## Zyte Reviews
  ### 1. Zyte Scrapy Cloud: Easy, Reliable, Fast, and Great Value

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Francisc C. | Software Engineer, Automotive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2026

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

I only use the Zyte Scrapy Cloud and for sure it's the best platform to host and run your Scrapy scrapers. There's no doubt about it. It is very easy to use, reliable and fast. The price is actually surprisingly good, given how expensive most cloud solutions have gotten in the last few years. Their support is not something I needed because in the past 6 years I didn't really need their customer support.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Their UI wasn't always as good as it is now. I felt pretty frustrated with the ease of use like 4-5 years ago, but now I have nothing to complain about.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I needed a quick and easy solution to host, run and retrieve the data from many scrapers I build for work. The Zyte Scrapy Cloud was the natural choice. It does exactly what I needed. I don't have to worry about scraper hosting and scheduling and their data retention is good enough so I never lose any important data

  ### 2. Efficient Web Management, Needs Better Debugging

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anuj B. | Founding Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2026

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

I find Zyte very efficient for handling things like not having to manage my IPs, ban rates, and other elements. It's clear that we don't have to worry about these tasks because Zyte handles them efficiently for us. It allows my team to focus on building large, long-term features without the need to worry about how to scrape websites. The initial setup was pretty straightforward, and the use of Zyte for tasks like managing capture events and handling cloud play bans really stands out. Overall, I'd rate it pretty high since I gave it a nine for recommending to a friend or colleague.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

The analytics can be improved, and also the request level debugging is something we don't really like. It takes a lot of time to just figure out why certain requests are failing. The debugger needs an improvement.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte relieves us from managing IPs and bandwidth, handles web scraping needs, and aids in managing cloud play bands and capture events efficiently, so our team can focus on long-term feature building.

  ### 3. Clean, Intuitive UI That Simplifies Reliable Scraping Workflows

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2026

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

As a heavy user of Zyte, I appreciate the clean, intuitive UI and how easy it is to manage jobs. Pricing feels fair with strong ROI, and support is responsive and helpful. It simplifies complex scraping workflows without sacrificing reliability.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

As a regular user of Zyte, the main drawbacks are cost at scale and limited control in edge cases. While it abstracts a lot, that can make debugging harder when something breaks. The UI, while clean, can feel a bit shallow for advanced workflows, and you’re somewhat locked into their ecosystem compared to rolling your own stack (e.g., Puppeteer + custom proxies).

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte is solving the core problem of reliably extracting data from websites that are increasingly hostile to automation—things like bot detection, CAPTCHAs, IP blocking, and heavy JavaScript rendering.

For me, the benefit is leverage. Instead of building and maintaining a brittle stack (e.g., headless browsers like Puppeteer, proxy rotation, fingerprinting), Zyte abstracts all of that into a single API.

That translates into:

Faster time to launch new scrapers
Way less engineering overhead and maintenance
More consistent data pipelines at scale
Ability to focus on data quality and business logic instead of infrastructure

Net effect: higher reliability and lower total cost of ownership, even if the per-request cost is higher.

  ### 4. Easy-to-Navigate Dashboard and Scraper Management with Minimal Friction

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2026

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

I like the overview and dashboard the most. It's a very easy way to navigate all the scrapers. See which ones are running, start a new scraper, check the logs. Very nice.

We have our own CICD pipeline set up connected to our repo. So this automatically pushes to site and we also push jobs on a schedule. And it's just very easy to use once that was set up. Like we have zero issues with it.

Also the rotating proxy is super nice when we're scraping the same time for a large amount of times. Yeah, just a product without much friction on our site.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Scheduling jobs on a recurring basis is a very manual process. Ideally you want to upload a CSV with schedules in it or something. It was a lot of work to do that, especially when you have different parameters that you want to configure for hundreds of scrapers. So we just made our own AWS job that uses the API to scheduled these scrapers throuh Zyte. So it would be nice to have a way on the platform to upload schedules just in bulk.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Just being able to schedule scrapers and let them run daily, especially the rotating proxy is nice. Also the dashboard where you have a structured overview of everything that ran, the items you yielded. Just offloading a lot of the setup, work and dashboarding that we would have to do if we wanted to implement it ourselves.

