Get your first proxy working, from $2.49/GB

A proxy routes your requests through an intermediary IP so the target site sees the proxy address rather than your own. The four Budget Proxies tiers differ mainly in where those IPs come from, which changes both cost and how a site perceives the traffic.

• Centro de dados IPs live in cloud and hosting facilities. They are fast and the cheapest at $2.49/GB, but easiest to identify as non-residential.
• Residencial IPs belong to real home connections via consenting ISPs, so traffic leaves from an ordinary household line, at $3.98/GB.
• Mobile IPs come from 4G/5G carrier networks at $4.98/GB and carry the strongest trust signals.
• Residential premium at $6.99/GB draws from a cleaner, less-used pool for the most demanding targets.

See each pool in detail on the datacenter e residencial pages.

Instead of buying a monthly seat or a fixed number of ports, you buy a balance of gigabytes and draw it down as you browse. Every byte of upstream and downstream traffic that passes through the proxy counts toward your balance, and the meter only moves when you send requests.

Each top-up carries a fixed 30-day validity window. Within that window you can spread usage across any tier, any country and any number of concurrent connections without extra charges. There are no port fees, no per-thread pricing and no auto-renewing subscription.

This model rewards efficient scripts. A scraper that requests only the HTML it needs, skips images and compresses responses will stretch a gigabyte much further than one that loads full pages. Because the rate is fixed per tier, your spend is predictable: multiply expected gigabytes by the tier rate. Review live rates on the preços page before you commit a budget.

The cheapest tier that reliably completes your task is usually the right one. Start low and only move up if the lower tier does not do the job.

For research-style data gathering, our proxies para scraping guide maps common sites to tiers. Always confirm a target's terms permit automated access first; tiering reduces friction but never licenses activity that a site forbids.

After a top-up, your dashboard generates credentials instantly. Setup follows the same pattern across all four tiers.

1. Pick an authentication method: username-password works anywhere, while IP-whitelisting suits fixed servers.
2. Choose a protocol: HTTP/HTTPS for browsers and most libraries, or SOCKS5 for lower-level tools and non-HTTP traffic.
3. Select segmentação geográfica by appending a country or city to the username, or leave it global for the widest pool.
4. Decide on rotação: a rotating endpoint gives a fresh IP per request, a sticky session holds one for minutes.

Paste the resulting host, port and credentials into your client and send a test request to our IP checker to confirm the exit address and country. If the displayed IP matches your target location, you are ready to scale up.

All tiers speak HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, and the right choice depends on your client and traffic type.

HTTP and HTTPS proxies understand web requests, which lets them handle headers and connection reuse cleanly. They are the default for browsers, headless automation and libraries like requests or axios. HTTPS here refers to proxying TLS-encrypted traffic via CONNECT tunnelling, so your payload stays encrypted end to end.

SOCKS5 operates at a lower level and forwards raw TCP and UDP without inspecting the protocol. That makes it ideal for non-web traffic, custom clients, peer-to-peer tooling and any case where you want the proxy to stay protocol-agnostic. It also supports DNS resolution at the exit, avoiding local DNS leaks.

If you are unsure, start with HTTPS for web work and switch to SOCKS5 only when a tool requires it. Compare the two in depth on our SOCKS5 e HTTPS pages.

Rotation controls how often your exit IP changes, and the right mode depends on whether the target expects a stable identity.

Rotating endpoints assign a new IP on every request (or every few requests). This spreads load across the pool and suits broad data collection where each request stands alone, such as fetching thousands of product listings.

Sticky sessions pin one IP for a configurable duration, typically up to ten or thirty minutes. Use these whenever a workflow spans multiple steps under one identity, including logins, multi-page forms, carts and any flow that sets cookies you must keep consistent.

A common pattern is sticky for the authenticated portion of a task, then rotating for bulk reads. You set the mode per request via the endpoint or username suffix, so a single balance covers both. Read more on rotating proxies e static sessions to match the cadence to your tooling.

Every tier lets you pin traffic to a specific country, and most support city-level targeting too, so you can see exactly what a local user would. This matters for price comparison, localisation testing, ad verification and checking regional availability.

You target a location by adding a country code, and optionally a city, to your proxy username, for example a UK or US suffix. The endpoint then routes you through the matching pool. Leaving the suffix off draws from the global pool for maximum IP diversity.

Coverage spans 55+ countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia and beyond, with the deepest residential and mobile pools in high-demand markets. Datacenter coverage is broad but concentrated in major hosting regions. Always verify your exit location with the IP checker before a run, since a mismatched country will skew localised data. Full country and city availability is listed on the locations page.

Raw speed and home-network trust pull in opposite directions, so each tier balances them differently. Datacenter proxies are the fastest because the IPs sit in well-connected facilities with short network paths, making them ideal where milliseconds matter, such as rank tracking or internal load testing.

