How much do ISP proxies cost? An ISP proxy is billed per address for a period of time, so the answer is a rate per address per month, multiplied by the number of addresses and the months in the term, and the rate itself falls as either of those grows. The useful version of the answer is therefore the arithmetic: which rate an order of a given size earns, what a longer term takes off, and which costs sit outside the rate card altogether.
This guide works through that arithmetic on our own ISP pricing. Every figure comes from that page's ladder and term discounts, at the rates published on 16 October 2026. If you read this later, the pricing page and the checkout in the dashboard are the authority, and the method still applies. We do not quote other vendors' prices or market ranges; what carries over to any vendor is the list of questions under what changes the real cost.
How ISP proxies are billed
ISP proxies, also sold as static residential proxies, are addresses leased from consumer internet providers and hosted on server hardware; our guide to static residential proxies explains the product. Because the resource is the address, the meter is the address too.
- The unit is one address for one month. The pricing page states every rate per IP per month.
- Traffic is not the meter. Traffic through an ISP address is unmetered at 100 Mbps per address. We may step in if usage interferes with other customers. A job that moves one gigabyte costs the same as one that moves a thousand.
- The term is chosen at checkout: 30, 60, 90 or 365 days. A term starts on delivery, when the addresses appear in your dashboard, not when you pay.
- The rate is earned by the quantity in one order. Twenty-five addresses ordered together earn a lower rate than the same twenty-five bought as five orders of five.
- Payment is prepaid from a wallet funded by card, PayPal or cryptocurrency, with no monthly minimum and nothing billed between orders. Volume customers can arrange invoicing through sales.
The quantity ladder and the term discounts
An order is billed at the rate of the largest rung at or below its quantity. A longer term then takes a further percentage off that rate: 5% for 60 days, 10% for 90 days and 20% for 365 days. The table applies both, rounded to the cent. Every cell is a rate per address per month, at the rates published on 16 October 2026 on the ISP pricing page.
| Addresses in the order | 30 days | 60 days (−5%) | 90 days (−10%) | 365 days (−20%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 4 | $3.20 | $3.04 | $2.88 | $2.56 |
| 5 to 9 | $2.94 | $2.79 | $2.65 | $2.35 |
| 10 to 24 | $2.66 | $2.53 | $2.39 | $2.13 |
| 25 to 49 | $2.40 | $2.28 | $2.16 | $1.92 |
| 50 to 99 | $2.14 | $2.03 | $1.93 | $1.71 |
| 100 to 249 | $1.89 | $1.80 | $1.70 | $1.51 |
| 250 to 499 | $1.70 | $1.62 | $1.53 | $1.36 |
| 500 to 5,000 | $1.50 | $1.43 | $1.35 | $1.20 |
Two readings of the table matter more than any single cell. The lowest rate on the card, $1.20, is the effective monthly rate for 500 or more addresses on a 365-day term. The headline "from $1.50" in the site menu and on the product pages is the 30-day rate at that volume, and the 365-day discount takes it to $1.50 × 0.80 = $1.20. Both figures need the 500 addresses in a single order, because the ladder rung applies per order. And the term discount is worth more than the first volume steps: one address on a 365-day term, at $2.56, costs less per month than ten addresses on 30 days, at $2.66.
When ordering more costs less
Because the rate drops at each rung, an order just below a rung can cost more in total than the rung itself. On a 30-day term:
| You need | Order instead | What you need would cost | The larger order costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23 or 24 | 25 | $61.18 or $63.84 | $60.00 |
| 45 to 49 | 50 | $108.00 to $117.60 | $107.00 |
| 89 to 99 | 100 | $190.46 to $211.86 | $189.00 |
| 225 to 249 | 250 | $425.25 to $470.61 | $425.00 |
| 442 to 499 | 500 | $751.40 to $848.30 | $750.00 |
Below 23 addresses the rungs sit close enough together that rounding up never pays: four addresses at $3.20 cost less than five at $2.94. On the longer terms the same thresholds hold to within one address. The extra addresses are not wasted, either; they are spares for the day one is flagged.
Three worked orders
Each order below is priced at the rates published on 16 October 2026, with the arithmetic shown. The calculator on the ISP pricing page shows the per-address rate for any quantity and term, and the checkout in the dashboard shows the exact total before you pay. Totals exclude tax.
A few addresses for 30 days
A developer testing one target needs four addresses for a month.
- Four is below the five-address rung, so all four bill at the single-address rate of $3.20.
- 4 × $3.20 = $12.80 for the 30-day term.
Rounding up to five would cost 5 × $2.94 = $14.70, so four is the right order. If the test needs less than a month, the paid seven-day trial is the smaller commitment; its price is shown at checkout rather than on the ladder.
A team batch on 90 days
A data team runs a collection job for a quarter on twenty-five addresses.
- Twenty-five reaches the 25-address rung: $2.40.
- The 90-day term takes 10% off: $2.40 × 0.90 = $2.16 per address per month.
- 25 × $2.16 = $54.00 a month, and the term is three months: $54.00 × 3 = $162.00, paid up front.
