You want structured data from any URL in under 30 seconds, without writing code, and you value the built-in contacts / leadership / pricing / social enrichment tabs. DatIQ is ideal for sales, marketing, research, and SEO teams that want results, not infrastructure.
You want full programmatic control over every request, you need raw markdown / JSON at scale (millions of pages a month), and you live in your IDE rather than a web app. Firecrawl's API and SDKs are built for that exact shape of work.
No-code UI vs point-and-click robot building.
Single-URL extraction vs 150-provider enrichment waterfall.
Zero setup vs a marketplace of 1,000+ "Actor" scrapers.
Web extraction vs LinkedIn/social automation.
