Credit rates for browser time, proxy traffic and AI calls are not published, and the developer changelog's last entry is dated 3 September 2025.\n\n**TinyFish.** OpenAPI documents are published for five APIs, errors carry typed codes and request IDs, and Search and Fetch are free within daily allowances. The terms let Tiny Fish train its models on customer data, run creation takes no idempotency keys, and the status page shows an hour or more of downtime on several days for the Browser and Search APIs.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Airtop\n\n1. Terminate every session with `DELETE /v1/sessions/{id}`. Sessions bill in 30-second increments and idle ones last 10 minutes by default\n2. Set `costThresholdCredits` on AI calls and read `meta.usage.credits` afterwards. Credit rates are not published, so measure them\n3. Use `page-query` with `configuration.outputSchema` for structured output. `prompt-content` and `summarize-content` are deprecated\n4. When calling REST without the SDK, poll session status until `running` before creating a window. Only the SDK waits for you\n5. Airtop's integrated proxy cannot reach LinkedIn, ticketing sites and some banks and streaming services. Bring a custom proxy for those\n\n### TinyFish\n\n1. Check `result` as well as `status`. A run can be `COMPLETED` while the goal failed, with `result.status` set to `failure`\n2. Don't retry `POST /v1/automation/run` blindly after a timeout. There are no idempotency keys, so list runs first to avoid duplicates\n3. Use `/v1/automation/run-async` or `/run-sse` when a run may need cancelling. Runs started with the synchronous endpoint can't be cancelled\n4. Allow 60 seconds for Browser session creation, connect Playwright to `cdp_url` (not `base_url`), and `DELETE` the session when done because billing is per minute\n5. Never put passwords in `goal`, which is logged. Pass `use_vault: true` with `credential_item_ids`, or `use_profile: true` for saved login state\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Airtop or TinyFish?\n\nTinyFish scores 67.7 (B) on agent readiness against Airtop's 55.3 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Airtop leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Airtop and TinyFish need an API key?\n\nAirtop needs an API key. TinyFish takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Airtop and TinyFish without installing anything?\n\nYes. Airtop has a hosted endpoint at https://api.airtop.ai/api and TinyFish at https://agent.tinyfish.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/airtop-vs-tinyfish.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/airtop-vs-tinyfish.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"airtop\", \"b\": \"tinyfish\"}`.
