We name what each alternative does well first, then where Ollagraph goes further. No straw men.
Firecrawl popularized clean markdown for LLM workflows. Ollagraph matches that quality and ships a complete intelligence layer, vertical actors, and browser automation alongside.
ScraperAPI nailed developer ergonomics — a clean API, fast onboarding, simple pricing. Ollagraph matches that simplicity and ships structured output, an intelligence layer, and vertical actors in the same API.
Octoparse pioneered no-code visual scraping for non-developers. Ollagraph is the API-first alternative for teams who'd rather call an endpoint than configure a desktop workflow.
Diffbot built automatic AI extraction and a web-scale Knowledge Graph. Ollagraph overlaps on automatic extraction and adds scraping control, vertical actors, and agent-native tooling at a developer-friendly entry point.
Zyte (formerly Scrapinghub) is the Scrapy company — managed crawl infrastructure, a smart proxy/unblocker, and automatic extraction for large engineering teams. Ollagraph is the consolidated single-API alternative.
