How much does 500 GB of residential proxy traffic cost?
For 500 GB a month, the cheapest option today is an Unlimited Bandwidth monthly plan at $202.71. That is $937.29 less than paying the typical per-GB market price ($1,140.00).
Why can a time-based plan cost less than paying per GB?
Unlimited Bandwidth is priced by speed and time, not data. At 25 Mbps a run moves about 11.3 GB an hour, so a job that keeps the line busy pays for time it uses fully. Light or irregular jobs leave time unused, which is when traffic packs cost less.
