Firecrawl – The Ultimate Web Data API for RAG and AI Agents | Quasa.io

#Quasa #QUA #Firecrawl

Firecrawl is a web data API: search, scrape, crawl, map, and interact, then return LLM-ready markdown or JSON. Official self-serve: Free 1,000 credits a month, two concurrent browsers, no card. Hobby $16 a month billed yearly ($19 monthly) for 5,000 credits and five browsers. Standard $83 yearly for 100,000 credits. Growth 500,000. Scale $599 yearly for 1 million. Enterprise custom. One credit is roughly one page; search costs more. Empty scrapes are free; 403/404 still bill one credit. PAYG top-ups exist on paid plans. Open source if you self-host. It is not a legal license to ignore robots.txt and not a full browser farm. Prototype on Free. Buy Hobby for a side agent. Jump to Standard when concurrency and volume bite.