  ### 9. Smart Proxy Manager: Reliable Rotating Proxies That Just Work at Scale

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

The Smart Proxy Manager has been the most valuable part of Zyte for me. Rotating proxies and handling bans used to eat up a huge amount of engineering time, and Zyte basically removes that headache. I can point my scrapers at it and trust that requests are going to get through without constantly babysitting IP pools or tuning retry logic. Setup was straightforward, and the integration with Scrapy made onboarding fast. For scraping at any meaningful scale, having reliable proxy infrastructure that just works is a big deal.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Pricing can get steep as request volume scales up, especially for sites that require more aggressive proxy rotation or premium IPs. It's worth it for the reliability, but it's something to keep an eye on if you're running large jobs. Documentation is generally solid but occasionally lags behind product changes, so I've had moments where I needed to dig into support or community threads to figure out the current best practice.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte solves the proxy and anti-ban problem that comes with running scrapers at scale. Before using it, a lot of engineering time went into managing IP pools, handling blocks, and tuning retry logic just to keep data flowing. With Smart Proxy Manager, that infrastructure layer is handled, so I can focus on actually building scrapers and working with the data instead of fighting with target sites. The benefit is faster development cycles, more reliable data pipelines, and significantly less time spent on maintenance.

  ### 10. Reliable Web Scraping with Set-It-and-Forget-It Simplicity

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexandr  N. | Senior Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2026

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

We used Zyte because it's a reliable way to scrape large amounts of data without risking being blocked by websites' security systems. I really appreciate its 'do once and forget about it' approach; we set everything up once, and it continued to work for years without a hitch. The reliability is impressive - it always works, and for a scraping tool, that's very important.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

I'd improve their alerts system - make it more customizable (add custom triggers)

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte provides a reliable way to gather large amounts of data without the risk of being blocked by website security systems.

  ### 11. Reliable Competitor Data Partner with Stellar Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David P.

**Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

I have been working with Zyte's team for the last few months, and their team is fantastic. I appreciate their development speed and quality, and they run a very robust platform, producing very satisfactory results. I love the ease of the initial setup with Zyte, as they took care of all the development, and we only needed to communicate what data we needed and set up the necessary processes on our end. I find it great that Zyte handles everything for us, allowing us not to worry about maintaining a platform ourselves. I also find having access to reliable scraping data from our main competitors incredibly useful.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

I'm a bit concerned about the lack of a validation system in Zyte. Sometimes, about once a week, there's a feed that doesn't correctly retrieve all the requested URLs, and we might be missing 2-3 URLs out of around 130. Implementing a validation system to ensure data for all URLs would be beneficial.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte provides us with reliable competitor data, eliminating the need for in-house scraping management. Their robust platform delivers satisfactory results, reducing failures compared to our previous system. The development speed and quality are impressive, solving our lack of resources for maintaining an in-house system.

  ### 12. Intuitive, Flexible Forms with Seamless Airtable Integration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ibrahim A. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

I use Zyte for forms, and it really helps with data collection into Airtable. I like that Zyte offers more flexibility than Airtable forms. I find the UX and ease of use to be good, especially with the different options for field entries and design customization. The initial setup was easy, which I appreciate.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

linked records and forms across multiple tables

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 15. Personable and Efficient Data Gathering

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** A. M. | Product Manager Global Competition Analysis

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte help build our web scrapers and ensure we get structured data regularly. They are the most personable supplier I've worked with, and it's great to meet the people behind it regularly. Communication is straightforward. If there's an issue, I can sit with them and find a solution collaboratively. For example, they helped us move from being six weeks late to three weeks early on a delivery by engaging on a human level. Zyte is also cost and efficiency focused, and they've been transparent in all our dealings. I would highly recommend sending someone technical to their event from your team, because you'll really understand their business.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Honestly and with thought - I have no dislikes that I can think of for all of the reasons above.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte builds our web scrapers and delivers structured data regularly, which aids in large-scale data gathering for price analysis.

  ### 16. Reliable IP Pool Management & Scale: Zyte for Enterprise Web Scraping

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yulian R. | SysOps - Compliance Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte stands out for its ease of use and straightforward implementation. Getting our scraping workflows connected to Zyte required minimal ramp-up, and once in place the ease of integration with our existing systems made it seamless to slot into our pipeline.

We use Zyte frequently, and it has proven reliable at scale, handling a high number of jobs without constant babysitting. The range of features—from IP pool rotation to advanced anti-ban support—lets us tailor the setup to different sites and data volumes.

Another upside is the responsiveness of Zyte’s customer support team. Whenever we hit edge cases or needed guidance, their team was quick to provide solutions, which reduced downtime and kept our projects moving.

