ZenRows

Pros: The ease of use and consistency. Since the implemented the auto retry, it really is as easy as importing a single library/sdk and two lines of code to get reliable results for any request. We used to use zenrows for a single complicated call with lots of code around it but over the almost 2 years we have been using it the usage has become easier and more reliable so that now even smaller/new projects use zenrows for quick and easy access to some scraped data.

Cons: leaving out the price, all my problems with ZenRows have been adressed over the last year. So besides the fact that we need to pay the bigger package without actually needing most of it. Everything else is fine.

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.

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.

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.

Pros: Simple to use API, comprehensive documentation made our integration of ZenRows a snap. Having data capture abstracted into an API was a real time saver

Cons: Some of the nuances of sites that we wanted to capture data from were a bit tricky to get straight. The ZenRows documentation pointed us in the right direction

Pros: With Clay it's perfect

Cons: nothing, it's doing what it's supposed to do fast and cheap

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Pros: It works and i like that we can clean and get the data the way we want. So to speak only give me the text back and this is what it does. It also makes easy to see it in real time for single request which is amazing.

Cons: I think their documentation could improve. We did mulitple times using their solution not knowing that dead links or some domains would result in blocking and using the higher end scraper which would cost us more credits. the team was still helpfull on the chat

Pros: Zenrows SDK provides you a powerful antidetect and unlock infrastructure all within a simple API call, truly a great tool for data collection/scraping

Cons: Pretty complicated to distribute usage across multiple services and not surpass concurrent requests limit.

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

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.

Pros: The ease of use, direct integration with Clay, etc.

Cons: ZenRows is fantastic. I have zero complaints.

Pros: Zenrows when paired with Clay has significantly upped my ability to produce great results for my clients.

Cons: Support is good but limited. I had some questions about using the tool that weren't answered.

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.

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.

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

Pros: I am using the API mostly and I like the quick way to start and utilize the product

Cons: You should have more fragmentation of the plans since I am between the smaller and higher version.
