Now my first-choice scraper, and the blocks are the same ones every tool hits

I bought Webclaw and put it through a real head-to-head against Firecrawl, Nimble and BrowserAct on dozens of sites, mostly classifieds and US retail and travel.
Webclaw came out on top, and it's now the first tool my team reaches for.

What stood out:

- Value.
It averaged about 1.6 credits a page in our tests, so the credits go a long way for daily research.
- Coverage.
It handled most of the sites we threw at it, including JS-heavy store pages that come back as an empty shell with plain fetching.
- Search plus scrape in one tool.
We used it for Hebrew and English web searches as well as page scrapes, which cut down on switching tools.
-Easy to wire up.
The MCP connector and REST API both worked out of the box with our AI agents.

How it compares to the others:

- Blocks are comparable, not worse.
Webclaw did hit some walls, but so did every tool we tested. A couple of heavily protected sites (KSP, Skyscanner) blocked all four.
- Firecrawl
was a strong second and occasionally reached a page Webclaw couldn't, but cost more per page.
- Nimble
was the best pick for Booking.com and Google Maps reviews, but it's more specialized.
- BrowserAct
got through some single-listing pages (Yad2 ads, Turo, Payngo) that needed a full browser, but it's slower and heavier, so it's our fallback rather than the default.

What could be better:

- Some searches in quotes sometimes came back empty, and lower-ranked search results were often redirect links that wouldn't open.
- A few sites still need a full-browser fallback.

**Bottom line:
For the price, Webclaw is the best everyday scraper I've tried. The blocks it runs into are the same ones the leading tools hit, and on everything else it's as good or better.

Easy 5 tacos. 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮
