The honest brief
Apify
A marketplace of thousands of ready-made serverless scraping 'Actors' you can run or fork, versus building every crawler from scratch.
- Serverless 'Actors' scale automatically
- Outputs clean Markdown/JSON for LLMs
- Maintains open-source Crawlee
- LangChain/LlamaIndex integrations
- Usage-based costs add up at scale
- Learning curve for custom Actors
- Platform itself is closed/hosted
- Scraping reliability varies by site
Hyperbrowser
Ships an official MCP server and open-source HyperAgent on top of the browser fleet, so LLMs reach the live web without you running infra.
- Sub-second session launches
- Stealth, proxies, and CAPTCHA solving built in
- Drives Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium
- Scales to many concurrent sessions
- Session-based pricing on a monthly base
- Infra layer — you still build the agent
- Cloud-only, no self-host