Overall, the combination of user-friendly setup, dependable features, and strong support makes Zyte an essential tool in our day-to-day scraping operations.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

While Zyte is a strong solution, there are a few areas that could improve. The pricing structure can feel complex, especially when running frequent, large-scale jobs across many IP pools. For teams just getting started, it’s not always clear how costs will scale with usage.

There’s also a learning curve when setting up advanced configurations or dealing with sites that use heavy JavaScript or aggressive anti-bot measures. Zyte handles most scenarios well, but certain edge cases still require extra fine-tuning from our side.

Finally, the dashboard interface could be more intuitive. Navigating logs, IP pool details, and other features sometimes takes extra clicks. Streamlining the UX would make day-to-day management smoother.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte solves the toughest part of web scraping: managing large IP pools and avoiding bans. Instead of spending time building our own rotation logic and troubleshooting failures, we rely on Zyte’s automated IP rotation and anti-ban features, which keeps data flowing smoothly.

It also scales easily, so we can run frequent, high-volume scraping jobs without infrastructure headaches. The easy integration reduces maintenance work for our engineers, and when issues come up, Zyte’s support team responds quickly to keep projects on track.

The result is reliable data collection, faster delivery, and less operational overhead—all of which directly support our business goals.

  ### 25. Reliable Web Scraping Solution with Strong Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte's data extraction API is incredibly accurate and handles complex websites with ease. The automatic proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving save hundreds of hours in development time. Their uptime reliability (99.9% in our experience) and detailed documentation make it a standout solution compared to other scraping tools i've tested.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

The pricing structure could be more transparent for me- i initially underestimated the cost at scale. Some advanced features like JavaScript rendering require higher-tier plans, which was a surprise during implementation. The learning curve for custom extraction rules is steeper than anticipated.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reliable bypass of geographical restrictions and anti robot measures to ensure uninterrupted data collection.

  ### 28. Unable to accurately understand costs

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

It was great when you could have 100,000 page scrapes for £50
It was easy to just point at a web site and pretty much press go

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

They moved to a code based solution
Time needed to learn the code and test
Costs can be random and unexpected, even if you put a limit on, you do not know how many pages you have missed

Much preferred the old system

They will not help with code and a request to create the code for the same site as i had already been running ok, was over £700

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

understanding competitor pricing

**Official Response from Tomas Rinke:**

> Thank you for your candid 2-star review and for sharing your experience with Zyte, particularly regarding the transition to our new platform and challenges with cost clarity. We understand your frustration with this change and the impact it's had on your workflow.

We recognize that moving from our previous tools, like SPM, to the current Zyte API — our unified, code-based solution — was a significant shift. This evolution was driven by the need to offer greater flexibility, advanced anti-blocking capabilities, and robust solutions for increasingly complex web scraping at scale. However, we acknowledge it introduced a new learning curve and impacted cost predictability for existing users.

Regarding your key points:

Pricing Transparency: We hear your concern about "random and unexpected" costs. Our aim with Zyte API is to provide a single, powerful tool covering capabilities like residential proxies, JavaScript rendering, and ban handling that previously required separate subscriptions. We are continuously improving our pricing clarity, offering tools like our Playground and cost calculator, and providing guidance to help users understand and manage costs more effectively. We're committed to making pricing predictable and transparent, even as domains are re-tiered.

Learning Curve & Code Support: We understand that the transition to coding for extraction can be demanding. We're actively working on migration video guides (including for SPM users) and enhancing our onboarding resources to simplify this process. For custom code creation, specialized development services are available, but our standard support team is dedicated to helping you effectively use the platform.
Your feedback is invaluable. We want to ensure you're getting the most value from Zyte for your competitor pricing needs. Our customer-facing teams are ready to connect directly to understand your specific use case, optimize your projects, and clarify any cost concerns. Please reach out to us via support or our website.

Thank you again for your honest insights; they are crucial for our continuous improvement

  ### 29. A Powerful Tool for Web Scraping and Data Extraction

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ahmed S. | Support and Software engineering lead, Information Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte has been a game-changer for our web scraping needs. Its robust feature set, coupled with strong support and reliable performance, makes it an excellent choice for both small and large-scale data extraction projects. If you're looking for a professional and scalable solution, Zyte is worth considering.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

While Zyte is feature-rich, the learning curve for fully optimizing its tools can be steep, particularly for those without prior experience in web scraping. Additionally, some advanced features can feel a bit fragmented and require more effort to integrate seamlessly with custom-built systems. Pricing can also be a concern for smaller-scale operations, as the cost rises with usage, especially if your projects require a high volume of scraping. However, the value it offers often outweighs these drawbacks.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte's tools streamline the extraction of structured data from complex websites, automating tasks like JavaScript rendering and session management. This efficiency allows us to focus on data analysis rather than the intricacies of data collection.

