The Crawlbot enables site-wide crawling, and natural language processing infers entities, relationships, and sentiment. Plans start at $299/month (Startup) up to $899/month (Plus) with enterprise custom.
Viable option — review the tradeoffs
You need to extract structured data from diverse websites without writing custom scrapers or selectors for every site
95%+ accuracy on standard page types (articles, products); occasional failures on exotic layouts; credit-based billing requires monitoring
You want a pre-built knowledge base for RAG without crawling and processing billions of pages yourself
Instant access to massive semantic graph; great for enrichment but pricey at scale; entity coverage strong for public web data
You must crawl entire sites for comprehensive data pipelines but dread maintaining scrapers across layout changes
Reliable for most sites; scales well enterprise-side; watch extraction credits post-crawl (1-2/page)
Steep Pricing for Startups
Plans start at $299/month with credit-based usage; KG queries cost 25-100 credits/record—small projects burn through fast
Credit Overages
Unmonitored crawls or KG exports lead to surprise bills; track usage via dashboard and set alerts to cap spends
