How Proxy Bandwidth & Per-IP Pricing Models Work
1. Pay-As-You-Go Bandwidth (Per-GB)
Used primarily for Residential and Mobile proxy pools. Providers such as 2Captcha Proxy ($3.99/GB base, scaling down to $1.25/GB at 10 TB), Decodo ($4.00/GB PAYG), Oxylabs ($8.00/GB PAYG), and Bright Data ($8.40/GB PAYG) meter consumption by gigabyte transferred without requiring a fixed monthly subscription.
2. Monthly Bandwidth Subscriptions
Providers like SOAX structure pricing around recurring monthly bandwidth tiers (starting at $90/month for 25 GB at $3.60/GB, scaling down to $2.00/GB on 800 GB Business plans). If your monthly traffic is below 25 GB, the $90.00 monthly plan floor still applies.
3. Per-IP Leases vs Per-GB Rates
Datacenter and Static ISP proxies are frequently sold per static IP address (Webshare from ~$0.05/IP; Bright Data from $0.60/IP; Oxylabs from $1.20/IP). Because per-IP leases depend on IP count rather than gigabytes alone, this calculator never mixes per-IP and per-GB prices and marks unitemized per-GB rates as Not available.
