Why it's better

Built to keep working.

It runs on our own hardware, routes around blocks, and keeps going when the others get rate-limited.

Routes around blocks

When one route gets blocked, Saffron quietly switches to another and keeps going, so your jobs actually finish.

Watch it work, live

See the browser on your screen as it works, so you always know exactly what it did and why.

Only pay when it works

If a page blocks the request, it costs you nothing. You only pay for the results that come back.

Gets past bot walls

The bot checks and captcha walls that stop most tools are handled for you, built in, not a paid add-on.

Clean data in one call

Point it at any page and get back clean, structured data, ready to use, in a single request.

Works with Claude & Cursor

Connect it to Claude or Cursor with one setting, and your assistant gets a browser it can drive.

Your committee has four questions.

Finance · CFO

No bandwidth surprises

$0/GB IPv6 egress and a zero-charge block guarantee mean a bill you can forecast. Wallet balance rolls over; nothing is forfeited.

Engineering · CTO

Drop-in, no rewrite

100% Steel.dev-compatible superset API. One base_url change and your existing scrapers run, with live CDP screencast for debugging.

Procurement

Real terms, real address

A named entity with a physical address and a direct line. Month-to-month or annual; dedicated nodes and a private channel on Scale.
