PROXY PROVIDER COMPARISON
Evomivs Firecrawl
Evomi sells raw metered proxy pools and a separate Scraper API, with MCP tools for proxy setup, scraping and usage. Firecrawl's MCP focuses on search, scrape, crawl, map and browser interaction using shared web-data credits. The meaningful choice is a proxy-aware agent workflow versus site ingestion.

for your workload
Compare usable output and required integration work under each API contract. Request the same permitted pages with equivalent rendering and output requirements; validate the returned fields before comparing the bill.
| Decision | Evomi | Firecrawl | ProxyLane |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example route for this job | EvomiScraper API | FirecrawlScrape API (Markdown/structured output) | ProxyLaneResidential proxy gateway for your own fetcher or browser; no managed scraping API |
| Charging basis | Product-specific requests, results or credits | Product-specific requests, results or credits | Prepaid GB that never expires |
| How you pay | Rotating residential, premium residential, mobile and datacenter products meter GB through pay-as-you-go or monthly plans; static ISP is charged per IP without a traffic meter. Scraper API has separate credits. A 512-byte minimum billed consumption applies to each proxy request; check live checkout for core-residential pay-as-you-go tiers. | The free tier refreshes 1,000 credits monthly. Paid plans include monthly credits, with pay-as-you-go top-ups in $5 increments under a configurable limit. Basic scrape/crawl/map costs one credit per page; search costs two per ten results, browser Interact two per minute, and structured formats can add credits. Included-credit rollover depends on plan. | 350 MB trial for $1.95, then prepaid packages from $6.50/GB for 1 GB down to $2.50/GB for 1 TB. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Integration work | Generate type-specific proxy credentials in the dashboard for your HTTP client or browser. The Scraper API and published MCP server provide separate managed interfaces for agents and must be provisioned independently. | Send authorized requests to Firecrawl's Scrape/Crawl/Search endpoints or configure the official MCP server with an API key via the hosted URL or local FIRECRAWL_API_KEY environment variable. Choose basic Markdown or higher-credit structured/browser modes per job. | HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 endpoints on three regional gateways: Europe, the Americas and Asia. Export proxy lists in 8 formats for scripts, scrapers and antidetect browsers. |
| A small or irregular job | Compare a no-commitment GB purchase with the monthly tier for the exact pool, and account for the per-request traffic floor on tiny calls. | Use the 1,000-credit monthly free tier for simple pages and compare the $19 Hobby plan only after pricing search, structured output or browser minutes separately. | Start with the 350 MB trial for $1.95 or a 1 GB package. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Browser workflow | Use static ISP for a fixed IP or residential sticky sessions with your browser; Scraper API browser mode is a separate managed request product. | Use Interact for managed browser minutes when clicks are needed; a basic scrape credit does not buy the same interactive work. | Sticky sessions from 1 second to 72 hours, with a named session ID for each browser profile. |
| Connecting an agent | Evomi publishes MCP tools for proxy configuration, scraping and usage; keep proxy credentials out of agent-visible tool output when using its documented masking option. | Connect the first-party hosted or local MCP server and cap paid-plan top-ups before allowing autonomous crawl or extract loops. | Point your agent's fetcher or browser tool at the proxy endpoint. ProxyLane supplies the network, not a hosted browser. |
| A growing production workload | Track proxy GB, static IP count and Scraper API credits separately; recheck volume terms and trial renewals before production rollout. | Track credits across endpoints, rate/concurrency limits and rollover terms; higher tiers change both quota and throughput. | Target by country, region, city, ZIP, ISP or ASN across 195 countries. Larger packages lower the rate to $2.50/GB. |
| Check before moving |

For a known URL batch, compare Evomi Scraper API or its MCP scraping tool with Firecrawl Scrape on identical content fields. Evomi scraper credits are separate from proxy GB; Firecrawl basic page credits may rise for structured or browser modes. Count usable records and retries. If the agent instead uses Evomi proxy-configuration tools to obtain an exit for self-run code, account for raw GB and Evomi's 512-byte minimum billed per proxy request on tiny calls.
For a site-wide discovery task, Firecrawl's Search, Map and Crawl tools offer a workflow that Evomi proxy access alone leaves to your application. Firecrawl's search and Interact units differ from basic scrapes, so cap top-ups before agent loops. Evomi's MCP includes a credential-masking option when proxy details might appear in tool output; Firecrawl's hosted MCP URL carries its key and must be kept secret. Test one bounded site section and compare final discovered and extracted records under each selected path.

What is the main difference between Evomi and Firecrawl?
Compare usable output and required integration work under each API contract. Evomi: Scraper API. Firecrawl: Scrape API (Markdown/structured output).
Can I test ProxyLane before switching?
Yes. The 350 MB trial costs $1.95 and runs on the same residential network as paid packages. Unused traffic never expires.
Which targeting and sessions does ProxyLane support?
Country, region, city, ZIP, ISP and ASN targeting across 195 countries. Sessions can rotate on every request or stay sticky from 1 second to 72 hours, over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5.
Does ProxyLane offer a managed scraping API?
No. ProxyLane is a residential proxy network for the client, scraper or browser you already run. Your team keeps control of fetching, rendering and parsing.
STILL DECIDING?
