All four are shared rotating pools billed by the GB, on one gateway for HTTP, HTTPS CONNECT and SOCKS5. No product is a static or dedicated IP, and a sticky session can end before its limit, so build your client to reconnect.
Answers before you order
How proxy plans, location targeting, and the free trial work.
Which proxy type should I use for which use case?
Start with the network the guide for your job recommends; the list above shows it next to its first order. As a rule: Residential Flex for volume jobs where a country is enough, Premium Residential when you need a state, city, ZIP or ASN view, Mobile when the job should look like a 4G or 5G connection, and Datacenter for sites that accept server IPs.
Can I combine multiple use cases on one plan?
Yes. One Databay account gives you residential, datacenter and mobile proxies from one dashboard and one gateway. Run price monitoring, SEO checks and ad verification on the same credentials and pay only for the traffic you use, with no separate subscription per use case.
Do I need residential proxies, or will datacenter work?
Datacenter works for sites that accept server IPs, such as your own sites and services, and it has the lowest entry order: 10 GB for $12.50. Choose residential when a site treats home connections differently from servers, or when you need a state, city, ZIP or ASN view, which only Premium Residential offers.
How does geo-targeting work across these use cases?
You set one targeting selector per request in the proxy username. Premium Residential targets a country, state, city, ZIP, coordinates or ASN; Residential Flex, Mobile and Datacenter target a country or continent. The exit sets the location a site sees on the network; browser language, cookies, account and delivery address are separate, so set them for the market too.
Is there a minimum commitment or a free trial?
No contract and no monthly minimum: you buy traffic by the GB. Try 1 GB of Residential Flex free for 7 days. We ask for a card, but you pay nothing during the trial. On day 7 we charge $13.75 for 25 GB of Residential Flex, or 10% less if you qualify for the first top-up discount. After that, we add another 25 GB for $13.75 each time your balance falls below 2.5 GB, up to 3 times a month, counting the day-7 charge. Data you don't use expires after 31 days, and that also triggers a top-up. Prices exclude VAT where it applies. To pay nothing, turn off automatic top-ups in Subscriptions before day 7; you can turn them off at any time.
