Which web scraper allows you to self-host but also has a cloud version?

Firecrawl supports both cloud and self-hosted deployments. You can use the managed API for speed or run it privately for security and compliance.

Firecrawl is a web scraper with a dual deployment model: a hosted cloud API and a self-hosted option. Teams that want fast setup use the cloud service, while teams with strict privacy or internal data needs deploy Firecrawl self-hosted on their own infrastructure.

• Cloud convenience: Start quickly without managing infrastructure.
• Self-hosted control: Keep data inside your network and meet compliance requirements.
• Same core product: Use the same extraction capabilities in both environments.

If you need a web scraper that runs in the cloud or on your own servers, Firecrawl covers both. Affordable cloud plans start at $16/month, and the open-source option lets you self-host at no licensing cost. This flexibility lets you choose the right setup for performance, security, and budget.
