Where proxies fit into the work
A young company needs research and testing capacity without signing up to commitments it may outgrow or drop. Proxies here are bought order by order, with no contract or minimum spend, so a founder can validate a market, collect publicly available data or test geo-specific features this month and spend more only when the work grows.
Most startups begin with low-cost datacenter proxies and add residential proxies once they need a true local view. Price the first order with the proxy calculator, and keep all collection within each site's terms of service and applicable law.
Typical jobs

What changes for the team
Checked from the office, every page, ad or service answers as it would for one location, while people elsewhere are often shown something different. Running the same checks from the markets that matter, in 55+ countries and within each site's terms of service and applicable law, gives results that match what people there actually get.
Nothing to sign while you test
Per-GB pricing from $3.50, with no contract or minimum spend, keeps experiments inexpensive to start and easy to stop.
Running within minutes
Delivery is instant, so a founder or the first engineer can be running checks a few minutes after paying.
Spend that follows growth
Order a little during validation and more as traffic, customers and headcount grow, with nothing to renegotiate.
Separate orders per job
Research, QA and market checks can each run on their own order, all managed from the same account and dashboard.
Which plan covers which job
Each type is ordered on its own and billed per GB, with no contract, setup fee or minimum spend, so one account can hold several types at once. Types marked as recommended are where this kind of work usually starts.
| Workflow | Suggested plan | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| First market research and public data collection | Datacenter from $3.50/GB | Its per-GB rate sits below the other types, which keeps early experiments inexpensive. |
| Checking the product as customers in a target market see it | Residential from $3.99/GB | Household connections show local prices, language and content the way a customer gets them. |
| Testing a mobile-first product | Mobile 4G/5G from $4.50/GB | Carrier IPs reproduce what users on 4G/5G networks receive. |
All four types side by side
Datacenter
RecommendedCosts less per GB than the other three types. Suits frequent, high-volume work on public pages, such as price checks, rank tracking and catalogue monitoring.

RecommendedHousehold connections, so sites load as local customers see them. The usual choice for ad checks, market research and reviews of localised content.
Learn more →Mobile 4G/5G
IPs on 4G/5G carrier networks, for reviewing mobile ads, app content and anything that changes on a phone connection.
Learn more →Residential Premium
A higher-grade residential pool for brand protection and research on demanding sites, where a better success rate is worth the higher rate.

How a team gets set up
Three steps cover the path from first order to first useful check. The proxies use standard protocols, so they work in the browsers, SEO and monitoring tools and scripts your team already runs.
-
1
Size the first order
Estimate the gigabytes with the proxy calculator, then choose the type and amount on the buy page and pay by card or crypto.
-
2
Configure the plan
In the dashboard, pick password or IP-whitelist sign-in, the countries to use, rotating or sticky sessions and the protocol, then add the details to your tools.
-
3
Check, then roll out
Confirm the exit IP and location with the free network tools before the team relies on it. Agencies reselling access can automate client plans through the reseller API.
Settings the team controls
| Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on every plan. |
|---|---|
| Sign-in | Username and password for people who move between machines, or an IP whitelist for office and server addresses. |
| Sessions | Rotating IPs for broad sampling of public data, or sticky sessions that hold one address through a multi-step task. |
| Locations | 55+ countries, city-level options in key regions, and both desktop and mobile vantage points. Browse all locations → |
Rules your team works within
Proxies are a tool for legitimate research, verification and testing, and whoever runs the work stays responsible for the rules that apply to it.
Public data only
Use the network for publicly available information and compliant automation, inside each site's terms of service and the law that applies to you. A proxy gives no access to private or restricted content.
No traffic logs
We keep no logs of your traffic, and access is limited to your credentials or whitelisted IPs, which makes it easier to fit proxy use into your own data-handling policy.
No promises about platform outcomes
A proxy changes where requests come from, for legitimate checks and research. It cannot promise any result on an account or platform, and each platform's own terms always apply.
Playbooks for related workflows
Platform notes and setup advice for neighbouring tasks, plus plain-language guides for colleagues who are new to proxies.
