How Pricing Works
Shared Credit Balance
Each plan gives you a monthly credit allowance that you spend across every Zenrows product from one shared balance. There’s no separate limit per product.Pay Only for Success
You’re charged only for successful requests. Failed or retried requests don’t consume your balance. HTTP 404 and 410 responses count as successful because the request completed correctly and returned valid data.Cost Multipliers for Fetch
Different features multiply your base credit cost depending on the infrastructure required:Residential Proxies and Browser Sessions
Residential Proxies, used standalone, meter at a flat 25,000 credits per GB on every plan. Browser Sessions bill on bandwidth (the same 25,000 credits/GB) plus a flat 5 credits per minute of session time. Everything runs off the same shared balance.Plan Comparison
Top-Up Packs
Sized so one pack comfortably covers a shortfall and two packs are enough to make an upgrade the better deal. Up to 4 top-ups per billing period; unused top-up credits roll into the next period.Concurrency, Support, and Rollover
Concurrency and support scale by tier, not by rung: moving up a rung within a tier buys more monthly credits, moving to a new tier buys more capability.Credit Calculation Examples
Fetch and Extract
- Available requests = Plan credits ÷ credits per request (1 for standard, 5 for JavaScript rendering, 10 for Premium Proxies, 25 for protected)
- Extract runs through the same Fetch client and draws credits the same way: add
extract=autoto a request and it draws exactly what the underlying Fetch call would.
Batch
- Billed identically to Fetch: per successful task, using the same credit weights.
Browser Sessions
- Total credits = (GB used × 25,000) + (session minutes × 5)
Residential Proxies (Legacy)
- Total credits = GB used × 25,000
Remember: you pay only for successful requests across all products.
Choose Your Plan
- Estimate your monthly volume: how many standard vs. protected pages will you scrape?
- Add Browser Sessions or standalone Residential Proxies usage: estimate the GB and session minutes you’ll need.
- Match your total against the plan table above, with some buffer room for growth.
Managing Your Subscription
Access all subscription changes from your Plans or Billing pages.Top-Ups
You’ll receive usage alerts at 80% and 95% of your limit, if enabled from your Notifications settings. Top-ups let you add credits without changing plans. See the pack prices for your rung in the Top-Up Packs table above.- Limit: up to 4 top-ups per billing period
- Rollover: unused top-up credits roll into the next period
Upgrading Your Plan
When you upgrade your plan, the change takes effect immediately. Here’s what happens to your credits and limits:- When it applies: Immediately after purchase
- Credit carry-over: Any unused credits from your current plan, including base plan credits, top-ups, and any admin-granted credits, automatically carry over to your new plan. This carried-over amount is added on top of your new plan’s allowance as bonus credits, giving you extra usage from day one.
- Top-up limits reset: The carried-over bonus credits don’t count against your new plan’s top-up purchase limit. You start the new billing period fresh and can purchase top-ups as usual.
Downgrading Your Plan
- When it applies: At the end of your current billing cycle
- During transition: You keep your current limits until renewal
