Is there a residential proxy free trial?

A free trial is available on residential proxy plans. Trial credits are applied to the account immediately on registration. No credit card is required.

What is the difference between residential proxies and unlimited residential proxies?

Residential proxies use per-gigabyte billing, which suits variable or unpredictable workloads. use flat-rate monthly plans with no bandwidth cap, which suits continuous automation, long-running scraping, and high-frequency data collection where per-GB billing creates cost uncertainty.

What does unlimited bandwidth mean for residential proxies?

Unlimited bandwidth residential proxies remove the per-GB billing model entirely. Traffic is routed through the full proxy network with no data cap applied to the connection. There is no throttling based on consumption volume. Session behavior remains the same as standard plans: rotating sessions cycle IPs automatically, and static sessions hold a single IP for the configured duration. The only difference is that billing is decoupled from data transfer.

What are unmetered residential proxies?

and unlimited bandwidth residential proxies refer to the same product. Both terms describe flat-rate plans where data transfer is not measured, capped, or billed by volume. The terms are used interchangeably across the proxy industry.

What is a rotating proxy with unlimited bandwidth?

A rotating proxy with unlimited bandwidth automatically cycles IP addresses on each request or at a set interval, with no restriction on data volume. This combination suits continuous scraping operations where both IP diversity and unrestricted throughput are required. at CatProxies operate as rotating proxies by default, with static session options also available.

How does per-GB pricing work?

Per-GB plans charge based on the volume of data transferred through the proxy network. You purchase a set amount of bandwidth and use it at your own pace. Residential and mobile proxies use this billing model. Datacenter and IPv6 proxies use daily pricing.

Which plan is best for high-volume scraping?

are best suited for high-volume, continuous scraping where bandwidth consumption is unpredictable or consistently high. For lower-volume or intermittent scraping, offer more control over cost. are an option for high-volume tasks on targets with low detection sensitivity.

Why are residential proxies more expensive than datacenter proxies?

route traffic through real IPs assigned to physical devices by internet providers, which makes the traffic appear as a regular household connection. Acquiring and maintaining access to these IPs costs significantly more than provisioning server-based datacenter IPs. The tradeoff is detection resistance: residential IPs are far less likely to be flagged or blocked by target websites, which makes them necessary for scraping, automation, and account management on platforms with strict anti-bot systems. cost less per unit but are easier for websites to identify and restrict.
