Jina Reader vs Scrapfly for AI agents
Jina Reader and Scrapfly both ran scrape, with the same tasks, the same model (Claude Haiku 5.5), the same prompt and the same limits. A task counts only when a script confirms every answer. Beyond that, only Scrapfly ran crawl.
The benchmark tests each provider's gap to its track's leader, with 95% intervals from resampling whole sites. It doesn't test every pair directly, so this page says when a gap is real and when it isn't one anybody can claim.

Neither gap to the track's leader cleared chance, and the benchmark doesn't test these two against each other, so this 2-point gap isn't a result either can claim.
Jina cost 0.57¢ per finished task and Scrapfly 0.61¢, counting all API and model spend, failures included.

- Jina here means Jina Reader (r.jina.ai), scored on scrape only. An earlier 7-task Jina Search run is kept as historical evidence and isn't part of these scores.
- Scrapfly's tuned scrape preset finished 55 of 60, 2 more than its default, but that change is too small to rule out chance.
