StealthASF as a ZenRows alternative
This comparison uses StealthASF protected mode and ZenRows JavaScript rendering with premium proxies. Both have a base rate of 25 credits per request. The included credits and monthly prices determine the amortised cost.
| Plan level | StealthASF | ZenRows |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Hobby: €15 / $17 per month 70,000 credits 25 credits per protected request ≈ €0.005357 / $0.006071 per request | Build: $16 per month 45,000 credits 25 credits per protected request ≈ $0.008889 per request |
| Mid | Pro: €45 / $49 per month 250,000 credits 25 credits per protected request ≈ €0.004500 / $0.004900 per request | Launch: $58 per month 250,000 credits 25 credits per protected request ≈ $0.005800 per request |
Calculation: monthly price × credits per request ÷ included credits. These are rounded, amortised base costs assuming the full allowance is used on that request type, not pay-as-you-go prices or measured success rates. Plan levels are different sizes.
For StealthASF, these figures assume no more than 1 MB of transfer per protected request and no solved CAPTCHA. Additional bandwidth and solved CAPTCHAs cost credits. Vendor add-ons and taxes are excluded. Compare the credits actually spent for your workload before choosing.

| Feature | StealthASF | ZenRows |

| Credits for about USD 50-60 a month | 250,000 (Pro, USD 49) | 250,000 (Launch, USD 58) |

Why switch to StealthASF
The same 250,000 credits cost USD 49 instead of USD 58, and a protected page is 25 credits on both, so every protected request is cheaper. Auto mode starts with the cheapest path and only steps up to a browser when a site blocks, and blocked requests are never charged. You can pay in EUR or USD, by card or crypto, and get the site's internal API back as clean JSON when one exists.
See StealthASF pricing and the JavaScript guide to evaluate the API.
