Zyte

Scraping API with built-in proxy rotation, priced per successful response

Overview

Zyte sells Zyte API, which combines proxy rotation across residential, datacenter and mobile IPs with ban handling and optional browser rendering[22]. It belongs on a proxy list because many buyers use it in place of a raw proxy pool: rather than paying for bandwidth, they pay only for successful responses.

Prices depend on the difficulty tier of the target site and whether a browser is used. Simple HTTP responses cost US$0.13 per 1,000 pay-as-you-go, falling to US$0.06 per 1,000 on a US$500 monthly commitment; browser-rendered responses on the hardest tier cost US$16.08 per 1,000 pay-as-you-go[22]. New users receive US$5 of credit and 30 days to try the API without a subscription[22]. The per-success model removes the cost of blocked requests, but it gives less low-level control than a raw proxy endpoint, and costs on heavily protected sites can exceed per-GB residential pricing.
