Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from teams considering HasData for production scraping.
HasData gives 1,000 credits every month with no card required, and the allowance renews on the same date each month. Unused credits do not carry over. ZenRows gives a $1 trial allowance for 14 days, which covers about 40 protected pages, and excludes Residential Proxies.
Yes. Start with 1,000 free credits and run HasData against the exact sites you scrape today. For larger stress tests, contact us. We can extend the trial to match your current ZenRows plan so you can benchmark at real volume before moving.
Entry pricing favors HasData at $59 for 200,000 credits versus $69.99 for ZenRows' smallest plan. The gap widens on protected sites. $59 buys about 13,000 anti-bot requests on HasData, while ZenRows' $69.99 Developer tier includes 10,000 protected results. Structured Google data costs 5 to 10 credits on HasData. ZenRows charges its full 25× protected rate for raw Google HTML.
Yes. The request shape is similar. js_render maps to HasData's JS rendering flag, premium_proxy to residential proxies, and proxy_country to country targeting. Named endpoints like Google SERP API, Amazon API, and Google Maps API replace the HTML parsing you wrote on top of ZenRows responses.
You don't pay for it. HasData retries on its own, detects common anti-bot challenges during the scrape, and marks blocked requests as failures. ZenRows charged for autoparse responses that contained no data in our tests.
Yes. Public plans reach 20M credits a month and 500 concurrent requests, and custom plans scale beyond that. ZenRows tops out at 400 concurrent on its $2,999.99/mo Business 3K tier.
If you hit volume or concurrency limits, contact support via live chat or at info@hasdata.com. The team can configure a custom plan with credits, concurrency, and rate limits matched to your workload.
Yes. Share the website URL and the exact fields you need, and our team will scope and build the scraper. ZenRows states it does not offer custom coding, you build your own solution on top of their tools.
