MiroMiro API vs Firecrawl: Design Extraction for Developers
MiroMiro API vs Firecrawl compared. Firecrawl crawls pages to markdown; MiroMiro extracts design tokens, components, and production-ready code. Purpose-built for design-to-code AI agents.
Firecrawl is a web scraping API - it crawls pages and returns LLM-ready markdown. Great for bulk content extraction and multi-page crawls.
MiroMiro API is purpose-built for design extraction - one call returns design tokens, component definitions, fonts, images, SVGs, Lottie, and Tailwind-ready code from a URL.
Choose Firecrawl for content crawling at scale. Choose MiroMiro API when your AI agent needs to understand and replicate a website's design.
Why choose MiroMiro over Firecrawl
- Extract design tokens (colors, type, spacing) in one API call
- Get production-ready CSS and component code alongside tokens
- Native Tailwind and React component output
- Includes images, SVGs, fonts, and Lottie extraction
- Purpose-built for AI agents (Claude, Cursor, v0) - cleaner context than markdown
- Transparent per-endpoint pricing
- Free developer tier (100 credits/mo, no card required)
- MCP server for seamless agent integration
Where Firecrawl actually wins
- Excellent for multi-page crawls and content extraction
- Anti-bot handling and JavaScript rendering
- LLM-optimized markdown output
- Mature platform with broad web coverage
- Batch job support for large-scale scraping
How the workflow actually compares
Same task, both tools. Side-by-side.
Task
Extract design tokens from a website
Firecrawl
Firecrawl: returns page as markdown → manual parsing to identify colors, spacing, type metrics.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro API: `/v1/extract` → structured colors, fontFamilies, fontSizes, spacing object ready to use in code.
Task
Get a section as production-ready component code
Firecrawl
Firecrawl: returns markdown of page content → agent must reconstruct CSS/Tailwind from description.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro API: `/v1/code` → clean HTML, inline CSS, and Tailwind selectors - paste-ready.
Task
Extract images and SVGs from a page
Firecrawl
Firecrawl: returns markdown image links → must fetch images separately.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro API: `/v1/images` and `/v1/svg` → direct URLs, SVG source code, usage metadata in one call.
Task
Feed a design reference to an AI coding agent
Firecrawl
Firecrawl markdown → agent hallucinates spacing, colors, and component names.
MiroMiro
MiroMiro API response → agent has ground truth: tokens, fonts, code. Drastically better output.

Which one's right for you
Choose MiroMiro if
AI agents and developers building design systems, component libraries, or design-to-code workflows that need tokens, CSS, and component definitions extracted in a structured, agent-ready format.
Choose Firecrawl if
Content extraction, knowledge base building, and multi-page crawls where you need to turn website text and structure into cleaned markdown for LLM processing.
When each tool is the right choice
Specific scenarios - pick the one that matches your work.
AI agent design replication
Feed Claude, Cursor, or v0 ground-truth design data instead of prompts or screenshots.
Design system scraping
Automatically index competitor or inspiration design systems, extract their token schemes.
Component inventory generation
Extract a site's component library (buttons, cards, navs) as JSON or MDX, ready to index.
Responsive token extraction
Capture tokens across breakpoints and interactive states (dark mode, hover).
Pricing - what you're really paying for
Firecrawl: $0.00083–$0.027 per request. Crawling multiple pages = multiple calls. Typical page crawl costs ~$0.01. MiroMiro API: Free tier has 100 credits/month (no card). Developer tier ($9/mo) = 5,000 credits, scale tier ($99/mo) = 30,000 credits. Extraction costs: design tokens (1 credit), images (0.5 credit), brand (15 credits), code (25 credits). A team running 100 design extractions/month fits comfortably in the free tier.
Bottom line
Firecrawl excels at content-heavy scraping - if you're building a knowledge base or crawling multiple pages for text, it's the right tool. MiroMiro API is purpose-built for design - if your goal is to extract tokens, fonts, and component code for an AI agent to understand and replicate a design, MiroMiro gives you structured data Firecrawl has to infer from markdown.
