webrain vs Firecrawl
Firecrawl is a commercial scraping platform — a hosted API plus Python/Node SDKs, with an open-source self-host option and an MCP server. webrain is an open-source local MCP server — install one binary, no API key, no cloud.
Pick Firecrawl when you want a managed API — no infra, per-request
billing, high-scale crawling as a service.
Pick webrain when you want free, local, MCP-native scraping with full
control (engines, stealth login, sessions) and no data leaving your machine.
