PROXY PROVIDER COMPARISON

NetNutvs Zyte

NetNut offers a quoted raw proxy route and a separate Unblocker API returning rendered HTML. Zyte API takes target URLs and selects HTTP or browser access, with extraction and a separately gated CDP browser. For a blocked-page job, NetNut Unblocker and Zyte API are closer operational alternatives than NetNut proxy GB and Zyte request charges.

How you payThe current NetNut-branded pricing page says usage-based plans are quoted by product, volume and target, with monthly packages and volume discounts. Its Unblocker API page describes success-based charging; no public numeric entry rate or self-service minimum was shown.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 workThe current site describes username/password or IP-whitelist authentication for HTTP(S)/SOCKS5 rotating and sticky proxy sessions. It separately describes an authenticated Unblocker API request that accepts a URL and returns rendered HTML.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 jobObtain a written quote for the exact proxy or API product and target volume; no current public minimum can be compared to self-service GB prices.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 workflowAsk for a live trial of the rotating or static proxy gateway in your own browser and confirm current service availability before committing.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 agentUse a proxy-capable MCP tool you control or evaluate the quoted managed API; a branded AI-data page is not documentation for a native MCP server.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 workloadValidate current network access, sourcing and account terms with a small workload before relying on a volume commitment or dedicated pool.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 older netnut.io domain displays a seizure notice; verify the current account, service, sourcing and domain before purchase.
  • The newer site publishes no numeric entry SKU, and its success/performance figures are provider claims rather than independently measured results.
  • 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

Price a defined HTML retrieval task

Send NetNut the target list, location and volume for an Unblocker quote, then inspect returned HTML on a small sample. Submit the same URLs to Zyte API using HTTP first and browser HTML only where necessary. Judge whether each response contains the fields your downstream parser needs. A NetNut raw residential gateway remains useful if your application must own cookies, browser actions or retry logic; keep that as a distinct cost line.

NetNut describes Unblocker as success-charged but gives no public numeric minimum. Zyte bills successful requests by target tier and HTTP versus browser mode, with extraction and forced residential potentially adding charges. Zyte's live CDP browser needs separate eligibility and uses navigation/time billing. Neither reviewed source verifies a generally hosted first-party MCP endpoint; Zyte documents a build-your-own route, and NetNut can supply a gateway to a buyer-run tool.

you choose

Is NetNut or Zyte cheaper?

NetNut starts at Quote on request (no public entry price), 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.

What is the main difference between NetNut and Zyte?

Compare usable output and required integration work under each API contract. NetNut: Unblocker API. Zyte: Zyte API.

Can I test ProxyLane before switching?

Yes. The 350 MB trial costs $1.95 and runs on the same residential network as paid packages. Unused traffic never expires.

Which targeting and sessions does ProxyLane support?

Country, region, city, ZIP, ISP and ASN targeting across 195 countries. Sessions can rotate on every request or stay sticky from 1 second to 72 hours, over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5.

Does ProxyLane offer a managed scraping API?

No. ProxyLane is a residential proxy network for the client, scraper or browser you already run. Your team keeps control of fetching, rendering and parsing.

STILL DECIDING?
