## Which one, for what

### jevcrawl (B)

Good for: An agent that must find one answer several clicks deep on a documentation or help site and wants a few thousand tokens back instead of whole pages.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 68 against 45

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine
- Open source

Watch for: First released on 13 October 2026, version 0.2.0 and marked alpha, with one maintainer

### Scrapewise (B)

Good for: Agents that need e-commerce prices, Amazon and Google data, or recurring price monitoring with cleaning and product matching, paid per page in euros.

Ahead on:
- Agent ergonomics, 86 against 80
- Payments & pricing, 40 against 30
- Maintenance & community, 79 against 68
- Transparency & trust, 53 against 45

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: No status page, SLA, security.txt, disclosure policy or certification found

## Verdicts

**jevcrawl.** Three compact, typed MCP tools return verbatim passages with source URLs, cost and stop reasons, and errors arrive as codes with instructions. The project is three days old and alpha, it depends on TypeSafe's paid Jev API, which is in early access with no free tier found, and it does not block crawls of private or local addresses.

**Scrapewise.** Agents get 14 priced MCP tools by default, each with a free `quote_only` price check and idempotency keys, read-only or full-access keys, and public euro prices from €0.15 per 1,000 plain pages. There is no status page, SLA or vulnerability disclosure policy, and the terms claim ownership of all scraped data under a perpetual licence.

## Before you call either

### jevcrawl

1. Phrase `goal` as one specific question and start with `max_pages` between 10 and 30
2. Check `stats.stopped_because` and `stats.degraded`, and read `uncertain` before reporting that something is missing
3. Use `scrape` without a goal when you need a whole page, since it makes no paid Jev call and needs no key
4. Handle `{"error": code, "message": ...}` results, for example `auth_error` means `TYPESAFE_API_KEY` is missing or rejected
5. Pages in `stats.needs_js_urls` were not read. Tell the user rather than guessing their content

### Scrapewise

1. Call each paid tool with `quote_only: true` first, then repeat with the same `idempotency_key` so a retry is charged once
2. Connect to `https://mcp.scrapewise.ai/mcp?toolsets=outcome,admin` to build scrapers; a misspelt `toolsets` is ignored silently and leaves the 14 data tools
3. Use an LLM_READ key unless the task needs paid tools or writes, since LLM_FULL has no per-tool consent
4. Treat 402 WALLET_INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE as final and ask the user to top up; on 429 wait for Retry-After, and on 429 cost_exceeded wait for the next hour
5. Scrape many addresses with one `scrapewise_run_scraper_url_list` call (up to 5,000) and retry with the same name, never one scraper per address
