Which should you choose?
Firecrawl is the lighter-weight option (Freemium), while Amazon Bedrock sits higher on the pricing ladder (Paid). Amazon Bedrock is built around enterprises already standardized on aws; Firecrawl leans more toward teams building competitor and market monitoring workflows. Shortlist the one whose strengths line up with your biggest constraint.
