Zyte alternative: ReefAPI vs Zyte

$0.67–$1.50 / 1,000 credits on monthly billing, or $0.33–$0.75 / 1,000 credits paid yearly (−50%). Credits roll over and never expire, and every engine draws from the same balance. Failed calls are free except verified SHEIN NOT_FOUND on product/detail and price (4 credits). Credits are not requests: measured across 1,124 catalog actions on 2026-08-25, 67% cost one credit, 18% cost two and 5% cost three.

Not charged. Their page states "You are only charged for successful responses. Rate-limiting and unsuccessful responses are free." ReefAPI also leaves operational failures free; verified SHEIN NOT_FOUND on product/detail and price costs 4 credits. They also publish no overage penalty: exceeding your commitment is charged at your existing discounted rate.

The United Kingdom site refused us on both attempts, and neither call was charged

Two separate calls to the UK site, each about half a minute, both came back TARGET_BLOCKED. The US, German, Indian and Japanese sites all answered in one to two seconds the same afternoon. The country list has sixty-odd entries and we measured five of them. Two things follow: measure the country you actually need before you commit to it, and note that a blocked call cost nothing — which is why our per-call price does not move with how hard the target is.

A reported total is not a reachable total, and we print the ceiling

One popular query reported between 175,556 and 193,895 gigs, the number moving across four calls in the same afternoon — which is how you know it is an estimate rather than a count. Paging told a different story: offset 0 with limit 96 returned 96 rows, offset 96 returned 14 more, and offsets 192, 288, 384 and 456 each returned zero with stop_reason page_cap. About 110 rows are reachable per query against a claimed 190,000. Treat each query as a sample of roughly a hundred and get breadth from more queries, not deeper paging.

Zillow will tell you a home sold and when, but not for how much

Against us, and the first thing anyone building comps will check. status=sold returned 41 rows in Austin and 41 in Seattle with sold_date on every one and sold_price_usd null on every one. Opening those zpids with property_detail did not rescue it: list price came back 0, last_sold_price_usd null, price_history an empty array. For the figure, use another source — Redfin's sold search returned a price on every row in the same city, and we say so on our own page rather than letting you discover it.
