blind.codes is the cheapest option and did the job for me. It has no subscription plan (which makes sense unless you plan to spend your life doing coding interviews), offers free credits, and doesn’t require a credit card.
That’s a great pivot and thank you for your comment at least it s open other point of view
I’m mostly focused on software full-stack, backend, automation, and building products.
The problem in my case is that I’m too passionate about it. I was so committed to web and software development that I don’t really have easily transferable skills outside of it.
I’m currently training for some certifications, but I still feel like it’s not the best use of my time.
Modern web pages are cluttered with tracking scripts, analytics, styling, ads, and interactive elements that waste tokens and dilute semantic meaning when processing content for AI systems. This library strips away the noise to give you clean, meaningful HTML that:
- Reduces token count by 60-90% (fewer API costs)
- Improves embedding quality (less noise = better semantic search)
- Speeds up processing (smaller payloads = faster inference)
- Preserves structure (headings, paragraphs, links stay intact)
- Zero dependencies (pure JavaScript, no bloat)
Basically, I use a headless Chromium with Puppeteer to render the page. Then, some logic extracts and cleans the HTML content. Finally, I use Gemini with a specific schema to return a JSON response.
So yeah, it needs to use a headful browser, and I’m not able to do that for now. It’s too much work for a POC, but really good case at least I learned something :) thank you again
