StealthASF as a Zyte alternative
StealthASF publishes one base credit rate per mode, and it is the same on every website. Zyte API prices each website by a difficulty tier, from Tier 1 (Simple) to Tier 5 (Advanced), so the same kind of request can cost very different amounts from one site to the next.
| Feature | StealthASF | Zyte API |
|---|---|---|
| What sets the price | The mode you choose, same rate on every site | The website's difficulty tier, 1 to 5 |
| Browser-rendered request | 5 credits on any site | $1.01 to $16.08 per 1,000 pay as you go, by tier |
| Protected request | 25 credits on any site, 50 in Ultra mode | Priced by the site's tier |
| Protected pages | Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, PerimeterX, Kasada and more | Automatic ban handling |
StealthASF rates are base credits. Browser tiers include the first 1 MB of transfer, then add 10 credits per MB, and a solved CAPTCHA adds 25 credits. Vendor add-ons and taxes are excluded.
Why switch to StealthASF
A fixed rate per mode makes budgeting simple. Multiply the pages you plan to fetch by the base rate of the mode, 1, 5, 25 or 50 credits, and you have your starting budget, whichever sites are on your list. Auto mode starts with a plain request at 1 credit and steps up to protected mode only when a site blocks, and blocked requests are never charged.
When a site loads its data from its own JSON endpoint, StealthASF can find that endpoint and hand you the structured data instead of HTML to parse. Monthly plans start at EUR 15 / USD 17 for 70,000 credits. You can pay in EUR or USD, by card or crypto, and add one-time credit packs that stay valid for 12 months.
See StealthASF pricing and the Kasada guide for a first protected request.
