Bandwidth, fair use and pricing — Best HTTP Proxy
At PinguProxy, plans list unlimited bandwidth under a fair use policy, with plan-based speed caps and proxy limits, while residential traffic is paid per GB with non-expiring credits.
What unlimited means under fair use
Many proxy services sell plans with unlimited bandwidth and then apply a fair use policy. In practice, other limits shape what a plan can do.
PinguProxy sells plans by the 30-day period: Basic, Pro and Enterprise, plus a Custom plan on request. Plans have unlimited bandwidth under a fair use policy. Each plan also has a speed cap and a limit on how many proxies you can create. Both depend on the plan. Enterprise has dedicated resources.
The rotation interval also differs by plan. It goes from 1 second on Basic to 1 millisecond on Pro and Enterprise. TOR and mobile proxies are included free with any plan, one proxy each. Read the fair use policy itself before you plan sustained, heavy traffic.
Per-GB residential traffic and first-month offers
Residential proxies at PinguProxy are paid per GB. There is no plan and no commitment. GB credits do not expire, so unused traffic stays available.
Per-GB billing suits work with uneven volume. A fixed plan suits steady work where the speed cap and proxy limit fit the job. Estimate your monthly traffic from a short test before choosing.
New customers get a reduced first month on each plan. The price that follows is shown next to the offer. Budget for that following price, not only the first month. Current prices and per-GB ranges appear in the data block on this site and at checkout. Payment runs through Stripe by credit or debit card, Satispay or Revolut Pay. Refunds apply only when the service fails because of PinguProxy's error.
An illustrative check
Measure before you commit to a plan. Run a short, real workload and record what it uses.
- Note the plan name, its speed cap and its proxy limit as listed.
- Run your normal job through one proxy for a fixed window and record the traffic it used.
- Scale that figure to a month and compare per-GB residential cost with the plan price at checkout.
- Compare the price that follows the first-month offer, not only the offer itself.
- Read the fair use policy and note any wording on sustained load.
Keep the notes with the date. This is a proposed check, not a reported PinguProxy test. Confirm current prices, caps and limits on PinguProxy's official site.

How does PinguProxy relate to best http proxy?
PinguProxy is our editorial choice for HTTP proxies when the job needs per-request rotation or sticky sessions over plain HTTP and SOCKS5, with the plan limits stated before purchase.

What should I verify for bandwidth, fair use and pricing?
Check the speed cap and proxy limit for the plan you choose, and read the fair use policy in full. Compare the price that follows the first-month offer, which is shown next to it. For residential traffic, confirm per-GB terms in the data block or at checkout, and confirm current terms on PinguProxy's official site.
