What Crawlbase does well
Crawlbase offers a mature scraping and crawling API with a large proxy pool, plus optional cloud storage and a screenshots API. For teams that want crawling plus managed storage of results in one vendor with a long track record, it's a capable option.
Where Ollagraph goes further
- No content retention, by design. Ollagraph returns your data and keeps URL-level metadata only — we don't store the scraped content itself. That's a deliberate privacy posture, not a missing feature.
- Structured output for LLMs. Clean markdown plus JSON-LD / OpenGraph extraction in the same call.
- Intelligence + vertical actors. DNS/WHOIS/SSL/enrichment and dedicated Amazon/Zillow/Maps extractors alongside the crawl.
- Agent-native. Browser automation with natural-language actions and a Model Context Protocol server.

Who each is best for
