Outbound Operations Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solid tool with trade-offs—worth it if you're serious about scraping" March 2, 2026 5.0 ZenRows simplified our web scraping workflow significantly. We went from managing our own proxy infrastructure and dealing with constant blocks to having a reliable, hands-off solution. It's not perfect—costs add up and the docs need work—but for our use case, it's worth it. We've been using it for about 3 months and would recommend it to anyone doing serious scraping at scale especially when using it wit Clay. Pros The rotating proxy system is a lifesaver. We were getting blocked constantly, and ZenRows handles it without extra configuration. Also appreciate the browser automation—saves us from maintaining our own infrastructure. Customer support responds quickly when we hit edge cases. Cons Pricing scales up quickly if you need high volume. Also, documentation could be clearer for some of the advanced features—took us a while to figure out optimal proxy rotation settings. And response times can lag during peak hours, which was frustrating for time-sensitive scraping jobs.

Owner Insurance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good set of products worth trying" June 15, 2025 5.0 Overall very pleased and hoping to do epxerience more as my solution grows bigger. I'm confident ZenRows will meet my requirements. Pros Versatility - ability to scrape trough API and ease connecting remote puppeteer browser is definitelly a plus. Cons Subscription model is a bit hard to work with in my case due to varying traffic/need - topping up makes it a bit easier though Alternatives considered [ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/)[ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) Reason for choosing Zenrows Abitility to connect to remote browser instance Review Source Response from ZenRows July 8, 2025 Thanks so much for your review! Really glad to hear the flexibility of our API and the remote browser support have been working well for you. Sounds like you're building something great, and it's awesome to be part of it.

We it to scrape various areas of the Internet and not only does it actually work but it's the fastest solution that we found. Pros Zen Rows has been very great and scraping the Internet once security is better than it's ever done. We had a few changes pop up that were detrimental of business and we were able to shift gears by using Zen rows and not only was it a solution, but it was better than our previous solution as well and we are feeling The Zen :) Cons Nothing really, besides maybe for the pricing tiers within each tier are structured. Bit besides that Alternatives considered [Bright Data](https://www.capterra.com/p/208755/Bright-Data/) Reason for choosing Zenrows Superior product at fair cost it was at least as good Switched from [Zyte](https://www.capterra.com/p/180165/Zyte/) They couldn't handle scraping yelp any longer, and the price also increased. Review Source Response from ZenRows June 2, 2025 Thank you for sharing such an amazing and encouraging review! We're thrilled to hear that ZenRows helped you shift gears when it mattered most and even outperformed your previous solution. That’s exactly the kind of impact we strive to have.

Admin Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best worthy service " July 4, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with ZenRows has been positive. It simplifies web scraping by handling proxies, CAPTCHAs, and dynamic content efficiently. The API is well-documented and easy to integrate, saving time and reducing development headaches. It's reliable for most sites, though very complex pages may require extra tweaking. Pros Speed and performance of the service api which has solved all my issues for ever , after struggling for months. Cons The biggest downside of ZenRows is its occasional difficulty handling complex JavaScript-heavy sites. Switched from [Amazon API Gateway](https://www.capterra.com/p/234264/Amazon-API-Gateway/) Because i needed a faster and more reliable service Review Source Response from ZenRows July 8, 2025 Thanks a lot for your review! We're really happy to hear that ZenRows has helped solve the issues you were facing and that the speed and performance have made a difference. That’s exactly what we aim for. You’re right that some JavaScript-heavy sites can still be tricky. We’re constantly improving our handling of those cases, so if you ever run into a specific challenge, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to take a look and help you get the best possible results. Thanks again for using ZenRows. We're here whenever you need us! AM Anwaar M. CEO Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review on Zen rows" May 9, 2025 4.0 Zenrows is nice and I will use them still but they need to improve their analytics. It's a pain to view and understand Pros I liked that zen rows made it super easy to implement when it came to the