## Things to know
- Price depends on a website difficulty tier (1-5) that Zyte assigns per website and request type; users cannot know it without Zyte's estimator. The cost engine maps anti-bot level to an assumed tier range and labels it an assumption.
- Commitment plans bill max(commitment, usage) and stop at the spending limit; above $2,500/month requires Enterprise.
- Any target response that is not a ban counts as successful and is billed, whatever its HTTP status (e.g. 404); ban, rate-limiting and error responses are free.
- The $350 commitment level (48% discount) is documented but its per-tier rates are not published.
- No concurrency cap; throughput is limited to 3,000 requests/minute on standard plans.
- Extended geolocation, actions and network captures carry extra, unpublished usage-based costs.
