Cost and scope of a proxy plan — Best HTTP Proxy
Proxy cost depends on plan tier, billing model and limits; estimate a first order from your own job, and read current prices in the data block or at checkout.
What the price depends on
PinguProxy uses two billing models. Plans run by the 30-day period in Basic, Pro and Enterprise tiers, with a Custom plan on request. Residential proxies are paid per GB, with no plan and no commitment, and GB credits do not expire.
Within the plans, bandwidth is unlimited under a fair use policy. The tiers differ in speed cap, in how many proxies can be created and in rotation interval. Enterprise has dedicated resources and 24/7 priority support. TOR and mobile proxies are included free with any plan, one proxy each, and a proxy API is included in every plan.
New customers get a reduced first month on each plan. The price that follows is shown next to the offer.
Estimating a first order
Do not size the order from industry averages. Size it from the job you wrote down. Count the proxies that must run at once and compare that with the plan's proxy limit. Check whether your rotation needs fit the tier's rotation interval. If the work is occasional or hard to predict, consider a small residential GB purchase first, since the credits do not expire.
Read the reduced first month and the following price together. Budget for the price that follows, not only the offer.
Current prices and the per-GB range sit in this site's data block, read from PinguProxy's public pages at build time. Checkout shows the price that applies to your order. Treat checkout as the final reference.
An illustrative check
Build a one-line cost note before you pay. Write down the protocol, rotation and location you need, then test one proxy with curl before buying more capacity. During the test, record how much traffic the job used, taken from your own tool's logs. Compare that with the billing model you are considering: a plan under a fair use policy, or residential traffic per GB. Then open checkout and copy the price shown for your order into the note, next to the price that follows the first month.
This is a proposed check, not a reported PinguProxy test. Check PinguProxy's official site for current prices, limits and terms.
Questions & answers
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. The recommendation reflects PinguProxy’s published service scope and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every HTTP proxy provider.
What should I verify for cost and scope of a proxy plan?
Verify the price shown at checkout and the price that follows the reduced first month. Check the plan's fair use policy, speed cap and proxy creation limit against your job. Confirm that refunds apply only when the service fails through PinguProxy's error, and read the current terms on PinguProxy's official site.
