Calculate for your task
Recommended for web scraping. Rotating residential IPs give the highest success rate on large public sites. If you scrape fewer than a few million pages a month, a ready scraping API can cost less than your own proxies plus a parser
Prices from each provider's own pricing page, checked weekly. Totals are list prices before taxes and coupons. Affiliate links, the order is by price only
How much traffic do I need?
Multiply the number of pages you load by the average weight of one page. A rough guide, our estimates, measure your own pages to be sure:
- HTML only, images blocked: about 0.1 to 0.3 MB a page. 100,000 product pages a month is roughly 10 to 30 GB
- Full page in a headless browser with images and scripts: about 1.5 to 3 MB a page. The same 100,000 pages become 150 to 300 GB
- JSON from a site's own API: often under 50 KB a request, the cheapest way to collect the same data
Blocking images, fonts and video in your scraper usually cuts traffic, and the proxy bill, several times over

You need IPs in the exact country and city where the campaign runs. Volume is usually small, so pay-as-you-go plans often win
SEO rank tracking
Search results differ by location; residential IPs return the results a real user in that country sees
Collecting data for AI
Large public-web datasets mean high volume, so the price per GB on big plans matters more than the entry price
