the number of tokens in the output response"; the token price is not on the page we read | credits: 1 credit per scraped page; plans from Free (1,000 credits per month, "no card") to Scale; pricing page: "we add credits in 5 USD increments" on paid plans |
| Payment methods | USDC through x402 on 7 networks; card (Stripe) for prepaid credits | FAQ: "Payments are processed through Stripe, supporting a variety of payment methods including credit cards, Google Pay, and PayPal"; x402: not found | FAQ: Stripe (cards, PayPal); sold on AWS Marketplace and Google Cloud Marketplace; x402: not found |
| Failed requests | Sandbox: not charged, measured in `results/failures.json`. Live `/v1`: not measured on the paid path, docs state no charge | FAQ: "No, tokens are not deducted for failed requests." | FAQ: "A scrape that returns no result is not charged. A page that responds with an error status such as 403 or 404 is still returned to you and costs 1 credit." |
| Free allowance | 20 calls per caller IP per day, REST and MCP share one counter (REST needs the opt-in header; details in the docs) | FAQ: new users get an auto-generated API key with free tokens; without a key the limit above is 20 RPM (a rate limit, not a quota) | Free plan: 1,000 credits per month |
