AI agents & automation

Which AI tool should I use to give my AI agent web access?

Agents need clean page content (scraping) or a real browser (for logins and clicks). These APIs provide both.

  1. Rank 1

    Firecrawl

    Verdict Turns any URL or whole site into LLM-ready Markdown with one API call, with a free tier for testing. It can struggle with heavily protected sites, and credits go quickly on big crawls.

    Best for
    Feeding website content into RAG or agent prompts
    Price
    Free tier: yes. $19/mo. Free plan: 1,000 credits/month. Hobby $19/mo ($16 annually), 5,000 credits.

  2. Rank 2

    Browserbase

    Verdict Real hosted browsers your agent can drive for logins, clicks and forms. Overkill and costlier if you only need page text.

    Best for
    Agents that must interact with sites, not just read them
    Price
    Free tier: yes. $20/mo. Free plan: 1 browser hour. Developer $20/mo: 100 browser hours.

  3. Rank 3

    Apify

    Verdict Thousands of ready-made scrapers for specific sites (Maps, social, e-commerce) with a free monthly allowance. Pricing per Actor varies and can be hard to predict.

    Best for
    Structured data from popular sites without writing a scraper
    Price
    Free tier: yes. $19/mo. Free plan includes $5/month of platform usage. Starter $19/mo ($17 annually).
