Zyte
no commitment, no overage penalty, and a sixteenfold price range
genuinely fair terms — no minimum, no overage penalty, $5 to try it — wrapped around a price that varies sixteenfold on a tier assignment you do not control.
the commercial terms here are the friendliest in the ranking and it is not close. no minimum commitment is required. if you exceed a commitment you took voluntarily, you are charged at your existing discounted rate rather than a penalty rate, which the vendor states plainly. there is $5 of free credit and thirty days to spend it. Zyte also stands behind Scrapy, which is BSD-3-Clause with 63,982 stars and remains the default python scraping framework.
then you look at the price. browser rendering is banded into five site-complexity tiers running from $1.01 to $16.08 per thousand. the cheapest band is the cheapest rendered price in this entire ranking. the most expensive is more than seventeen times Scrapfly's rate for the identical output. which band your target falls into is Zyte's assessment, not your choice, and the headline marketing figure of $0.06 per thousand refers to the Simple tier, non-rendered, on a $500 monthly commitment — three qualifiers deep.
