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. Switched from [Clay](https://www.capterra.com/p/237944/Clay/) Claygent was too superficial and did not extract enough data Review Source BP Bartlomiej P. 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 understand what you mean about the subscription model. Traffic can definitely fluctuate.

Appreciate you choosing ZenRows! BK Baliram K. Software engineer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Web scrape" May 18, 2024 1.0 Pros Support many programming with easy integration. Cons Scraping quality was not good as I expected. Review Source Response from ZenRows May 24, 2024 Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and we understand your frustration. We reviewed your account and noticed you made a total of 33.000 requests.

We aim to provide exceptional service and it's clear we fell short in your case. We noticed you only reached out to us once regarding a trial inquiry.

CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Feeling "The Zen"" May 29, 2025 5.0 Great would highly recommend if you scrape the internet. 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!

Thinking about making marketing product from this website scrapper. Still testing scrapping some marketplaces. Pros Scraping protected website - very easy if you have knowledge about websites structures :-D. All working fine ! Cons Not 100% result rating, but it is 99% which is fine. Need to dig in into programming website to achieve best results. Review Source Response from ZenRows June 2, 2025 Thank you for the great review! We're happy to hear that you're finding ZenRows effective for scraping protected websites, especially with your knowledge of web structures!

We'd love to help, especially as you explore turning this into a marketing product! Thanks again for choosing ZenRows and best of luck with your testing! DB Dallen B. Investment Coordinator Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great resource, but hard to get started and grasp the whole capabilities" September 18, 2025 5.0 It has been positive. I think that it is very useful, especially in a world that is leaning further and further into AI. Pros It's super powerful and straightforward enough for someone who doesn't code. I felt like it was something I could learn really quickly. Cons It feels like there aren't too many quick-start type resources. I wish I had found more videos to showcase how can it be used easily and practically. Review Source Response from ZenRows September 22, 2025 Thanks for your review! We’re glad to hear that ZenRows has been powerful yet easy to learn, even without coding experience. That’s exactly what we aim for. We also appreciate your feedback on quick-start resources and videos. We’ll keep working on creating more practical examples to make it even easier to get started. BS Ben S. 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. Thank you for choosing ZenRows and sharing your experience. We’re committed to continually improving and making your journey with us even better! 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 ID Ismael D. Lead AI Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best scraper in the market for B2B companies" July 24, 2024 5.0 Pros Their proxies and AI detection algos are super powerful. Ran a bunch of benchmarks to scrpae B2B companies in the EMEA region and it works like a charm. 95% of the cases we obtain a satisfactory scraping with proxies on. Cons Little concurrency. Would like to run jobs on the 100s of cocncurrency as we will integrate this API to our platform. Review Source Response from ZenRows August 14, 2024 Thank you for the fantastic review! We appreciate your feedback regarding concurrency. We understand the importance of scaling and are actively working on enhancements on our services. Thank you for choosing ZenRows, and please feel free to reach out if you have any more suggestions or need further assistance. 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 EJ Enrique J. Analyst Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ZenRows is a game changer" December 10, 2023 5.0 ZenRows has been a game changer for me as I tackled a project to build a real estate database from multiple online portals. It helped me to create a comprehensive database for property market analysis. Pros What I like the most is its easy-to-use API, excellent documentation, and affordable pricing. My experience has been amazing. Overall, ZenRows is a highly effective scraping service. Cons So far, I don’t have any issues that I’d like to point out, I’m happy with what I get. Review Source FR Fiach R. Director Computer Networking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bypassed cloudflare" November 14, 2023 5.0 Pros Very useful for bypassing cloudflare. Reliable. And fast Cons Per request is expensive when proxies charge by mefabyte Review Source Robert K. Researcher Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic tool" December 13, 2023 5.0 I'm using ZenRows for e-commerce market analysis. I used to work with ScrapingBee, but they had a bug that was blocking me sitting there for too long and switching sides was the only thing for me left to do. Now I could not be happier. Pros I'm very happy with ZenRows. It provides optimal anti-bot bypass and support for even the most complex websites. It's fast and reliable. Whenever I encountered an issue, its team was quick to assist, making my scraping tasks much smoother. Cons As I wrote before, it's fast and reliable. Nothing negative to report. Review Source NP Nathan P. Consultant Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nate's review" June 3, 2024 5.0 Fantastic so far, quick customer service. Pros Easy to setup, quick, very effective. Would highly recommend. Cons None at the moment. All is good! I think my needs are somewhere between the Starter and Business package but with the AI Web Unblocker. But having the business plan does give me flexibility to expand.

CTO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Top of the line scraping software" July 24, 2024 5.0 Pros Very fast customer support. Without any issues (most of the time) getting past bot-protection. Cons Documentation should be improved upon. Some data is simply missing from the docs. To clarify: for simple use, it's written very clearly. Do you want to deep-dive? Expect some trial and error. Review Source Response from ZenRows August 14, 2024 Hi Rob. Thank you for the review! Your satisfaction with our service is our top priority. We appreciate your feedback on our documentation. We're aware that while it provides clear instructions for basic use, there's room for improvement.

Data Scientist Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great pricing and performance" January 5, 2023 5.0 Pros I tried a range of API web scrapers without being completely satisfied with any of them. Then, one day, I tried ZenRows. It offers great value for its price, as everything works correctly and is cheaper. Cons It is better and cheaper than others, but there is always room for improvement. Review Source Joseph N. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best web scraping API choice" October 18, 2022 5.0 Pros With the pass of time, ZenRows has proven to be the best choice of all the web scraping APIs out there. It was more than one year ago when I had to look for options and my team can’t be happier with our choice. Cons I’ve found slightly cheaper options, but much less sophisticated. I don’t regret choosing ZenRows. Review Source Alfredo R. Software Engineer Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "What I like the most is the time I save" November 15, 2022 5.0 My team adopted ZenRows some months ago and, since then, it comes very handy to use their API. Pros The overall experience is perfect. Connecting and rotating proxies is easy and reliable with this well thought api. Cons Not perfect, but it is much better that the other alternatives that we tried. Review Source jD jim D. sr. engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "scalable web scraping without rate limiting" March 5, 2024 5.0 Pros super easy to use with python.
