Why switch?

Socify

  • Social resources not markdown dumps
  • Stable fields for agents
  • Pay per successful lookup
  • Nine networks maintained
  • One JSON envelope
  • 99.97% SLA

Firecrawl

  • Crawl/markdown oriented
  • Site graphs over profiles
  • RAG packaging
  • Not social post schemas
  • Extra transform for social
  • Web crawl credits

The free-tier cliff: a social profile schema.

Firecrawl excels at site→markdown for RAG. Instagram users and TikTok posts are a different product: stable social resources, not crawl maps.

On Socify agents get profile and post objects, not markdown crawl dumps. Credits meter successful social lookups only.

Switching from Firecrawl.

What is Socify?

Socify is a social-data API for builders and agents: nine major networks, credits as the only hard quota, a published uptime SLA, and one Bearer + JSON envelope across every plan.

How do I move from Firecrawl to Socify?

Use Socify for social entities; Firecrawl for documentation/RAG sites.

Will Socify cover the same surface Firecrawl does?

Firecrawl is web→markdown; Socify is social platform resources.

How close is Socify’s API to Firecrawl’s?

Different outputs: markdown/crawl vs social JSON envelope.

Can I run Socify alongside Firecrawl before cutting over?

Yes. Keep Firecrawl on production paths while you shadow-read through Socify on the overlapping platforms. Compare payloads and latency, then flip traffic when you are ready: no need for a big-bang cutover.
