Worked budget: 10 country-specific shared ISP IPs for a month. On the cheap isp proxies: static ips that look residential line that comes to $17.40 at list price. This is an illustration from your own assumptions, not a measurement of any workload.
Why location changes the price you see
Currency, taxes, bundled offers and which sellers are shown can all depend on the visitor’s country. A check from the wrong country measures the wrong price.
Per IP, not per GB
Fare pages are heavy, with scripts and images, so a metered line can cost more than expected. Per-IP lines charge for the address and term, and the shared plan includes a traffic allowance. Measure a page’s weight first with the GB estimation guide.
Mind the site’s terms
Booking sites often forbid automated access in their terms, and aggressive polling gets addresses blocked. Read the terms and keep request rates low. See our acceptable-use policy.
