Monocrawl vs Firecrawl
Platform fields.
Defined for you.
Firecrawl turns any web page into markdown or JSON for LLMs. Monocrawl is built around the platforms, with every endpoint’s fields already defined.

- 02
Find the matching endpoints
Search the platform catalogue for each page type, or ask your AI agent to find it over MCP.
- 03
Read the fields
Call the endpoint and read the fields from data. No markdown to parse and no extraction prompt.
- const res = await fetch('https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape', {- method: 'POST', headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${KEY}` },- body: JSON.stringify({ url: pageUrl, formats: ['markdown'] }),- }); // then pull the numbers out of the text+ const res = await fetch('https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/tiktok/profile?handle=nasa',+ { headers: { 'x-api-key': process.env.MONOCRAWL_API_KEY } });+ const { data } = await res.json(); // data.followersPricing
One price per endpoint.
JSON included.
Structured fields are what every endpoint returns, not an extra. Each endpoint’s cost is published, so you can price a feature before you build it.

Questions
Switching from
Firecrawl?
Is Monocrawl a good Firecrawl alternative?
For platform data, yes. If you need followers, prices, ratings, reviews or posts from social, shopping and review sites, Monocrawl returns them as named fields from 70+ platforms, without an extraction step.
How much does Firecrawl cost?
Plans start at $19 a month for 5,000 credits, or $16 a month billed annually. A scrape is 1 credit a page, JSON output adds 4 credits a page, and an X post or thread request is 30 credits. Monocrawl publishes one fixed price per endpoint.
Can Firecrawl get TikTok or Instagram data?
Firecrawl scrapes pages into markdown, HTML or LLM-extracted JSON. Monocrawl has dedicated TikTok and Instagram endpoints that return profiles, posts and comments as structured fields.
How are Monocrawl monitors different?
Monocrawl monitors come ready for each platform: pick a profile, product or search and they track the fields that matter, like a price, a rating or new posts, then tell you what changed. On Firecrawl you define what to extract, and JSON change tracking costs 5 credits a page per check.
Are failed requests charged?
Monocrawl charges nothing for failed calls, including pages that don’t exist. Firecrawl doesn’t charge scrapes that return nothing, but a page with a 403 or 404 status costs 1 credit.
