Firecrawl, a startup whose tool turns websites into clean text and data for AI apps, now sells through Google Cloud Marketplace. Companies that already pay Google for cloud services can buy Firecrawl on the same bill, according to the company's new Google Cloud page.

Firecrawl announced the move on X and called it a partnership with Google Cloud to give Gemini agents data "from the web and beyond." We couldn't find a matching announcement from Google.

We're partnering with Google Cloud to power Gemini agents with data from the web and beyond.

Through Alexandria, agents get the live web plus official data providers and specialized indexes in one place.

When an AI agent opens a web page, it gets the page's code, ads and menus along with the text. Firecrawl loads the page, runs its scripts and sends back the readable content as plain text in a format called markdown, or as structured data. Developers plug it into chatbots and agents that need to read live websites.

The company says more than 1.25 million developers use it. Last month it launched Alexandria alongside a $75 million Series B round. Alexandria gives agents one place to reach more than 100 official data providers and Firecrawl's own indexes of research papers, code documentation and laws.

The Marketplace listing changes how companies pay. Firecrawl says buyers get the same API, developer kits, MCP server and command-line tool as on its regular plans.

The listing has no public price. Firecrawl sells it only through private offers. A buyer contacts Firecrawl's sales team and agrees on a plan, credit volume, price and contract length. The buyer then accepts the offer in the Google Cloud console, and charges show up on the Google Cloud bill. Firecrawl says Google startup and promotional credits can't pay for it.

Committed spend is the main draw for big customers. Many large companies promise Google a set amount of spending each year in exchange for discounts. Firecrawl's Marketplace page says a private offer "draws down" that commitment. Its Google Cloud integration page is more careful. It says a purchase "can" count, that Google decides which purchases qualify, and that buyers should check with their Google account team.

Google's own Marketplace page also says only "qualifying" purchases count. When a customer buys through a reseller, Google counts it toward no more than 25% of the commitment, according to a 2025 Google Cloud blog post. Firecrawl's homepage says it already sells the same way on AWS Marketplace.

How to try Firecrawl with Gemini

You don't need the Marketplace to try it. Firecrawl's free plan gives 1,000 credits a month, enough for 1,000 page scrapes or 500 searches. The Hobby plan costs $16 a month, billed yearly.

Gemini CLI users can add Firecrawl's hosted MCP server, an add-on that gives the AI new tools, to the settings.json file in the .gemini folder. Restart Gemini CLI and type /mcp list to check that the Firecrawl tools loaded.

Firecrawl says search, scraping and file parsing work in Gemini CLI and Google's Antigravity coding app without an API key. Everyone on the same public IP address shares one usage limit. A free API key unlocks the rest of the tools, and developers using Google's Agent Development Kit connect the same server with that key.

Firecrawl also says agents using Alexandria scored 21% higher on answer quality than agents using built-in web tools. Firecrawl ran that test itself across 845 tasks, with AI models judging the answers, and no outside group has checked the result.
