- KYC / ID verification: None — no ID, no selfie, no documents
- Residential price: From $0.50/GB ($1.50 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB, $500 for 1 TB)
- Rotating mobile price: From $1.50/GB ($3.18 for 1 GB)
- Traffic expiry: Prepaid residential and rotating-mobile traffic never expires: unused GB stay on your account until you use them
- Payment: Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC (USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20)
- Payment model: Top up from $25, then buy any plan from your balance. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it
- Gateway: gw.crawlrelay.com, port 7777 (HTTP and HTTPS) and port 7778 (SOCKS5)
- Targeting: Country and city targeting on every plan; in the United States also state and ZIP code; ASN targeting at no extra cost. City availability varies
- Rotation: Rotating mode: each new connection gets an IP from the pool, usually a different one; to get a new IP on every request, send one request per connection (turn off keep-alive)
- Sticky sessions: Sticky sessions keep the same IP for the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes. The IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline
- Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5
- Code examples: Python (requests, httpx, aiohttp), Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, Node.js and curl
- Account: Account-number login; email is optional. Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered
- Authentication: Username and password on every plan, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs)
- Account tools: Sub-users with their own credentials and traffic cap. API keys you can revoke at any time
- Usage counting: Usage counts all data sent and received through the proxy (upload and download, headers included). 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Connection attempts that fail before reaching the target are not counted
- Operator: ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (USA). The team has been in the proxy business since 2019
- Support: Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week
