Pay-as-you-go residential proxies

How does pay-as-you-go work at Nameless Proxy?

You pay for traffic once, when you need it, and you never sign up for a recurring plan. Every purchase is a one-off pack taken from a prepaid balance in US dollars. You fill that balance with crypto, and the balance itself never expires.

There is no card on file and no invoice at the end of the month. Every crypto payment is a transaction you send yourself, so nobody can charge you later.

Do residential proxies that don't expire really exist?

Yes. At Nameless Proxy, residential traffic never expires. The gigabytes you buy stay on your subscription until you use them, whether that takes a week or a year.

Three rules make this work in practice:

• Packs stack. Buying more traffic for an existing subscription adds the gigabytes to the same credentials, so your scripts keep working.
• One pack, every country. A pack is not tied to one location. The same gigabytes work in any of the 190+ countries offered at checkout.
• The balance stays too. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not refundable. A top-up you have not spent is still there next month.

One exception: deleting your account forfeits the remaining balance and traffic, so use them first. The binding rules are in the Terms of Service.

How much do pay-as-you-go residential proxies cost?

Residential traffic costs $1.88/GB on the 1 GB pack and falls to $0.53/GB on the 1 TB pack, as of October 2026. Every size is pay as you go: a large pack is still a one-off purchase with no commitment, and its traffic never expires either.

Each plan is priced 25% below the lowest public price we found for the same quantity, among the providers we checked on 5 October 2026. The reference behind each tier is on the pricing page. City targeting, sticky sessions, SOCKS5 and sub-users cost nothing extra.

How do these prices compare with the market?

Our pay-as-you-go packs sit below the 2026 market medians published by Proxyway. Its Proxy Market Research 2026 gives median residential prices of $3.75/GB at 5 GB, $3.00/GB at 50 GB and $2.25/GB at 500 GB.

Pay as you go or a monthly subscription: what changes?

Pay as you go suits irregular or uncertain volume; a subscription suits teams that use the same volume every month. Nameless Proxy sells pay-as-you-go packs only, so the table describes subscriptions in general terms.

Is there a residential proxy trial?

There is no free trial. The low-cost test is the 1 GB residential pack at $1.88, bought from your balance. It is enough to check targeting, sessions and your integration on a few real targets.

Be aware of the minimum: the smallest amount you send in crypto is $25. The test pack uses $1.88 of it, and the rest stays on your balance for later packs. If the pack does not work for you, the refund rule applies: full refund within 24 hours of purchase if less than 100 MB of the pack was used; a dedicated port that cannot deliver a working IP is refunded in full. Refunds are credited to your account balance; details on the refunds page.

Testing mobile IPs instead? A dedicated 4G/5G port can be rented for a single day at $2.63.

Can I buy pay-as-you-go mobile proxies too?

Yes. Rotating mobile traffic is sold the same way: per GB, from your balance, with no subscription. It draws on a shared pool of 4G/5G carrier IPs with country targeting, and the traffic never expires. Packs run from 1 GB for $3.75 down to $1.50/GB on the larger packs.

If you need one carrier IP under your control instead, rent a dedicated mobile proxy by the day, week or month. It is billed by time, with unlimited traffic and no daily cap, and it also has no contract: the port stops at the end of the period unless you extend it.

What does the minimum top-up mean for small orders?

The minimum top-up is the smallest crypto payment we accept: $25. It is not a fee and not a monthly charge. The full amount lands on your USD balance, and you spend it on any product, in any country, whenever you like.

• Your balance is held in US dollars. Crypto price swings after a top-up is credited do not change its value.
• Prices are fixed when you buy. A later change to the price list never affects a pack you already bought.
• Wrong amounts are credited. An overpayment, or a payment that arrives after the top-up expired, is credited to your balance.
• Every coin costs the same. Prices do not change with the coin or the network; only network fees and confirmation times differ.

Coin by coin: paying with crypto.

How do I keep track of pay-as-you-go usage?

The client area shows your traffic use per day, counted in decimal gigabytes (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes), so you can check it against your own logs.

• Sub-users get their own proxy username, password and optional traffic cap, so one script cannot use up the whole pack.
• API keys can be limited to the read, proxies or billing scopes.
• Auto-renew is optional. When it is on, it buys the same pack again from your balance when less than 5% of the traffic is left, and it does nothing if the balance is too low.

None of this needs a company name or documents. Setup takes a few minutes with the quick-start guide.
