Cheap rotating proxies for jobs that need a fresh IP each time
A rotating proxy hands you a different exit IP across requests, so no single address carries the load. Here that means the residential line, billed by the gigabyte.

Rotating or static: pick by the target, not the price
Rotation protects you from per-IP rate limits. If a site allows a few hundred requests per address and you need ten thousand pages, spreading those requests across many addresses is the point. If instead you need to stay logged in as one user for an hour, a rotating pool works against you and a static IP is the right tool.
What it costs
Rotating residential traffic is $5.50 per GB for a one-gigabyte order and $1.75 per GB at 1,000 GB. There is no per-IP charge, so ten thousand different addresses cost the same as ten if the bytes are the same.
If the job does not need a fresh IP every request, a static line can be cheaper. A shared datacenter IP starts at $1.25 per month.
Keep the bill down
Rotating pools bill for every byte, retries included. Most savings come from fetching less, not from a lower rate.
- Request the JSON endpoint a page uses instead of the full HTML where one exists.
- Block images, fonts and video in your browser automation.
- Back off on 429 responses instead of retrying immediately.
- Measure a hundred pages first, then multiply, before you buy a large volume.
Frequently asked questions
How often does the IP change?
Rotation behaviour is chosen when you generate your proxy credentials. Check the documentation for the session options available on your order.
Is a rotating proxy cheaper than a static one?
It depends on volume. Light traffic across many addresses favours rotating by the GB. A steady workload on a few addresses is usually cheaper on a per-IP line, starting at $1.25 per IP per month on shared datacenter.
Do you charge for failed requests?
Billing is by traffic. Bytes that cross the network count whatever the response status, so design retries with that in mind.
