# Firecrawl vs Apify

Firecrawl is a **developer-first API primitive**: call clean endpoints for scrape, crawl, search, and extraction with LLM-ready Markdown out. Apify is a **platform of pre-built Actors**: thousands of site-specific scrapers with scheduling, storage, and proxies around them. If you're feeding AI pipelines from code, Firecrawl wins; if you want ready-made scrapers for known sites running on a schedule, Apify does.

## The decision

Both pull web data at scale. The split is primitive versus marketplace: Firecrawl gives you clean general-purpose endpoints, Apify gives you packaged scrapers plus the infrastructure to run them.
