Choosing a plan
Pay-per-GB vs dedicated mobile proxies
Choose between a shared bandwidth allowance and a dedicated connection rented by time.

What you are buying
ProxyMobile has two choices inside Proxy setup. By bandwidth buys a data allowance shared across your generated connections, available countries and the mobile or residential pools. Dedicated mobile rents a connection for a selected period, with its own credentials and expiry.
Both purchases use your account balance, but they are managed separately. Buying GB does not renew a dedicated rental. Renting a dedicated connection does not add GB to your bandwidth key. Choose the product before copying connection details into your application.
Compare the total cost
The bandwidth plan allows purchases from 1 to 100 GB. The table uses the same pricing calculation as checkout, so the total is the amount you pay for that purchase. The lowest per-GB rate applies to the largest bundle.
| Data | Total | Per GB |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | $7.00 | $7.00 |
| 5 GB | $35.00 | $7.00 |
| 10 GB | $68.00 | $6.80 |
| 25 GB | $150.00 | $6.00 |
| 50 GB | $283.00 | $5.66 |
| 100 GB | $500.00 | $5.00 |
A new bandwidth plan lasts 30 days. Check the dashboard’s validity date when adding data to an existing plan. Size a purchase around both expected usage and the time you have to use it.
Dedicated prices depend on the available country, carrier and rental period. In Dedicated mobile, select a plan and quantity, then choose Get exact total. Review that quote before confirming. Rentals are charged once from balance and do not renew automatically. Check the selected plan’s limits; “dedicated” alone does not mean unlimited traffic or a guaranteed speed.
Countries, carriers and IP changes
With bandwidth, the connection generator lets you select from the available pool and country options without buying a separate GB bundle for each country. The country pages are a starting point; the current dashboard selection determines what you can configure.
A dedicated rental is chosen from a country-and-carrier catalog. Inventory and periods can vary. Use the connection details and supported controls shown on the rental itself. Do not assume the bandwidth username options apply to it.
Neither a sticky bandwidth session nor a dedicated mobile connection is a promise of a permanent public IP. Mobile networks can reconnect and reassign addresses. If a workflow needs continuity, test that behavior with your actual application before committing to a larger purchase.
Which option fits your work?
Bandwidth is a useful starting point when you want to control data spend, test several available countries or run occasional jobs. Measure a small representative run first, including retries and downloaded assets, then estimate the full workload.
A dedicated rental may fit work that needs an individually managed connection in a particular available country and carrier for a day, week or month. Compare the actual rental quote with your expected bandwidth spend and required duration.
Once you have chosen, follow the mobile proxy setup guide. For an application that needs a specific protocol or connection format, check the API examples before purchasing.
