Crawlbase vs Tigris

Crawlbase scores higher on the AgentReady, 68/100 against 63/100. They differ on 6 of the 41 signals. Which ones decides whether an agent can adopt them without a person watching.

What each one is

Crawlbase. Crawlbase provides web crawling, scraping, and parsing APIs at scale.

Tigris. Tigris is a globally distributed, multi-cloud object storage service with built-in support for the S3 API.

Where Crawlbase is ahead

Crawlbase passes clear canonical domain, and Tigris does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

It also holds understand: limits / constraints documented. Tigris misses it.

And on adopt, agent-compatible signup flow and official python sdk. Tigris misses those.

Where Tigris is ahead

Tigris passes no mandatory sales call, and Crawlbase does not. That is adopt, whether an agent can get a key and make its first successful call without a human in the loop.

It also holds operate: retry behavior documented. Crawlbase misses it.

What neither does

Both fail structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, programmatic credential creation, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.

Score, pillar by pillar

The AgentReady splits into four pillars, scored separately, because a product can be easy to find and still impossible to adopt.

Discover. Crawlbase leads 100 to 93. Crawlbase misses nothing; Tigris misses clear canonical domain.

Understand. Crawlbase leads 38 to 31. Crawlbase misses structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented; Tigris misses structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented.

Adopt is whether an agent can get a key and make its first successful call without a human in the loop. Crawlbase leads 81 to 70. Crawlbase misses no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation; Tigris misses agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, official python sdk.

Operate. Tigris leads 59 to 53. Crawlbase misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable; Tigris misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable.

Pricing

Crawlbase does not publish a machine-readable starting price and has a free tier. Tigris starts at $0.02/GB/month and has a free tier.
