datawebot is a good Zyte alternative when you want a fixed credit price that does not depend on the site, every seller's price for a product, and tools built for agents. Zyte is the better fit when you read product pages from any website, or already run Scrapy spiders.

## When Zyte is the better fit

- You need product data from sites datawebot does not cover.
- You already run Scrapy spiders and want them hosted and unblocked in one place.
- Your volume is high and steady, so committed rates matter more than a fixed price per request.

## When datawebot is the better fit

- You want a price per request you know before you run it, the same on every store.
- Your agent should search products across shops and compare every seller's price for one product.
- Your volume is small or irregular, and you prefer credits you buy once and can use over 6 months.

## Run a fair test

1. Pick three products you track and one store search page you care about.
2. Write down the fields you need: price, currency, availability, seller and variant.
3. Ask each tool for the same products and pages, and compare completeness, how much clean-up the output needs, and the cost per useful record.
