No plan sizes at all: a $5 trial credit, thirty days, then a rate per 1,000 successful responses that depends on which tier Zyte puts the target site in and whether you render it. Cheap on easy sites, the dearest browser rate in this database on hard ones.
Best for: Projects with a known target list that can price each site in the calculator before committing.
Pay as you go runs $0.13 to $1.27 per 1,000 successful HTTP responses by site tier and $1.01 to $16.08 with browser rendering; a $100 monthly commitment lowers those to $0.10 to $0.95 and $0.75 to $12, a $200 commitment to $0.08 to $0.76 and $0.60 to $9.60.

What the pricing page says
The page opens with From $0.06 per 1,000 successful responses and a $5 free credit with thirty days to try, no commitment or subscription, the monthly commitment picked later. Below is a rate card in three columns: pay as you go, a $100 minimum commitment, and a $200 minimum commitment. Each column has a row per website tier, and each row two prices, HTTP and browser-rendered. Pay as you go runs $0.13 to $1.27 per 1,000 HTTP responses and $1.01 to $16.08 rendered; $100 a month lowers that to $0.10 to $0.95 and $0.75 to $12; $200 to $0.08 to $0.76 and $0.60 to $9.60. Past a commitment there are no overage penalties, only the same discounted rate.
The tier decides the price
Every other credit-based vendor here charges by what you ask for: rendering, a proxy class, a named domain. Zyte charges by the site it has classified, and the classification is not on the pricing page; the page offers a calculator to price your project. A target list is therefore the first thing to prepare, and the tenfold spread between tiers is the reason.
Integration and terms
The getting-started page names Python, Node.js, Java, PHP, Ruby and C# clients, Playwright and Puppeteer, and a proxy mode. Terms on the pricing page: $5 free, thirty days, no commitment, no overage penalties. A refund policy was not on the pages read.
Questions people ask
Is there a free trial?
A $5 free credit and thirty days to try it, with no commitment or subscription, per the pricing page.
Why is there a price range instead of a price?
Because the rate depends on the tier Zyte assigns the target website; the page prints a range from the easiest to the hardest tier and offers a calculator.
What happens above a commitment?
No overage penalties: usage past the minimum commitment is charged at the same discounted rate, per the pricing page.
- The tier of any particular website is not on the pricing page; the ranges are the lowest and highest tier.
- Refund terms were not on the pages read.
- The $0.06 headline is below the $200-commitment column's lowest rate of $0.08; the commitment that reaches it was not on the page read.

Other scrapers
Scrape.dosubscriptionThe most legible pricing in this database: the plan card prints the price per 1,000 credits, the documentation prints what each request type and each named domain costs, and only successful requests count. A 99.98% success figure on the homepage is a claim, not a method.
Decodoper requestThe pricing table answers the question every other vendor makes you compute: standard proxies, standard with JavaScript, premium proxies, premium with JavaScript, each priced per 1,000 requests on each plan, with the rate limit beside it. A free starter plan and a 14-day money-back line finish it.
ScrapingBeesubscriptionThe credit table is the review: a plain request is one credit, the default headless-browser request five, premium proxies ten, both together twenty-five, stealth proxies seventy-five. Cheap for plain fetches, ordinary once JavaScript and premium proxies are on.
