Choose Evomi if
- Teams choosing between low-commitment traffic and monthly GB tiers
- Agents that can use Evomi's documented MCP tools or Scraper API
Evomi offers raw proxy pools, static ISP IPs, Scraper API credits and official MCP tools. Zyte API charges target-tier successful requests for HTTP, rendered browser or extraction modes, with a separate CDP browser option. A managed extraction comparison must exclude Evomi's raw GB quote.

| Charging basis | Product-specific requests, results or credits | Product-specific requests, results or credits | Prepaid GB that never expires |
| How you pay | Rotating residential, premium residential, mobile and datacenter products meter GB through pay-as-you-go or monthly plans; static ISP is charged per IP without a traffic meter. Scraper API has separate credits. A 512-byte minimum billed consumption applies to each proxy request; check live checkout for core-residential pay-as-you-go tiers. | Zyte API offers pay-as-you-go without a monthly commitment and discounts at monthly commitments. Successful requests are charged according to the website tier and HTTP versus browser mode; extraction, forced residential, extended geo and some advanced actions can add usage costs. The CDP session meter is the greater of page navigations or rounded-up 15-second units at the domain's browser tier. | 350 MB trial for $1.95, then prepaid packages from $6.50/GB for 1 GB down to $2.50/GB for 1 TB. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Integration work | Generate type-specific proxy credentials in the dashboard for your HTTP client or browser. The Scraper API and published MCP server provide separate managed interfaces for agents and must be provisioned independently. | POST to https://api.zyte.com/v1/extract with the API key as Basic-auth username and request HTTP body, browser HTML or extraction; proxy mode uses api.zyte.com:8011. Eligible verified accounts can connect Playwright/Puppeteer to browser.zyte.com via CDP. | HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 endpoints on three regional gateways: Europe, the Americas and Asia. Export proxy lists in 8 formats for scripts, scrapers and antidetect browsers. |
| A small or irregular job | Compare a no-commitment GB purchase with the monthly tier for the exact pool, and account for the per-request traffic floor on tiny calls. | Enter the actual domain in Zyte's calculator and price its HTTP/browser tier plus options; the $0.13 Simple rate is not universal. | Start with the 350 MB trial for $1.95 or a 1 GB package. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Browser workflow | Use static ISP for a fixed IP or residential sticky sessions with your browser; Scraper API browser mode is a separate managed request product. | Use a browser-rendered API response for one page; use CDP only if interactive control is needed and verification/spending-limit requirements are met. | Sticky sessions from 1 second to 72 hours, with a named session ID for each browser profile. |
| Connecting an agent | Evomi publishes MCP tools for proxy configuration, scraping and usage; keep proxy credentials out of agent-visible tool output when using its documented masking option. | Wrap Zyte API in a custom MCP tool as Zyte documents, or evaluate the explicitly community-built Zyte Labs server; do not label it a hosted official API MCP service. | Point your agent's fetcher or browser tool at the proxy endpoint. ProxyLane supplies the network, not a hosted browser. |
| A growing production workload | Track proxy GB, static IP count and Scraper API credits separately; recheck volume terms and trial renewals before production rollout. | Track per-site request tiers and RPM limits, then choose a commitment only if actual billed usage justifies the discount. | Target by country, region, city, ZIP, ISP or ASN across 195 countries. Larger packages lower the rate to $2.50/GB. |

Submit the same known URLs to Evomi Scraper API and Zyte API, initially requesting the least costly response type that can produce the required fields. Escalate Zyte from HTTP to browser or extraction only when needed; its site tier and optional residential/geo actions affect the charge. Evomi's scraper credits are separate from its GB pools. Count completed records and retries, then price the exact target rather than using Zyte's Simple-tier starting rate.
For an MCP agent, Evomi has published tools for scraping, proxy setup and account use, including credential masking. Zyte documents a build-your-own API-backed MCP server and a separate community implementation. Decide who will operate the agent tool before comparing a completed task. If one fixed browser exit is essential, Evomi's per-IP static ISP addresses that requirement; Zyte's CDP is a remotely operated browser route with verification and a navigation-or-time meter. These are different branches from API extraction.

Evomi starts at $0.49 per GB (core: $49.99 a month for 100 GB), Zyte at $0.13 per 1K requests (simple-tier HTTP responses). Billing units differ, so compare the cost of a usable record on the same workload, not the headline rate.
