Jina AI Reader Alternative — Clean Markdown for LLMs & RAG
Jina’s Reader is handy for turning a URL into Markdown, but rate limits and keys get in the way at scale. Crawl any site and get clean Markdown (plus RAG chunks) built for LLM ingestion — pay per page, no rate ceiling.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just use r.jina.ai?
For one-off URLs it is fine. For crawling a whole site into chunked Markdown without rate limits, this is built for that, pay-per-use.
Does it output RAG chunks?
Yes — optional chunking so the output drops straight into a vector store.
Is it affiliated with Jina AI?
No. Independent, pay-per-use.
