Zyte API alternative for web scraping?
Piloterr as an alternative to Zyte API
Zyte API combines proxies, browser rendering, and AI extraction with Scrapy ecosystem ties. Piloterr targets teams that want 400+ library endpoints and published credit tiers without tier-by-site pricing surprises.
Library APIs at scale
Zyte API returns structured product/article/job data via AI parsers on any page. Piloterr adds 400+ domain-specific library endpoints when you prefer fixed schemas over generic extraction.
Clear unit economics
Zyte bills per successful request with site complexity tiers ($0.13–$15.98 per 1K browser requests). Piloterr uses 1/2/3 credit modes, compare forecasts once you know your JS vs standard mix.
Full bypass stack
AI Web Unblocker, WAF bypass, CAPTCHA solving, and headless browsers included for protected sites.