code Cons Analytics was a pain with zen rows and it's quite difficult to understand exactly how you are getting charged and how it's broken down. They give insights on requests but not actual billing. As they give summations of values and also the insights for proxies wasn't that good Switched from [Oxylabs](https://www.capterra.com/p/10001951/Oxylabs/) Oxylabs was horrible to deal with and I did not like them Review Source Response from ZenRows June 2, 2025 Thanks so much for your honest feedback, we really appreciate it. We’re happy to hear that the implementation process was smooth and that ZenRows made coding easier for you. At the same time, we completely understand your frustration with the analytics and billing clarity. You're right, this is something we’re actively working to improve. We want billing and usage data to be as transparent and easy to understand as the rest of our product. In the meantime, if you ever need a breakdown or clarification on your billing or proxy usage, please reach out via chat or email us at success@zenrows.com. We're happy to walk you through it. VR Verified Reviewer CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Keep going!" January 5, 2026 4.0 Basically great, and we will continue to use it for our application. Customers can specify websites whose data they want to receive in a structured format, and we then extract the data and take care of the process automation for them. Pros Easy to use, and even websites that are more difficult to scrape work as desired. We haven't used the other features yet, but will consider them as soon as we see a use case. Cons Currently, we are not even close to reaching the number of queries that would be possible, which means we are spending too much on the subscription. A smaller subscription would be ideal for us as a startup, or request-based pricing would be great. Depending on the website, the builder freezes and the page has to be reloaded, which is a bit tedious. Review Source Response from ZenRows January 21, 2026 Thanks for sharing your experience with ZenRows! We’re glad to hear that the ease of use and success on more challenging websites have worked well for your application, and it’s great to know you plan to explore more features as your use cases grow. We also really appreciate your feedback around pricing and the builder behavior. We understand how important flexible plans are for startups, especially when usage is still ramping up, and your input helps us evaluate better options going forward. Regarding the builder freezing on certain sites, if you notice this happening consistently, feel free to reach out so we can take a closer look. Thanks again for using ZenRows and for trusting us as part of your automation workflow. We’re happy to support you as you continue to grow. SS Shota S. Developer Broadcast Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Residential Proxy" July 28, 2025 5.0 Pros ZenRows simplifies web scraping by handling complex challenges like CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript rendering, and rotating proxies. It provides a single API endpoint that abstracts away the need for managing user agents or headless browsers. With its robust anti-bot evasion mechanisms, you can reliably scrape data from heavily protected websites. ZenRows also offers country-specific IPs, useful for geo-targeted content. Its scalability and generous documentation make it ideal for both startups and enterprises. The response speed is generally fast, and you can extract structured data with built-in parsing tools, reducing the need for extra post-processing steps. Cons Despite its strengths, ZenRows has some drawbacks. The cost can become high with heavy or large-scale usage, especially for frequent data extractions. It relies on third-party infrastructure, so any downtime or service limits affect your operations. Some complex sites might still require custom logic beyond ZenRows’ capabilities. Additionally, real-time data scraping can be limited by rate throttling or API response lag. There's also a learning curve to fully optimize its advanced features. Finally, over-reliance on a scraping API may reduce long-term flexibility if you later decide to switch to in-house scraping infrastructure. Review Source Response from ZenRows August 6, 2025 Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review. It’s great to hear that ZenRows has made your scraping work easier and that the features like CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript rendering, and built-in parsing tools have been useful for you. We’re also happy you’ve found our documentation and scalability helpful. I appreciate you pointing out the areas where we can do better, like costs at higher volumes and the challenges with very complex sites. We’ll keep working on making things more efficient and flexible. If you ever run into a tricky case or want help optimizing, just drop us a message in the chat or email us at success@zenrows.com.

