Here are some proxy providers that offer pay-as-you-go or usage-based pricing models:
- Bright Data — pay per GB/session on some products; also offers flexible plans.
- Oxylabs — usage-based billing for certain proxy products and APIs.
- Smartproxy — some offerings are metered or usage-based rather than fixed-only.
- SOAX — has flexible traffic-based options.
- NetNut — offers usage-based/residential proxy billing on some plans.
- IPRoyal — commonly has bandwidth-based or pay-for-use style plans.
- Rayobyte — offers bandwidth-based pricing for some proxy types.
- Webshare — has flexible, low-commitment plans and metered options.
A few notes:
- “Pay-as-you-go” can mean different things: per GB, per IP, per request, or credit-based usage.
- Many providers advertise monthly subscriptions but also have metered add-ons or enterprise billing that are effectively usage-based.
- Availability can change by proxy type: datacenter, residential, mobile, and ISP proxies often have different billing models.