  ### 30. The best and cheapest scraping service ever

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** M F. | Ecom Scraper, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

The thing I like about zyte is, that its captcha bypass solution which they have implemented in their API, I have never got a captcha issue while using their API, I always got 200 ok response from each and every website I tried scraping with the help of Zyte, and apart from this, they have quick support, which resolves our doubts and issues ASAP. They have a very easy to use API, and proper dashboard for analytics, I have easily implemented their API in my solution. I am using it from past 5 months.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

There is nothing that I don't like in Zyte, but they could have made the pricing part more clear, the volume discount part is still unclear to me.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte is saving too much of time making solutions to bypass captchas for different websites, Zyte easily solve this problem using their APIs, their scraping APIs are the best and cheapest in the market, it benifits me alot, as it saves too much of time, their APIs are so easy to integrate, and it also helps me to use all the functions I want, like fetching rendered HTML, Session Management, etc.

  ### 31. Effective for initial use, costly for long term

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amir A. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

We needed an IP ban bypassing service to avoid the hassle of developing our own solution. Zyte proved to be incredibly useful for kickstarting our project, and we were able to integrate it into our system quickly.

One feature we particularly appreciated was the ability to test whether specific URLs worked before committing to a subscription. Additionally, the initial credit they offer was invaluable for our early testing phase.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

It was unable to bypass a few websites we intended to scrape, particularly those with regional restrictions in Canada.

We also encountered some blocking issues when sending large volumes of requests within a short timeframe. To address this, we ultimately had to implement our own rate-limiting mechanism.

Additionally, the service proved to be costly for our needs, as we required the ability to send a high volume of requests on a regular schedule.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte helped us effortlessly extract data from websites without the worry of IP bans.

  ### 32. A must-have scraping-tool for a good price

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rik V. | Software Developer, Broadcast Media, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte is a fully-feature scraping tool with everything included. It's easy to use and implement in my applications. I have used it for the past year and I am a happy user.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

More integrations would be nice to have.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The greatest pro of using Zyte is the cost of it, other tools are expensive.

  ### 33. Reliable Web Scraping Tool with Room for Admin Panel Improvements

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Davide G. | Product Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte is an excellent and reliable tool for web scraping and data extraction. I primarily use it within Scrapy projects, where its integration is seamless and highly efficient. The implementation process is straightforward, making it easy to get started and productive quickly. 

Customer support is another highlight—I've used their ticketing system, and it’s intuitive and effective, ensuring a smooth resolution of any issues. 

I use Zyte monthly for tasks within my company, as well as for various side projects, and it consistently delivers outstanding results. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the platform and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a robust scraping solution.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

The admin panel could benefit from better organization, as navigating between personal and company configurations, as well as account and billing pages, can sometimes be confusing. Streamlining the interface and clearly distinguishing these sections would greatly enhance the user experience.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I need to retrieve a large amount of dynamic data from a partner website, who does not expose direct API.

  ### 34. Simplicity and flawlessness

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Megami T. | Founder &amp; CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte has been a massive help for our organization whenever we needed to perform any scraping jobs. It is incredibly easy and intuitive to setup, and it does the job flawlessly. Zyte also allows us to use proxies, which allows us to scrape whatever data we need without fear of being blocked. We regularly run scraping jobs, and we will likely be using it for years to come.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Zyte is overall fantastic, but I (and several of my colleagues) wish that the user interface was updated slightly and polished, as in certain places it gives off an unpolished look.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte is allowing us to solve a lack of efficient and fast scrapers and blocking of scrapers by certain websites. The proxy feature of Zyte is amazing and allows us to go unnoticed by websites, which in turn simplifies our workload and allows us to get the data we need quickly, and efficiently.

  ### 35. Versatile

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

I’ve hard Zyte for personal web scraping projecta and I’ve found very useful the AI tool that scrapes pages and return data formatted.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

I think the price should be more accessible in large scale for smaller projects ( like personal ones )

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

IP address being blocked

  ### 37. Efficient and reliable web scraping platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ebra Y. | System User, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte makes web scraping incredibly easy with its powerful APIs, high-quality data extraction, and reliable proxy rotation.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Occasionally, rate limits or usage caps interrupt workflows, and advanced customizations may require a deeper learning curve or coding experience. Some website-specific scraping issues also need manual tweaking.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte solves the challenge of extracting structured data from websites at scale without getting blocked or dealing with frequent site changes. It automates the entire scraping process so I can focus on analyzing data instead of maintaining scrapers.

