Zyte Is Developer Infrastructure. ScrapeWise Is Built for Your Team.

Zyte built the Scrapy ecosystem and serves enterprise clients who need managed data services at scale. For everyone else — e-commerce managers and pricing teams without a Scrapy developer on staff — the 5-tier billing model and surprise invoices are a barrier.

WHY SWITCH

Why Teams Leave Zyte

01

Bills That Spiral Out of Control

Per-request pricing across 5 tiers ranges from $0.06 to $16.08 per 1,000 requests — a 268x spread. Users report bills 40x higher than expected with no effective spending caps.

02

Requires Python Developers

Custom extraction requires Scrapy expertise and Python development. Business teams can't build or modify scrapers without developer support.

03

Slow Support for Urgent Issues

Users report 24-48 hour response times for support tickets, with weekend gaps. When your scraper breaks on a Friday, you wait until Monday for a fix.

Same Extraction Power, Zero Scrapy

Zyte built the Scrapy ecosystem and has deep expertise. But if your team doesn't have Python developers and wants predictable costs, ScrapeWise removes both barriers.

With Zyte
  • Need Scrapy/Python expertise for custom scrapers
  • Per-request pricing across 5 confusing tiers

VS
