Our verdict

Choose Zyte when a managed scraping API with a $100 monthly commit is the job — not Bright Data enterprise proxy commits by default. Compare Bright Data or Oxylabs for enterprise proxy estates; ScraperAPI for API-credit scraping; Apify for Actor compute; IPRoyal for cheap residential GB. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-18 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, host/GB rates and minimums on the vendor site before purchase.
