Frequently billing questions

How does the monthly subscription model work?

• You can use an unlimited number of connections, threads, and countries at once, as our pricing model is based on traffic usage.
• Each plan contains a different amount of traffic. For example, the Starter Plan includes 20GB. Our subscription plans set a different price per GB, so as you scale up in plans, the price per GB goes down. Learn more on our pricing page.
• Payments are made on a monthly basis at the beginning of every period.
• The billing cycle begins at the date of the first payment. Your plan will be active for a full calendar month. For example, if you purchase the Regular plan on November 1st, your account will be active until December 1st. You will also be charged for the next month on the same day of the next month.
• If you have used up all of your traffic you can switch your plan at any time or add more credits (GB).

All unused traffic will be reset to 0GB every month (at the beginning of the new billing cycle). When changing a plan, all unused traffic is reset to 0GB too.

All orders are conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com which is a Merchant of Record for these orders. To contact Paddle’s support team reach out via Paddle.net

Can I upgrade or downgrade my subscription plan?

Yes, you can change your plan at any time in the dashboard.

When switching plans before your current subscription has ended:

1: your unused traffic will not carry over (will be reset to 0GB)

2: you will be charged the full amount for your new plan and subscription day will be changed automatically.

3: if you had a discount, it applies only for a plan that is purchased for the first time. Discount is being kept on all upcoming subscriptions. In case you will downgrade your plan discount will not be applied.

4: The refund policy is only valid for the first order.  After you upgrade/downgrade your plan 3-day money back option will not be valid anymore. Find more info: here

How can I cancel my subscription?

Can we try to make it right? Let’s chat! Email us at [email protected]  to let us know how we can assist.

Each of our plans creates a monthly subscription . You are 100% responsible for canceling your monthly subscription on time, before the next billing cycle.

To cancel your subscription:

1. Log into your dashboard account.
2. Navigate to your ‘Profile’  by clicking on the icon on the top right corner.
3. In the ‘Billing Information’ section click on ‘Cancel Subscription’.
4. Once you click on ‘Cancel Subscription’, you’ll see a pop-up of confirmation.
5. After canceling your current subscription, your monthly payments will be suspended. You will get a notification in your email. Note: Canceling your subscription will not delete your dashboard account.

Nevertheless, the time you’ve already paid for is yours to keep– you can continue using our proxy network until the last day of your billing cycle. If you’ll want to start using proxies again after the initial cancelation, you’ll need to once again purchase a plan which you can find at the billing tab on the left.

If you do face some sort of issues or need more information please contact your dedicated sales rep or email us [email protected] . We would highly appreciate your feedback so that we could improve.
