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.

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.

CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Scraper We've Used " November 4, 2024 5.0 Our team only took a day to integrate everything, and compared with other scrapers we've used, this is definitely much better in terms of success rate. Features like JSON formatting is also a really nice touch. Pros \- Very good API with good documentation and examples - High success rate for most websites (good captcha solvers) - Automatic parsing and JSON formatting - Good concurrency and scaling capability. Cons \- Pricing could get high once you reach higher volumes - Certain sites are banned in their policy (Facebook for example) Alternatives considered [Octoparse](https://www.capterra.com/p/150508/Octoparse/)[ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) Reason for choosing ZenRows Had a better product and better API documentation. Switched from [Octoparse](https://www.capterra.com/p/150508/Octoparse/) They didn't have good autoparse and their response times were very long. Review Source Response from ZenRows December 17, 2024 Thank you for your detailed and positive review! We’re thrilled to hear that you found our API easy to integrate and that it delivers a high success rate for your needs. We appreciate your candid feedback regarding pricing at higher volumes and site restrictions.

Data Scientist Package/Freight Delivery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple, Effective, and Intuitive" December 16, 2024 4.0 My experience has been positive. ZenRows is easy to use and works well for most of my scraping needs. Pros I like ZenRows for its simplicity and intuitive UI. The documentation is clear and helpful, and I found the Scraper API easy to implement. Cons The Output Autoparse feature didn’t work as well as I hoped on some sites. It might be that I’m using it for unsupported sites, but improving its performance or clarifying its limitations would be great. Alternatives considered [Apify](https://www.capterra.com/p/150854/Apify/)[ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/)[ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) Reason for choosing ZenRows I chose ZenRows because of its simplicity and intuitive interface. The documentation is clear, and the Scraper API is easy to set up and use. Review Source Response from ZenRows December 17, 2024 Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting what you enjoyed about ZenRows! We’re delighted to hear that you found our interface intuitive and our documentation clear. It’s great to know that our efforts to make the Scraper API easy to use have been helpful for you. We appreciate your feedback regarding the Autoparse feature. While it works well for supported sites, we understand that certain limitations can be frustrating.

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.

Financial markets analyst Capital Markets Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best web scraping product I have tested on the market " February 19, 2024 5.0 I'm using ZenRows to scrap highly protected websites since 3 months now. I was testing another similar product at the same time but I abandoned because the results I could get was under my expectations. With ZenRows scraping features I'm getting in time exactly what I'm expecting for. Pros \- Return successful requests even for JavaScript generated HTML contents - Can wait for a CSS selector or a fix amount of time before returning the content Cons \- Couldn't scrap one heavy JavaScript protected website I've tried to Reason for choosing ZenRows ZenRows shows better skills in web scraping. It's more efficient Switched from [Oxylabs](https://www.capterra.com/p/10001951/Oxylabs/) The other product result was under my expectations Review Source 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! HL Harikishan L. Personal use Capital Markets Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awesome experience" November 8, 2024 5.0 Good experience overall, once integrated did not face any issues Pros EASE OF USE, DETAILED DOCUMENTATIONS AND CODE SAMPLES Cons Maybe need a plan with more API calls for short payloads Review Source Response from ZenRows December 17, 2024 Thank you for sharing your feedback and for the wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you found ZenRows easy to use and appreciated the detailed documentation and code samples. Providing a seamless experience for our users is one of our top priorities. Your suggestion for a plan with more API calls for short payloads is valuable, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration as we explore ways to enhance our offerings. We’re thrilled you had a good experience and that everything worked smoothly post-integration. We look forward to continuing to support your scraping needs! KV Ken V. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Zenrows supercharges our outbound motion" February 5, 2025 5.0 The product is awesome - dead-simple to get to field, highly flexible, great UI, and works seamlessly with Clay. Pros The ease of use, direct integration with Clay, etc. Cons ZenRows is fantastic. I have zero complaints. Review Source Response from ZenRows May 9, 2025 Thank you so much for the enthusiastic review! We're thrilled to hear that ZenRows is powering your outbound efforts and that the integration with Clay is working so smoothly for you! RN Ryan N. SRE Broadcast Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good product, easy to use and integrate" June 4, 2024 4.0 Pros Simple, easy to use, reliable. 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 PB Pascal B. Chief Officer Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Cool API for Extraction " July 25, 2024 5.0 Perfect result . no need to work more on datas Pros API and ease of use Cons pricing Switched from [Zyte](https://www.capterra.com/p/180165/Zyte/) pricing Review Source Response from ZenRows August 14, 2024 Thank you for your great review! We appreciate your feedback on pricing. We’re always looking for ways to provide more value and improve our offerings. Thank you for choosing ZenRows! 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 TW Timon W. CEO Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Tool for Data Extraction on the market" July 14, 2024 5.0 Very good product and fast customer service. Pros The fact that all features we needed worked perfectly and if we need help the customer service is always there. Cons Nothing till now. Everything we needed ZenRows for worked. Review Source Response from ZenRows July 23, 2024 Hi Timon, Thank you for your fantastic review! Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're delighted that ZenRows has met your expectations. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide you with excellent service and a top-notch product. If you ever need anything, we're always here to assist you! 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 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 Juan Carlos H. Analyst Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Incredible web scraping toolkit" January 4, 2023 5.0 Pros Headless browser and premium rotational proxies. ZenRows is an incredible toolkit for web scraping. And from my experience, the success rate is higher than with other APIs I tested. Cons I believe the documentation could be a bit more summarized, sometimes it has a lot of info. Review Source AC A C. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for scraping" April 14, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use. Plenty of options. Very reliable scraping.
