## Firecrawl → Context.dev

## Why Switch

Markdown export is not the whole product. If you want crawling, brand data, and AI answers without bolting on three more services, the tradeoffs look different.

### Key difference01

#### Stealth is the default, not an add-on

Firecrawl sells stealth as an add-on. Context.dev runs bot detection bypass and automatic proxy escalation on every request, on every plan. Send a URL; we handle the crawl. No extra line item.

### 02Unique to Context.dev

#### Brand data no scraper gives you

Firecrawl hands you content. Context.dev also returns logos, palettes, fonts, design-system signals, and brand metadata as structured fields. One call covers scraping and the brand layer.

### 03Unique to Context.dev

#### AI extraction, not just AI formatting

Ask a natural-language question about a site and get structured answers. Pull every product from a brand's storefront in one call. Firecrawl turns HTML into Markdown; Context.dev is built to answer what the page is actually about.

### 04Unique to Context.dev

#### Image extraction Firecrawl skips

Firecrawl's Markdown path drops images. Context.dev's scrape returns every image URL on the page, deduped. No second pipeline to rebuild asset lists.

### 05Consolidation

#### One API for the whole enrichment stack

With Firecrawl you usually scrape first, then wire up enrichment elsewhere. Context.dev covers scraping, brand data, company intelligence, NAICS codes, and transaction enrichment in one API. Fewer keys, fewer invoices.

### 06Pricing

#### Simpler, predictable pricing

Context.dev does not stack mystery multipliers on "hard" sites. You pick a plan, get a monthly limit, and ship. Scraping, brand lookups, and AI extraction sit on the same subscription.
