Feature-by-feature comparison
Verdict
Firecrawl wins for crawl-scale workloads (50K+ pages/mo, full-site crawls). Scavio wins for n8n LLM flows that pull 1-100 pages/day and would benefit from Reddit/YouTube/Amazon under the same key.
Consider Scavio instead
Most n8n LLM workflows are below the Firecrawl-makes-sense threshold. Scavio's $30/mo for 7K credits handles 100+ extracts/day plus search/Reddit/YouTube under one key, simplifying the n8n auth flow.
