# perProxy vs perGB

Mobile Proxies come in two access models: **Per Proxy** and **Per GB**. (Residential is Per GB only.) This page explains the difference so you can pick the right one.

### Quick answer

* **Per Proxy:** gives you your own individually assigned proxies with full rotation control and a predictable monthly cost.
* **Per GB:** gives you usage-based access to the shared pool through Access Points, best for variable or large-scale work where you pay only for data.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The mobile **perProxy** proxies are pooled: each PerProxy proxy IP is dedicated to you the vast majority of the time, with a small chance of temporary sharing on congested locations. See [How Proxy Assignment Works on perProxy plans](/proxidize-proxies/mobile-proxies/mobile-per-proxy/how-proxy-assignment-works-on-per-proxy-plans.md).

### When to choose Per Proxy

Choose Per Proxy when you need predictable monthly costs and direct proxy control. You know your monthly expense upfront, rather than paying per GB as usage fluctuates. You also get a rotate button, scheduled rotation, and a rotation URL giving you full control over exactly when and how your IP changes.

### When to choose Per GB

Choose Per GB when your usage varies or you need to scale, and you'd rather subscribe to a data package than pay per proxy. You subscribe to a monthly data package (starting at 25 GB), create Access Points that all draw from that balance, and change the session key to pull a new IP. Need more data? Purchase an additional package.

Residential proxies also use the Per GB model.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.proxidize.com/proxidize-proxies/perproxy-vs-pergb.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
