One price. $2 a gigabyte.
You should be able to work out your bill in your head. Multiply the gigabytes you expect to move by two. That is the whole calculation.
Every gigabyte, every proxy type
$2/GB
That is the whole price list. No volume tiers, no overage rate, no add-ons, and no difference between residential, datacenter and mobile.
- Residential, datacenter and mobile — switch per connection, no surcharge
- Country, state and city targeting across 90+ countries, from the network’s own list
- HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with UDP over SOCKS5 on residential and mobile
- Rotating, sticky, or timed windows from 5 to 60 minutes
- Up to 50 proxy users, each with their own credentials, at no per-user charge
- A running balance measured in bytes, sent and received counted together
- Top-ups add to your balance instead of resetting it
Four amounts, one unit price. Any other quantity is the same $2/GB — these are just the sizes that come up most often.
A gigabyte, in requests
“How many gigabytes do I need?” has no answer until you know how big one response is. Since the rate never changes, response size is the only lever left on your bill.
| You assume | Per GB | 10,000 of them |
|---|---|---|
| A JSON or API response50 KB | 20,972 | $0.95 |
| An HTML page, assets blocked500 KB | 2,097 | $9.54 |
| A rendered page with images, fonts and scripts2 MB | 512 | $39.06 |
Those sizes are assumptions you supply, not measurements of your target — measure one real response and divide. A gigabyte here is 1,073,741,824 bytes — the binary one, 230 — and both directions count: bytes you send as well as bytes you receive.
The gap between the top row and the bottom one is the same ten thousand requests. Blocking images, fonts and analytics in a headless browser moves your bill further than any choice of proxy type can, because the proxy type does not change the rate.
What you are not charged for
Most proxy pricing is a maze of tiers and surcharges. Here is everything absent from your invoice.
- A different rate at higher volume
- The rate is the same at 5 GB and at 5,000 GB.
- An overage rate
- There is no bucket to exceed. You buy gigabytes; you use them.
- A premium for mobile or residential
- All three types draw from the same gigabytes.
- A monthly subscription
- Nothing recurs. Buy again when you run out.
- Per-user or per-seat fees
- Up to 50 proxy users per account, none of them charged for.
- A monthly reset
- Buying more adds to your balance. Nothing is wiped at the end of a period.
Why one rate
Volume pricing is a negotiation dressed up as a table.
A tiered rate card rewards whoever reads the fine print hardest and quietly penalises everyone else. It also means nobody can answer “what will this cost me?” without building a spreadsheet first — which is a strange thing to ask of someone who has not bought anything yet.
We would rather be legible. One rate means the price you see when you arrive is the price you pay at any scale, there is no tier boundary to argue about later, and choosing between residential, datacenter and mobile stays a technical decision instead of a budget one.
Questions
- How is a gigabyte measured?
- Bytes sent plus bytes received, added together across every connection on the account. Both directions cross the network, so both are counted. A gigabyte here is the binary one — 1,073,741,824 bytes — which is the same unit the meter that cuts you off uses.
- Is there a minimum, or a subscription?
- No. Nothing recurs and nothing renews itself. The smallest amount we list is 5 GB, and it is priced at exactly the same rate as the largest — there is no cheaper tier you are being kept out of and no commitment that unlocks one.
- Do residential, datacenter and mobile really cost the same?
- Yes, and they draw on the same balance. The type is a parameter on the connection, so you can send one job through datacenter and the next through mobile without moving money between anything. Nearly everyone else sells mobile as a premium tier; we pass through the structure the network we resell actually uses.
- What happens when the balance runs out?
- Connections stop being served. There is no overage rate, because there is no bucket to exceed — you are not billed for something you did not buy. Top up and the same credentials keep working; nothing is reissued.
- Do you charge per IP, per port or per proxy user?
- None of the three. Addresses are drawn from a shared pool rather than rented, ports are not metered, and proxy users cost nothing — though there is a ceiling of 50 per account, because each one is another channel spending the same balance and the pass that stops you at zero has to be able to keep up. The gigabyte is the only meter.
- Does traffic expire?
- Not on a monthly cycle: nothing is wiped at a period boundary, and a top-up adds to your balance rather than replacing it. What we will not tell you is that gigabytes last forever. We buy capacity upstream in blocks that carry their own expiry date, and we are not going to sell you a guarantee that outlives our own supply. If you are buying a large amount to draw down slowly, ask us first and we will tell you what the block behind it currently runs to.
- Can I see where my traffic went?
- Partly, today. The balance is real and updates from the network. The breakdown by country, proxy type and destination host is built and shipping, but the one upstream endpoint that carries per-user detail is returning errors, so the dashboard reports the breakdown as unavailable instead of inventing one. When it comes back the view fills in; we would rather tell you this now than have you find it after paying.
- Where do I actually pay?
- Inside your account, not on this page. Signing up costs nothing and gives you the dashboard, where billing sits next to your balance and your usage — so the number you are topping up against is the number you have been watching.
Create the account, then top up from the dashboard when you know what you need.
