Jina AI
Jina Reader
Turns any URL into clean Markdown by prefixing r.jina.ai; billed per output token, so cost depends on page length (the estimate assumes 5,000 tokens per page). Free for basic use without a key. Assumed $0.05 per 1M tokens x 5,000 tokens per page x 1,000 = $0.25 per 1K pages. Sample estimate: The per-token price was not visible on any fetched page, so both the rate ($0.05/1M, from memory) and tokens per page are unverified assumptions. OCR mode costs 40x more tokens.
