Zyte API pricing
How Zyte bills successful HTTP and browser responses by target difficulty, then adds extraction and output meters.
Every available option was priced in advance from published vendor rules. Changing a control only switches between those checked options; nothing is sent anywhere and no account is needed.

Cash per month
$100.00 /mo
$100 minimum commitment. Cheapest of every eligible purchase option, not the first plan that fits.
Bars share one linear scale across the 3 counted stages, so a multiplier shows as length. Units differ by stage and are labelled. Cash is not on that scale.
100,000 pages divided by 95% success → 100,000 request → $100 minimum commitment $100.00/mo = $1.00 per 1,000 pages kept

What consumes a unit
This is where a bill actually grows. One operation is not one billed unit, and the multiplier is published here rather than on the pricing page.

What Zyte API does not publish
- The public pricing table omits the $350 commitment published in the docs.
- The docs do not reduce tier selection plus add-ons to one universal combine rule.
- Plan-level concurrency was not published.
- The loaded pricing text did not state whether the trial requires a card.
What Zyte API is
Zyte API is a managed web retrieval and extraction service with HTTP and browser-rendered modes. It handles proxy selection, browser execution, blocking countermeasures, screenshots, actions, and automatic extraction for supported data types. It is for engineering and data teams that need either page content or structured items while outsourcing the access layer. Sources: Zyte API and Zyte pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26.
Oxylabs Web Scraper API, Bright Data Web Unlocker, and ZenRows are the nearest named competitors. Oxylabs publishes target-family result rates, Bright Data Web Unlocker foregrounds a successful-request unit with major access features included, and ZenRows uses replacement request credits plus a separate browser formula. Zyte’s distinguishing public model assigns the target to one of five difficulty tiers, selects an HTTP or browser rate within that tier, and then adds metered outputs such as screenshots or extraction.

How billing works
One base unit is one successful API response, with the rate selected by target-difficulty tier and by HTTP or browser mode. Screenshots and automatic extraction can add usage, and AI extraction can add input- and output-token meters. Extended residential geolocation can add bandwidth charges. Higher spending commitments reduce the tier rates but allow billable use beyond the commitment up to a higher spending limit. Zyte treats API HTTP 200 as successful even when the target reports a non-ban bad status, a browser action fails, extraction properties are missing, or returned content does not match the buyer’s expectation. The common buying mistake is to equate billable HTTP 200 with a useful business result, or to budget every domain at the easiest HTTP tier while also ignoring add-ons.

What Zyte does not publish consistently
- One universal combination rule covering target tier, browser mode, screenshots, automatic extraction, AI tokens, and geolocation bandwidth. Source reviewed: Zyte pricing documentation, retrieved 2026-07-26.
- Plan-level concurrency. The documentation publishes a standard rate limit instead. Source reviewed: Zyte pricing documentation, retrieved 2026-07-26.
- One consistent commitment table. The public pricing page omits a commitment level that remains present in the pricing documentation. Sources reviewed: Zyte pricing and pricing documentation, retrieved 2026-07-26.
- Whether the public trial requires a payment card. Source reviewed: Zyte pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26.
Who it suits
Zyte API suits teams that can sample their target mix, separate HTTP from browser work, and monitor extraction and output add-ons. It is less suitable for a buyer who requires one fixed request rate or counts only useful business records as billable successes. The reason is that target difficulty and requested outputs are legitimate cost drivers, while API success is broader than content usefulness.

Answer
Zyte API's dated 2026-07-26 price snapshot gives $100.00 for 100,000 JavaScript-rendered pages on its $100 minimum commitment offer. This older figure is excluded from rankings; check the vendor before buying.