**Official Response from Tomas Rinke:**

> Thanks for your 5-star review! We're thrilled Zyte's powerful APIs, high-quality data extraction, and reliable proxy rotation make web scraping easy for you. It's great to know we're solving the challenge of extracting data at scale without blocks, letting you focus on analysis.

  ### 38. Great reliable service

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Davide V. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

We have been using Zyte's API and their deprecated Proxy Manager, it is a reliable service and it's pretty intuitive to use and monitor.

Their anti-ban technology as well the geolocalization is a great feature which allows our team to circumvent restrictions put in place by companies which offer API(s) without really supporting them.

Another point in favour of Zyte is related to their constant commitment, we have been their client ovr the past couple of years and we saw their evolution both in terms of service and customer support.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Their administration web UI is quite limited and seems to be something they'd need to take care of.

Monitoring could be improved, providing better logging system and better third party integrations such as webhooks to talk with services such as Slack.

Pricing is also another point which needs to be reviewed, their solution allows to "pre-pay" a user defined monthly amount, the problem is around credits not being carried month over month, we have been spending hundreds of dollars in unused credits until realising it.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main reason to use Zyte as data extraction component is, as previously mentioned, the unreliable support of of certain API services

**Official Response from Julie Nevin:**

> We're happy to hear that you find value in our pay-for-success model. We acknowledge your feedback about the dashboard and API, and we are committed to making improvements in these areas to enhance your experience.

  ### 39. What you pay is what you get.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stelios G. | Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

The best part about zyte is the professionalism of the team and the quality of the product. I've used both proxies and zyte api. Even though zyte api is not for me since I enjoy the process of making scrapers of my own, it is a remarkable product. My primary use is for the proxies which is use in scrapy. Works every time. I reliably can scrape every website I want. In cases I had issues the support team came and consulted me what changes I should do to make scraping success rate even higher.The support team is always there to help and due to the nature of the company, they are technically inclined. So it is easier for a developer to communicate. You also get emails regarding the success rate of your requests weakly. This is great especially when I do not have time to check logs of some projects or I'm on vacation etc. great addition.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

I feel like zyte needs an update regarding their documentation on how to use the proxies outside of scrapy. It would be better if the process was more streamline that the current implementation. When building a project you want to spend as much time as possible regarding the project and not how to connect the proxy so you can access the resource. Also a responsive design on the platform would be a nice addition.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Accessing resources that either rate limit you. Or straight up do not give you a response through scrapy.

**Official Response from Julie Nevin:**

> We're glad to hear that you appreciate the professionalism of our team and the quality of our product. We understand your feedback about the our documentation , and we will take it into consideration for future updates. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

  ### 40. High success rate

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

The high success rate and the docuementation for developers is decent.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Understanding pricing is confusing as Zyte API now differentiates between "tier" of website rather than pricing being based on total traffic.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zyte API, previously Smartproxy, gives us a very high success rate when using proxies to browse sites.

  ### 41. Zyte is unique in its department today

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Giulio C. | Program Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

When using Scrapy spiders, Zyte is the best in the segment, no questions. It's easy to set up and maintain. And the customer support has been great.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

The crawlers take a bit longer to execute than normal. And sometimes fail without a clear reason.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It makes managing Scrapy spiders easier,  as we didn't have to implement runners, observability stack, proxies, etc.

**Official Response from Tomas Rinke:**

> Hi Giulio, Thanks for the great feedback! We are really proud of our super technical support team- and how they focus on being solutions oriented. 
It's great to hear that Zyte has made managing the whole web scraping ecosystem work for you, eliminating the need to implement additional components. We're committed to providing solutions that benefit our customers.

We would love to hear your feedback on the long executions and occasional fails with scrapy cloud. Feel free to reach out via support. 

