ZenRows® offers transparent, flexible pricing designed for different technical levels and scraping volumes. Every plan includes access to all ZenRows products — the Universal Scraper API, Scraping Browser, Residential Proxies, and Scraper APIs (Beta).

​
How Pricing Works

​
Shared Balance system

Each plan gives you a shared balance that you can spend across all ZenRows products. This means you have the flexibility to use any combination of our tools without worrying about separate limits for each product.

​
Pay Only for Success

You’re charged only for successful requests. Failed or retried requests don’t consume your balance. HTTP 404 and 410 responses count as successful because the request completed correctly and returned valid data.

​
What Affects Your Costs

Your costs depend on four main factors:
  • Page complexity — Basic public pages cost less than protected pages behind anti-bot systems (i.e., Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, etc.)
  • JavaScript rendering — Enabling browser-based rendering increases costs because it requires more computational resources
  • Premium proxies — These residential IP addresses improve success rates on protected or geo-targeted sites but cost more
  • Browser usage — When using the Scraping Browser, you pay based on data transferred (GB) and active session time

​
Cost Multipliers for Universal Scraper API

Different features multiply your base cost depending on the infrastructure required:
FeatureCost multiplier vs Basic
JavaScript Rendering×5
Premium Proxies×10
JS Rendering + Premium Proxies×25
Example costs per 1,000 requests (CPM):
  • Basic pages: $0.28
  • With JavaScript: $1.40
  • With Premium Proxies: $2.80
  • With both features: $7.00
These multipliers reflect the additional infrastructure needed for browser rendering and residential IP addresses.

​
Basic vs Protected Pages

Understanding the difference between these page types helps you estimate costs accurately:
  • Basic pages — Standard public websites like news articles, product listings, and blogs. These usually work without proxies or JavaScript rendering.
  • Protected pages — Sites using anti-bot protection (i.e., Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, etc). These need JavaScript rendering and Premium Proxies for reliable data extraction.
If you’re unsure about your page mix, use our Pricing Calculator to estimate how different page types affect your total cost.

​
Cost Calculation Examples

​
Universal Scraper API

  • Available requests = (Plan Balance ÷ Cost per 1,000 requests) × 1,000
  • Total cost = (Number of requests ÷ 1,000) × Cost per 1,000 requests

​
Scraping Browser

  • Total cost = (GB used × price per GB) + (Session hours × $0.09)
  • Sessions are billed in 30-second increments

​
Residential Proxies

  • Total cost = GB used × price per GB
Remember: You pay only for successful requests across all products.

Plan Comparison

A free trial period to test your use case.Price: FreeYour trial includes a $1 usage allowance shared across all products. Usage is displayed as a percentage of your total allowance in the dashboard — the same way paid plans show usage.
Different features consume your trial allowance at different rates due to cost multipliers. For example, a request with JavaScript Rendering uses 5× more of your allowance than a basic request, and one with Premium Proxies uses 10×. This means the number of API calls you make may not match the usage percentage you see — that’s expected.
Universal Scraper API
  • 1,000 basic results
  • 200 results using only the JS Rendering feature
  • 100 results using only the Premium Proxy feature
  • 40 protected results
Scraper APIs BETA
  • 1,000 results
Scraping Browser or Residential Proxies
  • 100 MB
Concurrency: 5 parallel requestsMaximum Download Size: 10 MBFeatures:
  • Everything from the Business Plan
Basic results = Public websites without anti-bot protection
Protected results = Sites behind firewalls, or heavy JavaScript
Concurrent requests = How many pages you can scrape simultaneously. Higher concurrency enables faster data extraction.

​
Managing Your Subscription

Access all subscription changes from your Plans or Billing pages.

​
Top-Ups

You’ll receive usage alerts at 80% and 95% of your limit, if enabled from your Notifications settings. Top-Ups let you extend usage without changing plans:
  • Cost: 15% of your plan price for 15% more usage
  • Limit: Up to 4 Top-Ups per billing cycle
    Set automatic Top-Ups to trigger at your chosen threshold (like 95%). To avoid surprises, enable invoice notifications in your Notification Settings.

​
Upgrading Your Plan

When you upgrade your plan, the change takes effect immediately. Here’s what happens to your usage and limits:
  • When it applies: Immediately after purchase
  • Usage carry over: Any unused balance from your current plan — including your base plan usage, top-ups, and any admin-granted usage — automatically carries over to your new plan. This carried-over amount is added on top of your new plan’s allowance as a bonus balance, giving you extra usage from day one.
  • Top-up limits reset: The carried-over bonus balance doesn’t count against your new plan’s top-up purchase limit. You start the new billing period fresh and can purchase top-ups as usual.
Example: If you’re on the $69/month plan with $39 in unused usage and upgrade to the $129/month plan, your new billing period starts with $129 + $39 = $168 in available usage.

​
Downgrading Your Plan

  • When it applies: At the end of your current billing cycle
  • During transition: You keep your current limits until renewal

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

ZenRows uses a subscription model. Each plan gives a monthly balance (e.g., Business = $299) to spend across all products.
Every successful request deducts cost according to its CPM or GB rate. You only pay for successful requests — failed or retried ones aren’t billed (404 and 410 count as successful).
No, the cost of requests is included in your plan, and your plan’s balance applies to all products. For example, if you’re on the Business plan, you pay $299 per month and receive $299 worth of usage to spend across all ZenRows products.
  1. Each product has a specific cost per request.
  2. The costs for all products are deducted from your shared balance.
For instance:If you spend $150 with the Universal Scraper API and $149 with the Scraping Browser, your total usage will be $299.
Keep in mind that your plan’s balance is shared across all products, not allocated separately to each product.
