perProxy vs perGB

Compare the Per Proxy and Per GB access models: dedicated proxies vs pay-as-you-go pool access to pick the right one.

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, best for per-account, long-running workflows.

  • 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.

Mobile proxies are pooled: each Per Proxy proxy 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.


When to choose Per Proxy

Choose Per Proxy when you want your own proxies that you control directly, with a rotate button, scheduled rotation, and a rotation URL, for workflows like social media and multi-account management. Note that mobile proxies are pooled: each is dedicated to you the vast majority of the time, with a small chance of temporary sharing on congested locations.

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 50 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.
