The honest brief

Jina AI

Prepend r.jina.ai/ to any URL for clean LLM-ready markdown — no signup for basic use, and the Reader is open source.

  • One key spans Reader, embeddings, reranker
  • Reader: URL to clean markdown instantly
  • Open-source Reader + open-weight embeddings
  • Strong multilingual embeddings/reranker
  • Acquired by Elastic (Oct 2025); roadmap may shift
  • Free Reader tier is rate-limited
  • Hosted APIs metered by tokens
  • Narrower than full scraping suites

Voyage AI

Retrieval-tuned embeddings + rerankers (voyage-3.5, rerank-2.5) built to beat general-purpose embedding models on RAG benchmarks.

  • Strong RAG retrieval accuracy
  • Embeddings + rerankers from one vendor
  • Domain and code-specific models
  • Free monthly token allowance
  • Proprietary, API-only — no open weights
  • Roadmap now tied to MongoDB Atlas
  • Hosted-only; metered by tokens
