Best for

Teams that need rule-free, consistent structured data across many sites, or entity data from a Knowledge Graph.

What it does well

  • Automatic Extract APIs (article, product, discussion etc.) with no rules
  • Crawlbot for whole-site crawling
  • Knowledge Graph of organizations, people and articles
  • Natural-language processing API
  • Official MCP server (remote at mcp.diffbot.com)

Limitations

  • High jump from free to $299/mo
  • Fixed page-type schemas; less flexible than prompt-based extraction
  • Knowledge Graph credits are expensive per record
