Zyte review

Zyte suits engineering teams that scrape many different sites and want one API to work out how hard each one is. Zyte API picks the leanest method by default, rotating residential, datacenter and mobile IPs, solving CAPTCHAs and switching to a pre-warmed headless browser only when a page needs it. AI extraction turns raw pages into typed product, article and job listing fields, and actions and sessions cover logins, forms and scrolling. Pricing reflects that design: each website falls into one of five tiers, and you pay per 1,000 successful responses. Pay as you go runs from $0.13 to $1.27 for HTTP responses and $1.01 to $16.08 for browser-rendered ones, and monthly commitments from $100 cut those rates. All features come with every level, with no overage penalties. Zyte also runs Scrapy Cloud for teams using the open-source Scrapy framework and a managed data service. Its calculator is worth using first, because costs depend heavily on which sites you target.
