Monthly subscriptions, before tax. Annual discounts and extra-credit purchases are excluded. A dash means the page states a price without stating that figure beside it, not that the plan has none.
The last column is ours, not theirs: the tier price divided by its credit allowance, times the quoted Standard request credit cost. It assumes the full allowance is used. The workload calculator includes the cost of credits you buy but leave unused.
Whose network is underneath
Not established
A scraping API is a storefront over somebody’s proxy pool. This one does not say whose. We looked twice: through its pricing, about and FAQ pages, and then through the places a supplier has to be named for data-protection reasons — subprocessor, trust, security and privacy pages. Neither names a network. That is not the same as there being no upstream.
It matters because ethics do not stop at the vendor boundary. In July 2026 the FBI seized a residential proxy platform built on roughly two million consumer devices enrolled with little or no meaningful consent, and that network was resold under other brands. A clean storefront can sit on top of one.

Questions
Does ZenRows ask for ID to sign up?
ZenRows does not state what it asks for at sign-up, and we have not been able to establish it from its own pages. That is a fact about the provider rather than a gap in the roster, and it is shown as one above.
Where does ZenRows get its addresses?
ZenRows is a scraping API rather than a proxy network: you send it a URL and it returns the page, using infrastructure it does not itemise. There is no residential pool of its own to disclose, so this site records no sourcing model for it and does not count it among the providers that will not say.
Does ZenRows offer a trial or a refund?
Trial: $0/mo 5,000 credits/month. Both are quoted from the provider's own terms rather than summarised, because a paraphrase of a refund window is the kind of precision nobody should take from us.
