PROXY PROVIDER COMPARISON

GonzoProxyvs Zyte

GonzoProxy offers a residential exit for software you run; Zyte API accepts target requests and can choose HTTP retrieval, browser HTML or extraction. Comparing their entry figures alone misses the operational split: one meters network bytes, while the other meters successful target responses and optional processing.

THREE ROUTES SIDE BY SIDE

What changes
for your workload

Choose how much fetching, rendering and extraction your team wants to own. Fetch the same permitted pages and extract the same fields: one route returns an API result, while the other leaves the HTTP client and parser with your team.

How you payResidential traffic is purchased in GB with volume-based tiers and no stated expiry. Mobile proxies are sold for a paid period with unlimited traffic during that period; confirm the location and current term at checkout.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 workGenerate residential proxy credentials in the dashboard; connect over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 with username/password or IP authorization and select rotation, session and location. A separate account API documents proxy management.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 jobA prepaid residential GB balance can suit sporadic jobs because GonzoProxy says it does not expire; estimate browser asset traffic before buying.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 workflowUse a sticky residential session for multi-page account work and configure the browser's HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 proxy; GonzoProxy is selling the proxy connection, not a hosted browser.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 agentPass GonzoProxy gateway credentials to an MCP browser/fetch tool you operate, or use its account API for management; verify your tool's proxy and credential support.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 workloadResidential volume tiers and enterprise quotes exist; test the exact target and session policy before committing traffic for an entire fleet.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.
Check before moving
  • The residential product is metered by traffic; a long browser session can consume more GB than a small HTTP scrape.
  • Its separate mobile offering is sold by time, so do not apply residential per-GB terms to mobile.
  • The cheapest per-1,000 HTTP rate is only the Simple website tier; browser rendering and advanced features can cost more.
  • Live CDP browser access requires business verification plus a subscription or pay-as-you-go spending limit; the free trial alone does not enable it.
  • Your team owns fetching, rendering and extraction; there is no managed scraping API.
  • Residential IPs only, with no mobile plans.
THE DECISION

Choose control of the client or managed retrieval

With stable Scrapy parsing already in place, point the HTTP client at GonzoProxy's residential gateway and retain its retry, cookie and extraction logic. Run the same URL set through Zyte API's HTTP path, requesting browser HTML only where the HTTP response lacks required fields. Measure accepted records and the amount of application work left after each response, not merely the first successful fetch.

GonzoProxy charges residential traffic by purchased GB and supports sticky sessions for workflows spanning pages. Zyte prices successful responses by website tier, with browser, extraction, forced residential and geo options potentially changing cost. Zyte's proxy mode can fit an existing client, but it remains Zyte API billing. Zyte's generally hosted first-party MCP endpoint was not verified; its own guide describes building a server, while GonzoProxy's gateway can feed a tool you operate.
