Package shape and published terms
The calculation charges a whole covering package at every rung. It does not extend a unit rate through unpublished package sizes or locate an exact break-even amount inside a bracket. 9Proxy has broad package steps, while ProxyScrape publishes a denser traffic ladder. Their totals pass each other when one provider enters a new covering tier before the other.
The captured 9Proxy product publishes a 180-day traffic period, rotating and sticky modes, and country, state, city, and ISP targeting. Its rollover on the provider’s page and concurrent-session states are not published.
ProxyScrape publishes a 30-day traffic period with no rollover, account-wide pooling, rotating and sticky modes, sticky sessions up to 120 minutes, unrestricted concurrent sessions, and country and city targeting. Its ZIP and ASN targeting states are not published. The shorter traffic period can matter even where ProxyScrape has the lower cost.
Forecast transferred traffic rather than only successful jobs. Retries, blocked responses, and payload variance can push usage across one of the three brackets. Because the winner changes twice between 100 and 500 GB, a broad estimate in that range is not enough for a durable decision.
Decision rule
Choose ProxyScrape on computed price at 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 250 GB. Choose 9Proxy at 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 GB. Then compare the 180-day and 30-day traffic periods, rollover, session controls, and targeting before purchase. Pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
