Context.dev alternatives
Context.dev: One web context API for software and AI agents. From $25/mo, running on Web, API.
Every tool here shares a category with Context.dev. For each: what it costs against Context.dev, where it runs, and the one claim its own listing makes that Context.dev's does not.
Where Context.dev runs out of road
A single API for scraping pages to LLM-ready markdown, crawling sites, web search, structured extraction and brand data — billed from one credit pool instead of five vendors.
Context.dev's own listed limits, in its words:
- Credit-metered across six different products, so forecasting a month's spend takes more arithmetic than a flat seat price
- The free plan simply stops at 500 credits rather than degrading, which is honest but abrupt mid-build
- SSO, custom limits and the 99.9% SLA are Enterprise-only
