 "summary": "Proxy infrastructure and scraping stack — residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter proxies plus SERP/web-scraper APIs, priced per GB, IP or 1K requests.",
 "best_for": "data teams scraping at scale — price intelligence, SERP tracking, AI-training data — who want proxy infrastructure plus ready-made scraping APIs at aggressive per-unit rates",
 "skip_if": "you need predictable flat pricing, or your use case skirts site terms — residential proxying carries compliance questions no discount fixes",
 "honest_knock": "Everything is a meter — per GB, per IP, per 1K responses — so the bill scales with usage. And every rate the site advertises is the largest package on its ladder: $0.65 a GB means buying 5,000 GB, while 1 GB of the same product costs $2.00. Budget at your own volume, not at the headline. Plus the category-wide caveat we'd give any residential-proxy vendor: those '100M+ real residential IPs' come from consumer devices, so check sourcing ethics and your target sites' terms before building on it.",

  "notes": "(price re-verified 2026-09-23 against the vendor's own pricing page) (2026) Usage-metered, with free trials on the APIs. Every ladder is unchanged since 1 Sep 2026, and every advertised \"from\" rate is still the largest package on its ladder: residential $0.65/GB at 5,000 GB ($3,250) against $2.00/GB at 1 GB, $1.80 at 10 GB, $1.50 at 50 GB, $1.00 at 150 GB, $0.80 at 350 GB, $0.73 at 1,000 GB and $0.70 at 2,000 GB; mobile $2.20/GB at 500 GB against $5.00 at 1 GB; SERP API $0.70 per 1K at 1M responses against $1.20 at 15K; Web Scraper API $0.50 per 1K at 3M against $1.00 at 30K, with a 5,000-credit step the page's structured data prices at $0.00; the unblocker, now listed as \"Webpage\" (it was \"Web Unlocker\" on 1 Sep), $1.00 per 1K at 200K against $1.30 at 10K; Scraping Browser $2.50/GB at 500 GB against $5.00 at 1 GB. Static ISP and datacenter proxies advertise $0.75/IP against a $1.50 list, while the ISP packages themselves list at $1.50 and $4.50 an IP. New on the page: High Bandwidth Proxies sold by time, not volume -- 1 day $280, 7 days $900, 30 days $2,370, 60 days $4,140 -- with no bandwidth or IP count stated. The residential rows up to 350 GB carry struck 'original' prices ($2.85, $2.75, $1.95, $1.50, $1.70) that do not form a ladder: the struck price at 350 GB is higher than at 150 GB. The card grid lower on the page prints SERP at $0.80 per 1K while the menu and the ladder say $0.70. Refund policy: within 7 days of the first purchase of a product, only if no more than 30% of the package and no more than 2 GB has been used, not for crypto payments, and not once a bundle bought in the dashboard has started transmitting data; an expired package period is not refundable.",
