Firecrawl vs Apify60 against 70

Two platforms rather than two fetch endpoints. Firecrawl sells pages as clean text at one credit each, 1,000 free a month, $16 for 5,000 or $83 for 100,000 at annual prices, with scrape, crawl and search from one balance; Apify sells compute at $0.20 a unit and a store of 70,495 ready-made scrapers, $5 of free usage a month and a $19 plan that is also $19 of usage. Firecrawl when the output is for a model, Apify when a scraper for the target already exists in the store.