CTO Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Internet for robots" September 24, 2025 4.0 I started using it because I needed to feed my Llms with current web data, even tho this is not the main use case for the product, works like a charm. Pros Simple implementation. Simple configuration. Simple results. I use it as a browser for LLMs, and it's beautiful. Cons Premium calls don't automatically fallback to standard calls upon failure. Same with rendering JavaScript. Review Source Response from ZenRows October 3, 2025 Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear how smoothly ZenRows fits into your workflow, even for use cases like feeding LLMs with fresh web data. We appreciate your note about fallback handling on premium and JS rendering requests, that’s really helpful feedback for us as we keep improving! Josh N. founder Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "zenrows review" August 16, 2025 4.0 Pros very easy to use, clean interface. integrates with clay.com which is awesome. very cheap as well for scraping Cons pricing plans - the lowest is 70/mo - wish they had a hobby plan. only thing that is holding me back from 5 stars Review Source Response from ZenRows September 22, 2025 Thanks a lot for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you found ZenRows easy to use, with a clean interface and smooth integration with Clay. We hear you on the pricing! Having a lighter, hobby-friendly plan is something we’ve seen requested, and your feedback helps us keep it on the radar. In the meantime, if your needs change or you want to discuss what option might fit best, feel free to reach out to us at cuccess@zenrows.com or via chat. RD Robert D. Machine Learning Engineer Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great idea, but scalability can be improved through cheaper IP solutions" July 29, 2025 4.0 Unfortunately I had to switch to a cheaper solution for now that allows me to scrape at scale. I am still considering including the ZenRows solution as a fallback to the main case. Pros I really enjoyed using the remote CDP. I think the idea that I can connect to an instance where the browser is configured with the latest stealth best practices is very useful Cons Scraping at scale gets expensive, and I can't benefit from using the cloud browser instance with cheaper shared data center IPs if my target allows it. Review Source Response from ZenRows August 6, 2025 Thanks for sharing your experience with us. It’s great to hear that you found the remote CDP useful and appreciated the ability to connect to a browser instance that’s already configured with the latest stealth best practices. We understand your point about cost when scraping at scale and your feedback about using the cloud browser with different IP options is valuable. If you ever decide to revisit ZenRows, we’d be happy to work with you on finding the most cost‑effective way to integrate it. You can always reach us at success@zenrows.com or via chat. MN Martin N. IT Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Zenrow - Great product" November 29, 2024 4.0 Great product. Did what had to do and was easy to use. Pros Quick and fast service when I had a billing issue. Product worked great. Cons Cost is expensive. It makes it difficult to always use your product because of this. Review Source Response from ZenRows December 17, 2024 Thank you for your kind words and feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with both our product and our customer service team. Providing quick and efficient support is something we always strive for.

Cons What I liked least about zenrows is the lack of plans. Review Source Response from ZenRows November 7, 2024 Thank you for sharing your experience with ZenRows! We’re thrilled to hear that our team’s responsiveness has been a highlight for you. Regarding our plans, we actually offer a range of options designed to meet different needs, from Developer and Startup to Business, Business+, and Enterprise plans. We’d be happy to help you find the plan that best fits your specific requirements. Thank you again for your feedback. If you have any questions about our plans or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out! VR Verified Reviewer Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product and great customer service" April 28, 2024 5.0 Pros Super quick and easy to set up. I'm an experienced developer but wanted a simple solution that would abstract away some of the challenges around IP rotation etc. I looked into and tried a number of options (including e.g. Scrapfly) and found that ZenRows was by far the best and most reliable. The API responds fast and has a very high success rate vs other services I tried. Customer service has also been fantastic. Cons I ran into an issue at one stage where requests were either hanging/timing out or failing, but I raised it with their support and they resolved it almost instantly. Gave a lot of peace of mind. Review Source Response from ZenRows May 14, 2024 We're over the moon to hear about your experience with us! Thank you for sharing your positive feedback. It's customers like you that make what we do so rewarding. We're committed to maintaining this level of excellence. MP Michael P. CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Super easy to use - does what I need and does it reliably" February 19, 2024 5.0 Pros Very straightforward to use, pricing is transparent with how much the different types of requests will cost. Their support of autoparsing popular scraped sites into json format is a huge time saver. Customer support has always been very responsive and they even implemented a feature request I had within a day. It's also very reliable for the sites that will easily block you if you don't use ZenRows. Cons I am worried about the autoparsing functionality they provide. If I understand correctly, they have to maintain parsing logic for a number of sites which means that if the sites change their html structure, it could be that the parsing logic fails. As long as there is a certain minimum threshold