Residential Flex costs a flat $0.55/GB because of what it leaves out, not because the IPs are worse: same ethical opt-in sourcing as our premium pool, but country-only targeting, a 30-minute sticky cap, and a best-effort SLA instead of an enterprise one. The result is a measured ~95% success rate at roughly one-fifth of typical pay-as-you-go residential pricing.
Compare current provider terms rather than headline prices: volume thresholds, validity, included features, taxes, and service protections can change the effective cost. Databay Flex publishes $0.55/GB from 25 GB through 5120 GB under the current plan terms.
Don't take the pool quality on faith: we publish independent measurements of residential IP reputation. See the Residential Proxy IP Reputation study (1,000 IPs sampled across 25 ASNs, methodology included), or test any exit IP yourself with the free proxy checker.
Flex is sourced from a curated subnetwork of our residential pool, optimized for bulk operations where country-level targeting is enough.
Same protocols, same dashboard, same API as Premium Residential, sourced from a leaner pool optimized for high-throughput bulk operations.
Premium Residential PAYG runs $2.75/GB. Flex runs a flat $0.55/GB: same dashboard, same billing, same authentication. Switch any time.
Same opt-in sourcing. One-fifth the price.
Start at 25 GB ($13.75) and scale to 5120 GB ($2,816) per order. 31-day data validity. Buy more anytime: no subscription, no auto-renewal.
Residential Flex is pure pay-as-you-go: a one-time order of 25 to 5120 GB at $0.55/GB, valid for 31 days, with no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no monthly minimum. When the data runs out or expires, nothing keeps billing unless you enable optional Auto Top-Up, and you re-order only if you want to.

Applications with compatible HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy support may use Flex credentials. The listed tools are examples, not a version-by-version compatibility guarantee; verify current vendor documentation and test a non-sensitive endpoint you control:
Use official APIs, feeds, exports, and licensed datasets first. Where direct access is permitted and the requirement needs an ISP-classified country sample, Flex offers the published flat per-GB price without city-level targeting. A block, 429, or CAPTCHA is a stop or backoff signal, not a reason to change exits or products. Full guides: web scraping · SEO monitoring · e-commerce.
Collect only approved fields within a source-level request budget, with caching, provenance, and global backoff.
Prefer official search APIs and first-party console exports. For permitted spot checks across the published 90+ markets, record query, locale, account, device, timestamp, and route.
Add a country-classified network sample to systems you control; confirm important findings with independent synthetic and real-user monitoring.
Use merchant APIs or licensed feeds where possible. A country exit is only one input and does not reproduce account, device, address, tax, inventory, or personalization.
Retrieve sources covered by a license or documented permission, retain provenance and deletion obligations, minimize personal data, and measure data quality rather than raw request volume.
Flex runs on the same consent-based network as Premium Residential: the discount comes from the feature set, never from sourcing shortcuts.
