## 🆚 Open Source vs Managed API
54-
55-
ScrapeGraphAI comes in two flavours: **this open-source library**, which you run yourself, and the **managed cloud API** (used via the [Python](https://github.com/ScrapeGraphAI/scrapegraph-py) and [JS/TS](https://github.com/ScrapeGraphAI/scrapegraph-js) SDKs). This table explains the difference so you can pick the right one.

**Choose the open-source library** if you want full control, on-prem/self-hosted data, local LLMs (Ollama), or fine-grained cost tuning — and you're happy to manage browsers, proxies and scaling yourself.

**Choose the managed API** if you want zero infrastructure, managed JS rendering & anti-bot, built-in **Crawl** and scheduled **Monitor** jobs, and the fastest path to production — billed per credit.
