Paste a URL, get structured output in 30 seconds. Firecrawl is faster to a single markdown blob, but you still need to write the prompt + parse the result yourself.
Built-in contacts, leadership, pricing, and social link tabs. Plus a one-click "share as public link" — neither is in Firecrawl.
6 well-documented REST endpoints, great SDKs, and the canonical "scraping-for-LLMs" shape. If you're shipping code, Firecrawl is the right pick.
Built for millions of pages per month with sub-second latency. DatIQ's batch and schedule layer is for the 10–500 URL range.
