Initial free credit#
On sign up, you receive $5 free credit for your first billing month.
After your free credit expires, your account is suspended until you set a spending limit. Set a spending limit before your free credit expires to ensure uninterrupted service.
Standard plans include $5 free credit, while an Enterprise plan includes $200 free credit.
Switching between standard plans does not provide additional free credit. Your initial $5 credit carries over when you change your commitment level.
Request costs#
The target website and request type (HTTP or browser) determine the request tier and base cost.
Requests using extended geolocations or residential IPs have different base costs that depend only on request type, plus additional costs based on network consumption.
Additional costs apply for:
Network captures: Based on output size
Screenshots: $0.002 2
Automatic extraction: $0.0004-$0.0016 per data type 2 (except serp, which is free)
Custom attributes: Cost depends on the extraction method:
“generate”: Based on inputTokens ($0.002/1k) and outputTokens ($0.01/1k) 2
- 2(1,2,3,4)
Cost before volume discount.
- 3
Network costs scale with residential traffic usage.
Request tiers#
Zyte API automatically uses the most cost-efficient technology for each website and assigns price tiers accordingly.
There are 5 tiers each for HTTP requests and browser requests. Every combination of target website and request type belongs to a tier that determines the base cost. See Pricing @ zyte.com for tier pricing and distribution data.
Tier assignment is automatic. New combinations start with a temporary tier until enough data is gathered for permanent assignment.
We review tier assignments quarterly. Affected customers receive 2 weeks notice of any tier changes.
Successful responses#
You are only charged for successful responses. Rate-limiting and unsuccessful responses are free.
Spending limit#
Your spending limit is the maximum monthly charge for Zyte API usage. When reached, your account is suspended until the next billing month.
Enterprise plans have custom spending limits managed through your account manager.
On standard plans, you can either have a $100 spending limit with no monthly commitment, or a higher spending limit ($200, $400, $700 or $1000) with 50% as monthly commitment.
Increasing spending limits:
Takes effect immediately and lifts account suspension
For $200+ limits, you pay the monthly commitment difference immediately
Changes your monthly commitment for future billing cycles
Decreasing spending limits:
Takes effect next billing month
For limits above $1000, contact sales for an Enterprise plan.
Account suspension#
When you reach your spending limit, requests return account suspension responses.
Enterprise plans: Contact your account manager.
Standard plans: Increase your spending limit to immediately resume service.
Monthly commitment#
Enterprise plans: Custom monthly commitment
$100 spending limit: No monthly commitment (PAYG)
$200+ spending limit: Monthly commitment = 50% of spending limit
Your monthly commitment determines your volume discount.
Monthly commitment is paid at the start of each billing month. If your actual usage exceeds the commitment, you pay the difference on your next bill. If usage is below the commitment, no refund is provided.
Example: $200 spending limit = $100 monthly commitment
Month 1: Pay $100 commitment
Actual usage: $150 → Next bill includes $50 additional
Actual usage: $80 → Next bill includes $0 additional
Volume discount#
Volume discounts are applied to each request.
Enterprise plans: Custom volume discount
Standard plans: Volume discount based on monthly commitment:
