One of the biggest pain points we’ve heard from our Zyte Smart Proxy Manager (formerly Crawlera) customers last year is the inconvenience of having to jump from one Zyte Smart Proxy Manager plan to another when more requests are needed in a month. For this reason, we have been working on rethinking our Zyte Smart Proxy Manager plans to better accommodate these cases and be more flexible with customers that have variable crawling requirements from month to month.
Better plans suited for your web scraping needs
Today, we are introducing a new group of Zyte Smart Proxy Manager plans that allow you to go over your monthly quota without the hassle of upgrading and downgrading plans. You stay on a single plan and pay for overages, only when you incur them. You will also be able to limit the amount of overages you can incur, to protect against unexpected expenses.
We are also simplifying the number of plans to just three:
Basic, our starter plan, for companies and scraping professionals who need to scale reliably at low scale
Advanced, for companies with stronger scraping requirements and medium scale
Enterprise, for companies that rely on mission-critical, high scale web scraping needs and require personalized assistance
These new plans replace the old “C plans” (C10, C50, C100, C200) which are no longer available to new customers. If you are already subscribed to an old plan, nothing changes for you at this time. We will notify you if there is a change that will impact your plan.
Free trial
In addition to overages, we are also introducing free trials for Basic & Advanced plans, another popular request we’ve heard in our customer feedback. We believe customers have the right to experience the great performance and reliability of our Zyte Smart Proxy Manager network before committing to a paid plan, and this enables that.
Finally, users on the new plans come with a stronger configuration to achieve better performance and success rates for the most difficult websites.
