Base URL https://api.morphllm.com is a single global endpoint, hosted by AutoInfra, Inc. (YC-backed US company). OpenRouter routes morph/morph-v3-fast and morph/morph-v3-large through multi-region, but the official Morph API is not available from mainland China without a proxy. China production traffic sees typical 200-400 ms transpacific first-byte latency. | No permanent free tier (no zero-cost starter plan).

Firecrawl is headquartered in San Francisco (Y Combinator W23 batch) with a single-region API base URL at https://api.firecrawl.dev; the billing and rate-limits docs do not list any Asia-Pacific or China routing layer. China production traffic requires a proxy or transit, with typical 200-400 ms transpacific first-byte latency. The Free tier's 1,000 credits work behind a proxy for evaluation, but stable production traffic should either run a self-hosted Firecrawl deployment (Docker / Kubernetes) or sit behind a corporate proxy. | Permanent Free tier: 1,000 credits per month with no credit card required, full access to Scrape / Crawl / Map / Search / Batch Scrape / JSON mode and every other endpoint; 2 concurrent browsers and a 50,000 max queued jobs ceiling.