  ### 42. For regular scraping jobs, I can recommend Zyte, the former Scrapinghub.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jörn E. | Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

We use Zyte for about 50 scrapers that run almost daily. Zyte is reliable, uses a variety of servers and IP addresses. We have been using it for several years now. Zyte offers logging of scraping requests and scraped items. With Zyte you can download scraped items to the file system of your choice.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Zyte IP addresses seem to be known. We encounter that the request from Zyte are being blocked by a small number of sites. In this case, we use a proxy in order to keep the functionality of Zyte available.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We collect Swiss court cases from official web sites

  ### 43. Trustable API to bypass antibot measures from websites

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marc B. | Back-end Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

ZyteAPI integrates easily with any existing project and offers an optimal tier-like subscription system. It performs well when forwarding requesting through their services It solves a wide range of use cases that suits our needs. Besides, it fails on a very small number of requests which you do NOT need to pay for.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

The only downside is the availability of the statistics on the API usage. You can only access the subscription costs and the request/response lifecycle results in their website. It does not provide any endpoint to consume such stats as for to automate the cost revision.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows to successfully request content from websites in a very straight way. Usually, it takes time to understand and implement different approaches to bypass each type of website.

**Official Response from Julie Nevin:**

> We're glad to hear that you find ZyteAPI easy to integrate and that it meets your needs for bypassing antibot measures.

  ### 44. Reliable experience using Zyte for web scraping purposes, with good customer service support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Most websites can be easily unblocked, even those that require javascript rendering. Customer support is helpful and determined to solve your problems. Implementation is relatively straightforward with good documentations.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Javascript rendering pages via Zyte API can sometimes take too long. Zyte Autoextract is too slow so we stopped using it.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We need lots of product data from various e-commerce websites as part of building and populating our platform, and Zyte provides us with the means to do that.

**Official Response from Tomas Rinke:**

> Thank you for your fantastic 4.5-star review and for highlighting your reliable experience with Zyte for your web scraping needs!

  ### 45. Great, easy to use, no problems

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ravenna C. | Data Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 12, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte was easy to implement in web spiders that were already written in Scrapy. After implementation, I don't notice it's there - but I do know that it works, becuase we have no problems scraping Javascript, no issues with bans or errors, and we're able to crawl everything intended. Very easy to use and integrate! We use it for all of our crawling needs. I've also always gotten fast replies from customer support.

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

The payment structure of half upfront/half at the end of the month encourages us to underestimate usage at the beginning of the month and increase as we go, which leads to complications with multiple invoices per month on heavy-usage months.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crawling at scale without worrying about bans or rendering.

**Official Response from Julie Nevin:**

> Thank you for sharing your experience with Zyte. We understand your concern about the payment structure and will take that into consideration for future improvements.

  ### 46. Focus on Ethical Scraping

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yash A. | Senior procurement , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

  ### 47. The industry leader in webscrape

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Luiz L. | Leads Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

Zyte's API is very easy and intuitive to use, which guarantees greater speed in project development and implementation. Anti-ban, default proxy technologies already solve many difficult cases. 

One of Zyte's strengths is its flexibility. When we faced problems in our custom project (scraping restrictions), the Zyte team was able to be flexible and change the scope to serve us in the best way possible. The Zyte team behind the excellent Zyte api product has a good onboarding team

The possibility of creating a trial account and adding a credit card is a great advantage for small businesses.

Zyte easily integrates with AWS  and for us this is a differentiator, being able to work with the entire ETL process in S3 and redshift in an automated data pipeline

**What do you dislike about Zyte?**

Zyte could improve the dashboard for reports by date and by website. It would also be very useful to include errors found, as well as details on the number of requests made by date and by site.

Additionally, the pricing and cost model for Zyte's custom projects could be better explored and addressed. Many companies today have a very lean team and leaving the project in the hands of Zyte can be very beneficial, however prices and staff need to be more transparent.

**What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Complex Web Scraping Challenges: Many organizations struggle with the technical complexities of web scraping - things like handling JavaScript-heavy websites, dealing with anti-scraping measures, managing proxy infrastructure, etc. The Zyte API already has many solutions to these problems built-in. The success rate is very close to 100% .

We also work with the Zyte team on end-to-end customized projects, especially in situations where the team is lean and deadlines are short. With a customized project, we have direct access to an account manager and a technical team and solution architects who help us with the quality of delivery.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2024

**What do you like best about Zyte?**

When I evaluated the tools, one of the most important items was the speed and quality of support, and Zyte was very agile and accurate from the beginning. I use the Zyte API product, which brings me countless advantages since I don't have to deal with IP pools, bans, or even LOGs. I can get the data set and do the ETL smoothly without putting my process and IPs at risk.

The documentation was very helpful during my initial implementation, and the API is very easy to use and integrate. 

I've been scraping hundreds of pages twice a day for the last 6+ months with no problem.