Residential and mobile traffic travels over real consumer and carrier links, so latency is naturally higher and more variable. Mobile in particular can fluctuate with cell congestion. The trade-off is worthwhile when a target inspects IP reputation, because speed is useless if requests get blocked.

To maximise throughput on any tier, reuse connections, run sensible concurrency rather than hammering a single IP, and request only the data you need. Our 99.9% uptime means the bottleneck is usually the target site, not the proxy. If a job is latency-sensitive yet still needs residential trust, the premium pool offers cleaner, more responsive IPs than the standard residential tier.

Sites assess incoming traffic on more than the IP, but the IP's origin is the strongest single signal. Datacenter ranges are published and widely catalogued, so security systems flag them quickly. Residential and mobile IPs map to consumer ISPs and carriers, so they carry the everyday trust those networks earn.

The proxy only changes your apparent network identity. Browser fingerprints, request headers, cookies and behavioural timing all still matter, and a proxy does not change a site's rules or the way it detects automated traffic. Budget Proxies keeps no activity logs, so your usage is not retained or shared.

Anonymity is a tool for legitimate privacy and research, not a licence to bypass protections a site has deliberately put in place. We cannot and do not guarantee that any tier will evade a specific site's defences; reputable IPs simply reduce friction for permitted, terms-compliant access. Choose the lowest tier that meets your need and move up only when the task genuinely requires it.

The four rates reflect how scarce and trusted each pool is. Putting them side by side shows where the value lies for a given task.

Because billing is per gigabyte with a fixed 30-day window, cost scales with data, not seats or threads. A lean script on residential often beats a wasteful one on premium for total spend. Estimate gigabytes first, then pick the cheapest tier that completes the job. The preços page has the live figures and top-up options.

The three core networks suit different jobs, and knowing their trade-offs prevents overspending on trust you do not need.

Centro de dados wins on speed and price but is the easiest to identify as non-residential, so it shines on permissive or self-owned targets. Residencial sits in the middle: real home IPs give strong trust for a modest premium, making it the everyday choice for public-web data. Mobile tops the trust ladder because carriers rotate IPs among many subscribers via CGNAT, so a single address is shared by many ordinary users, which suits app-only ecosystems.

Latency rises as you move from datacenter to residential to mobile, while trust rises in the same direction. The practical rule is to start cheap and only climb when the lower tier does not do the job. Because all three share one balance and dashboard, you can test which performs best on your target without separate contracts. Compare them at datacenter, residencial e celular.

Scaling well is mostly about discipline, not raw IP count. As volume grows, these habits keep success rates high and costs predictable.

• Spread load: use rotation for bulk reads so no single IP carries a heavy request spike.
• Pace requests: keep a steady, modest rate and respect any rate guidance a site publishes; aggressive bursts strain a site regardless of tier.
• Cache and dedupe: avoid re-fetching unchanged pages to save gigabytes and reduce footprint.
• Match geography: target the country your data actually needs rather than the global pool.
• Retry sensibly: back off on failures instead of retrying instantly with the same IP.

Monitor your dashboard for data burn and success rates, and split large jobs into smaller batches so a problem on one target does not drain your whole balance. With a fixed per-GB rate, efficiency directly lowers spend. For research workloads, the scraping guide covers concurrency tuning in more depth.

Proxies are legitimate infrastructure for privacy, testing and lawful data collection, but responsible use is your obligation. Before any project, confirm that the target site's terms of service permit your activity and that applicable laws, including data-protection rules, are respected.

Budget Proxies operates a no-logs policy, so we do not retain records of the sites you visit. We support secure authentication via username-password or IP-whitelisting, and HTTPS and SOCKS5 keep your payloads encrypted in transit. Keep credentials private and rotate them if you suspect exposure.

We do not condone using proxies to access systems without authorisation, to harvest personal data unlawfully, or to circumvent protections a site has intentionally erected. Nothing here guarantees evasion of bans or blocks; choosing a trusted tier only reduces friction for access that is already permitted. Used within these bounds, proxies are a safe and standard part of modern web operations. See our Perguntas frequentes for policy details.

Seeing how the tiers combine in practice makes the choice concrete. Here are three common patterns built on one Budget Proxies balance.

Localised price monitoring: use residential proxies with country and city targeting to capture region-specific pricing, scheduling runs across markets and verifying each exit with the IP checker.

Search and SEO checks: lean on fast datacenter IPs for high-volume rank and SERP snapshots where the targets tolerate non-residential traffic, keeping per-GB cost minimal.

App ecosystem testing: route mobile-only flows through the mobile tier so carrier-gated content behaves as it would for a real handset, using sticky sessions to preserve logins.

Each workflow mixes rotation modes and geos as needed, all billed from the same gigabyte pool. Start with a small top-up to validate a workflow end to end, then scale the gigabytes once your success rate is solid. Pricing for every tier is on the preços page.
