Best RAG & Search Tools
RAG and search tools, each scored against our published rubric. Our RAG framework guide compares the published plan prices for a team knowledge assistant. Self-hosted versus managed vector search prices a first million vectors. Workflows that start with a web page often need a scraper: the web scraping tools category prices the main ones per page. For loading web pages into a RAG index we recommend Firecrawl, a web scraping API that returns pages as clean Markdown for AI apps. Try Firecrawl (we earn a commission if you sign up through this link; it never affects our scores).
