ZenRows rebuilds pricing around a shared 'credits' currency and four new primitives

ZenRows pricing

ZenRows replaced its dollar CPM/per-GB pricing with a shared credits currency across new Fetch/Extract/Batch/Browser Sessions primitives, and made Free a permanent $0 plan instead of a 14-day trial.

Before

Free trial ($0/14 days, $1 usage), Developer $69, Startup $129, Business $299/mo, plus a Business 500-3K high-volume tab up to $2,999/mo; billed in dollars via CPM (Scraper API), per-GB (Residential Proxies), and per-session-hour (Scraping Browser).

After

Free ($0/mo, permanent, 5,000 credits), Build $19-$39, Launch $69-$129, Growth $199-$399, Scale $549-$999/mo (3 rungs each); billed in a shared credits currency across Fetch/Extract/Batch/Browser Sessions with fixed 1x/5x/10x/25x multipliers; Residential Proxies demoted to legacy; Enterprise starts above 12.5M credits/month.

ZenRows rebuilt its entire pricing page around a new internal currency: credits. The prior dollar-denominated system — cost-per-1,000-requests (CPM) on the Universal Scraper API, per-GB billing on Residential Proxies, and a $0.09-per-session-hour fee on the Scraping Browser — has been replaced by a single credit balance that spans four renamed “primitives”: Fetch, Extract (new, beta), Batch (new, beta), and Browser Sessions. Credit weights are fixed and published (1 credit for a standard request, 5 for JavaScript rendering, 10 for Premium Proxies, 25 for both), and Residential Proxies is now labeled “(Legacy)” as a standalone add-on rather than a first-class product.

The tier ladder changed just as sharply. The old Developer/Startup/Business/Business-500-3K structure is gone, replaced by five named tiers — Free, Build, Launch, Growth, Scale — each split into three price/credit “rungs.” The cheapest paid rung (Build B1) now starts at $19/mo, down from Developer’s $69/mo, though the credit allowance and product surface are not directly comparable to the old per-request quotas. Free is no longer a 14-day, $1-usage trial: it is now a permanent $0/mo plan with 5,000 credits/month and no card required. A new Monthly/Annual toggle (17% off annually) replaces the old 3/6/12-month discount ladder, and Enterprise now kicks in above 12.5M credits/month rather than above the old $2,999/mo Business 3K plan.

The Developer/Startup/Business/Business-tab structure was replaced by Free/Build/Launch/Growth/Scale, each with 3 price/credit rungs; Free became a permanent $0/mo plan (5,000 credits) instead of a 14-day $1-usage trial, cheapest paid entry dropped from $69 to $19/mo, and a new Monthly/Annual toggle (17% off) replaced the old 3/6/12-month discount ladder. Enterprise now starts above 12.5M credits/month.