for reliably delivering this information and also fast fixes then I won't worry so much. Reason for choosing Zenrows Compared to data providers for the data we needed, ZenRows gives us the infrastructure to build out what we need internally instead of relying on data providers with stale data and extremely high prices (generally 1 year lock-in). Review Source Pedro C. Data Scientist Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fast WAF anti-bot bypass solution" October 7, 2023 5.0 The reason I started using ZenRows is because a WAF was blocking me and the data was critical for my project. I was considering a lot of approaches and ZenRows did the job. Pros The best of ZenRows is how responsive it is. It fits my needs and the evolution I have seen in all this time using it is always towards giving me more options. Cons The autoparser feature is very nice, but I would like it more if it supported a longer list of websites. Review Source Bernard F. Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Scalability at its best" February 15, 2023 5.0 Pros I started in the world of web scraping recently. I was investigating and experimenting with ZenRows. And at this moment I have earned a lot of contracts. With ZenRows, I leveled up my game from beginner to pro, so for me the scalability is what I like the most. Cons An antibot was not allowing me to succeed, but after some days the issue was solved and I made my way. Review Source Alper B. Data Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A beautiful tool for data extraction from websites" October 10, 2022 5.0 They provide more API calls for less money, along with antibot bypassing solutions - which I haven’t seen on another platform yet. So my experience was great. I still use it for data extraction tasks and will continue to use it. Pros I'm a freelance data engineer and I used ZenRows for a few months now. I scraped a variety of platforms that implement antibots, mostly NFT and cryptocurrency, and some job application websites. With their API, my ETL pipeline runs like butter. Along with a high success rate, I never had to worry about bot prevention systems since their API also takes care of that. They provide a request builder which you can use to interactively build your API request URL. You can construct the request URL by specifying CSS selectors, it even provides an auto-parser, which automatically grabs the data and returns it in a JSON schema. Cons I used the Developer package and the package provided 10 concurrent threads. I was able to build optimized ETL pipelines for my clients but I don’t know if it’s enough for other developers. Review Source BC Brady C. CTO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to implement, works great from the get-go" October 8, 2023 5.0 Pros It was easy to setup, and once we got it going, the learning curve was easy and we are getting the valuable data we need. Cons It is relatively expensive, to the point where we would consider running our own scraping architecture if our bill continues to grow. Also, the logged-in dashboard could use some improvement to enable us to better understand scraping failure cases. Review Source LT Lee T. CEO Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Captcha Solver" November 29, 2023 5.0 10/10 service, quick response from support team, API works great with my system, will continue using their services for my business usage. Pros I love the ability to bypass the captcha obstacles, Zenrows is a captcha killer. Cons I'm charged for pages without data to extract but I can understand, they've done their part. Review Source Valeria S. Data Analyst Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use" December 13, 2022 5.0 I love how flexible the costs are, my experience with ZenRows has been that I always got to pay what I used. Pros My fav feature is the automatic retries. I know it's a common thing, but the way ZenRows has implemented it makes it look like there is no blocking at all. The API works sensationally, too. Overall, the thing I like the most is how easy to use ZenRows is and how good everything works. Cons Everything has been working finely to this date :) Review Source Valeriano S. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome support" March 2, 2023 5.0 Pros Every time I had anything to ask, any doubt or any blocker, the support team was there for me. As advertised, the availability is 24 hours a day, every day of the week. And I had the opportunity to test that. So the best for me is the support. Also, the speed is optimal and the proxy rotation is awesome. Cons I hope ZenRows keeps up with the good work, I did not find anything I dislike. Review Source Samson G. Software Developer Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This software is a blessing" October 10, 2022 5.0 In my case, a business shall be approved and tons of data are needed ASAP for validation. There is no physical possibility to get all of that data manually. That is why I use ZenRows. Pros What I love from this software is the amount of time that saved me and that it allowed me to deliver on time. Working in a start-up is a very challenging task and most of the time work has to be done before even starting. ZenRows saved my life a couple of times. Cons It does have a small learning curve, but there is a lot of documentation and tutorials. Review Source Andrzej P. Co-founder Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing support, easy-to-use tool!" November 21, 2023 5.0 Pros I was scraping a difficult website and the team was super helpful in overcoming any problems — plus, they did it super fast! Cons Nothing really. Everything worked exactly as it should. Review Source MN Mahmoud N. Sales Agent Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Zenrows Data Scraping" February 17, 2024 5.0 overall I've had a good experience and would recommend Pros Zenrows provides good API's that help with data extraction software Cons It takes sometime to load and extract the data, If it was faster would be alot better Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
