About Proxy Costs
Proxy Costs answers a narrow buying question: what can a buyer actually purchase for the required volume, in the unit the provider really sells, using evidence that another person can inspect.

Quotable answer
Quotable answer
Figure: the site tracks 713 plan records from 47 providers. The latest automated run recorded 225 price checks; 209 are still inside their source-check window, 140 use a GB or IP price, and those checked prices cover 24 providers.
As of: 2026-09-27T07:15:31.727Z, when the current price file was built.

Why this site exists
Why this site exists
An advertised unit rate does not identify the checkout total. The minimum purchase, included quantity, expiry, overage, billing unit, and plan limits can change what the buyer pays or whether the product can do the job.
This site keeps the provider's published unit and computes only from a configuration the provider actually offers. It does not apply a large tier's rate to a smaller purchase or convert a per-IP or unlimited plan into a guessed per-GB figure.
A useful answer must be checkable. The figure, date, provider source, and calculation basis appear together so a buyer can see where the number came from.
How we work
How we work
Every accepted price has first-party evidence and a retrieval time. Every calculated answer states its basis. A plan with no public number remains visible rather than being estimated or removed.
A first-party contradiction remains a contradiction. Both values and both links are retained, and the plan cannot establish a ranking claim until the sources agree.
The site runs no proxy performance tests. Any third-party performance figure must name the tester, source, and date and stays separate from the price.
Prices are ordered by the amount paid for the quantity requested, among plans using the same pricing unit and billing schedule. The rules were last reviewed on 2026-07-30.

Commercial position
Commercial position
The public coverage files contain totals rather than paid placements, provider names, plan records, or referral links. Source: /api/v1/latest.json, checked on 2026-07-30.
The site supports a sponsored-link label if compensated links are introduced. A compensated link must be marked, and compensation must not alter inclusion, arithmetic, or ranking. This policy was reviewed on 2026-07-26.
Corrections and contact
Corrections and contact
Use the contact form for a wrong number, missing plan, changed term, or source conflict. Include the plan ID, field, provider URL, observed value, and observation time.
Providers and readers use the same correction standard: public first-party evidence. A private statement can identify a question but cannot replace a source another reader can inspect.
Proxy Costs does not sell placement, ranking, approval badges, or correction outcomes. This policy was materially reviewed on 2026-07-26.
