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!

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.

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!

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. DM Daniel M. Marketing and Strategy Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Would recommend 10/10" March 10, 2025 5.0 Easy to start, learn and get going. Definitely one of my aces in the arsenal of services. Pros Very easy to use. Fair price. I love that you implemented new features, such as the Google scraping possibility, which eliminates my need for your competitors' services. Cons Using its API with, for example Clay, does need multiple updates sometimes because it doesn't fetch all at one. But definitely not a big problem. Switched from [SerpApi](https://www.capterra.com/p/252831/SerpApi/) This service is being rolled out with Zenrows, so why bother with other competitors? Review Source Response from ZenRows May 9, 2025 Thanks a lot for the glowing feedback and recommendation! We're glad to hear ZenRows has become one of your go-to tools and that features like Google scraping are hitting the mark. Regarding the integration with Clay requiring multiple updates. We're continuously working to improve compatibility and reliability in those workflows, so if you ever run into recurring friction, feel free to reach out via our chat or at success@zenrows.com. We’re here to help you get the most out of the platform. 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. RS Ruy S. 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! EV Elias V. Co-founder Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great experience overall" September 23, 2025 5.0 Overall, I'm really happy with Zenrows, as they provide us a done-for-you solution and peace of mind. Pros Ease of use and peace of mind knowing that our processes can run and keep running in the background while our team focuses on operations and sales. Cons I have a few concerns about scalability in terms of pricing. Could get quite costly if you run heavy ops. Review Source Response from ZenRows October 30, 2025 Thanks for your thoughtful review! We’re happy to hear that ZenRows gives you the peace of mind to focus on what matters most. Your feedback about scalability and pricing is completely valid, and we’re always exploring ways to make things more flexible for growing operations.

Head of AI and Emerging Technologies Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An Honest Review of Zenrows - Would Recommend, Still looking for more though." November 15, 2024 4.0 I have had a moderate experience with Zenrows. While I like how easy to use they are, I would trade that any day for better accuracy on sites that require Captcha or have bot protection and more features. Even with their advanced and premium features, I still face a 2/3 success rate on some sites. I would also like to have them add some of their auto captcha features to their browser. Pros API is very easy to use. The Analytics window provides a good amount of info. Pricing is alright. Cons I wish they would add more features like auto captcha solving to the Browser feature Review Source Response from ZenRows December 17, 2024 Thank you for your honest and detailed review! We’re glad to hear you find our API user-friendly and appreciate the insights provided by the Analytics window. Regarding your feedback about highly protected websites, you’re absolutely right. Some sites might face a lower success rate due to advanced anti-bot measures. However, we’re always here to help! Feel free to reach out to us via chat or at success@zenrows.com, and we’ll gladly take a closer look to investigate and explore ways to improve the success rate from our side.

I can use it without reading to detail document Cons The pricing of the service is high. It hard to adapt in production Review Source AM Alemnew M. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Zenrows is great to scrape highly protected sites" May 27, 2024 5.0 Overall, it is great service to scrape sites that are protected by Cloudflare and other antibot methods Pros \- Able to bypass most anti-bot protection - Easy-to-use API - Support different page interactions needed like clicking, waiting... Cons \- Doesn't have support for state-level proxy - It would be great to allow using another proxy provider as it sometimes lacks high-quality proxies needed for IP targeting sites - Still can't bypass protection on some sites though they say you can scrape any website Review Source Response from ZenRows June 4, 2024 Thank you for your detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that ZenRows has been effective in your use case. These insights are invaluable as we work to enhance our service and address any limitations.

Senior Software Developer Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Happy because it is fantastic" January 3, 2024 5.0 We use ZenRows to scrape e-commerce data and run competitors' analyses. We used ScrapingBee in the past, but its features were not evolving fast enough, and the success rate for some relevant websites was too low. Pros We're very happy with our decision to use ZenRows. Its API is easy to use, well-documented, and highly flexible. Whenever we encountered a challenge, its support was quick to assist, making our scraping tasks much smoother. Cons There's always room for improvement, but I don't find any major cons. Review Source Giuseppe C.

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.