The same addresses on three consecutive 30-day orders at today's rate would come to 25 × $2.40 × 3 = $180.00. The term saves $18.00, and it fixes the rate for the quarter: an order is charged at the price published when you place it, and a later price change never affects it.
Two allowlisted addresses for a year
An integration that a partner has allowlisted needs two fixed egress addresses for a year.
- Two is below the five-address rung: $3.20.
- The 365-day term takes 20% off: $3.20 × 0.80 = $2.56 per address per month.
- 2 × $2.56 = $5.12 a month, and over the twelve months of the term, $5.12 × 12 = $61.44, paid up front.
Renewing the two addresses every 30 days at today's rate would cost 2 × $3.20 × 12 = $76.80 over the year. That figure can move in either direction, though, because an automatic renewal is charged at the price published when the renewal is made. The year term fixes the price and removes eleven renewal dates on which an allowlisted address could lapse. What it costs is commitment: a per-address term is not refundable once its addresses are delivered and working, whether or not you use them.
What changes the real cost
The rate card is the visible part. These terms decide what an address costs over its life, here and at any vendor.
Replacement and credits
An ISP address can be flagged by a target or relabelled by an IP-intelligence vendor, and a flagged address you keep paying for is a cost. Our published service level is replacement within 4 hours for any flagged address, with a pro-rata service credit plus 20% for any address below the 99.99% monthly availability target. Credits are claimed within 30 days after the end of the calendar month and paid to the wallet. The terms of service exclude some causes from service levels, including a destination's own conduct such as blocking, so treat the credit as compensation for availability rather than a refund for blocks. Proxy SLAs covers what to negotiate.
Minimum order and pack sizes
Our minimum is one address, with no monthly minimum. Where a vendor sells fixed packs, divide the pack's price by the number of addresses you will actually run; that, rather than the per-address figure printed on the pack, is the rate you pay.
How the month is counted
Our terms are counted in days from delivery. Orders do not renew unless you turn on automatic renewal for that order, and when an order ends without renewal its addresses stop working and may be reassigned to another customer. Elsewhere, ask whether "a month" means a calendar month or a fixed number of days, whether it starts at payment or at delivery, and whether renewal is on by default.
Bandwidth ceilings
Our ISP addresses run at 100 Mbps each, with traffic unmetered. At other vendors, check whether traffic is metered at all, whether an "unlimited" plan has a fair-use threshold and what happens past it, and whether the stated port speed applies per address or across your whole allocation.
Tax, prepayment and refunds
Published rates exclude tax; where VAT, GST or sales tax applies, it is added to the amount charged. Billing is prepaid, so there is no overage to reconcile, and unused wallet balance is refundable to where it came from. Delivered per-address terms are not, which is why the lower rate of a long term is paid for in commitment. The refund policy has the detail.
Questions to ask any vendor
- Is the rate per address per month, and what is the smallest order?
- Is the volume rung earned per order, or by the total you hold?
- Do term discounts stack with volume discounts?
- When does the term start, and does it renew by default?
- How fast is a flagged address replaced, and does a replacement carry a fee or change the term's end date?
- Is traffic metered, capped, or subject to a fair-use threshold?
- Are taxes included, and what is refundable after delivery?
ISP proxies against residential billing
Rotating residential proxies are billed by traffic: per gigabyte, with the rate falling as the order grows and no address held between requests. The cost of a residential job therefore scales with the bytes it moves, while the cost of an ISP job scales with the number of addresses and how long you hold them. That makes ISP the predictable choice for heavy, steady traffic through a few targets that accept it, and residential the economical one for light or bursty traffic that needs many distinct addresses. Proxy pricing per GB vs per IP shows how to estimate a workload's monthly gigabytes and where the two models cross.
Datacenter shares the rate card
Our datacenter pricing uses the same ladder and the same term discounts, so every figure above applies unchanged to datacenter addresses. What differs is the address, as the product pages state:
| ISP | Datacenter | |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Leased from consumer ISPs, hosted on our racks | Ranges we hold, announced from our own ASN |
| Latency | Median 41 ms to regional targets | Median 9 ms to regional targets |
| Replacement | Within 4 hours for any flagged address | Within 1 hour for any flagged address |
| Chosen at checkout | Country and consumer ISP | Country |
At the same price, choose by the target. If it scores hosting networks down, test ISP addresses against it; if it accepts datacenter traffic, a datacenter address gives lower latency and a faster replacement for the same rate. Dedicated datacenter proxies covers checking a datacenter range before you rely on it, and the ISP proxies and datacenter proxies product pages carry the full specs.
Pricing an order of your own
- Count the addresses. Measure how many requests per minute your strictest target accepts from one address, divide your job's rate by that, and add headroom for replacements.
- Choose the term from how long each address has to stay unchanged, not from the discount alone. Allowlisted and account-bound addresses justify long terms; a test does not.
- Check the count against the thresholds above, in case rounding up costs less.
- Read the rate from the table, multiply by addresses and by months in the term, and add tax where it applies.
- Confirm at checkout. The dashboard shows the exact total before anything is charged, and the ISP pricing page always carries the current ladder.
