How pricing works: GB, IPs and credits

Three units, one rule: rotating proxies are billed per GB, static proxies per IP for a period, scraping APIs in credits per successful request. Failed and blocked requests are never charged.

Three units, one rule: rotating proxies are billed per GB, static proxies per IP for a period, scraping APIs in credits per successful request. Failed and blocked requests are never charged.

Proxies

ProductUnitWhat you pay forExpiry
ResidentialGBTraffic that goes through the gatewayNever expires
MobileGB, 1.2 times the residential rateSame, on carrier IPs; a separate plan with its own balanceNever expires
ISP staticPer IP, for 1, 7, 30 or 90 daysThe IPs themselves; traffic is unlimited under fair useEnds with the term unless it renews
DatacenterPer IP, for 1, 7, 30 or 90 daysSame, on our own hardwareEnds with the term unless it renews

The price per GB and per IP falls with the quantity you buy; the current grid is on datafuel.ai/pricing and on the cards on Home, launch discounts included. There is no monthly minimum on residential and mobile: buy 2 GB or 2,000 GB with Buy data on the plan page.

Home: the product cards with the price per GB or per IP and the launch offer, and the balance in the top bar

Scraping APIs

Every request costs a number of credits set by the network it runs on and the work it does. Blocked and failed requests return their credits.

RequestCredits
Unlocker, Basic network (datacenter)1
Unlocker, Premium network (residential)10
Unlocker with browser rendering5 on Basic, 20 on Premium
SERP search7
LLM Scraper query100

Credits come from a monthly plan (Starter, Growth, Business, Scale) or from pay-as-you-go packs. Pack credits never expire. The Free plan gives you 1,000 credits and 5 concurrent requests to try everything; Starter gives 300,000 credits a month and 10 concurrent requests. JS render in the Playground is the browser-rendering option.

Your balance, cards and VAT

  • Your account has one balance, shown in the top bar. You fill it under Settings → Deposits (between $10 and $5,000 at a time; card payments carry a 3.5% processing fee). Purchases and renewals are taken from the balance.
  • Every checkout shows the price, the quantity, a Tax line and the total before you confirm. VAT follows your Billing Details: 22% for Italian customers, none for EU businesses with a valid VAT number, your country's rate for EU consumers, none outside the EU.
  • A proxy top-up is a one-off charge; the traffic sits on the plan until you use it.
  • A static plan renews automatically at the end of its term unless you turn renewal off; you get emails 7, 3 and 1 days before the charge. Replacing a static IP costs a small fee per replacement once the plan's included replacements are used.
  • An API plan renews monthly; packs are one-off.
  • Prices are in USD.
