I built BotProxy in 2017 because I needed to pull public data at scale. Registries, government portals, directories. I could not find a proxy service priced for that, so I made one for myself and then sold access to it.
Then I spent seven years selling it as a general rotating proxy, because that is how people found me in search. The pricing followed the marketing, not the use case. This release fixes that.
The first problem was geography. Bigger plans cost more, which is fine. But bigger plans also unlocked more locations, which is not. Those are unrelated things. A team pulling US county records has no use for Asian exit nodes. They need traffic. We made them buy both to get one. All locations are now on every plan, including the $50 one.
The second problem was the ceiling. Our largest plan was 150 GB. Past that, the page told you to email support. Most people do not email support. They open another tab. So there are now two more plans you can buy without talking to anyone: Scale at $300 for 500 GB, and Bulk at $600 for 1.2 TB. Cost per GB falls as volume rises, from $1.00 on Pro down to $0.50 on Bulk.
The browser was sold as a separate product billed per request. Some portals only release their data through JavaScript search forms, postback navigation or session-bound pagination. If that describes your target, the browser is not an upsell, it is the only way in. Every plan now includes concurrent sessions and a monthly request quota, on the same traffic pool and the same invoice.
Residential worked the way most providers do it: an allowance that reset every billing period, so anything you did not use disappeared. Purchased traffic now goes into a balance that does not expire. Plan-included residential still resets monthly, and it gets spent first, before we touch anything you paid for.
Last change, and the one I would have wanted most as a customer. Every proxy user now has its own daily traffic limits, separate for datacenter and residential, switched on by default. A retry loop that goes wrong at 2am now costs you part of one day instead of your month.
Nothing changes for anyone already subscribed. You stay on the plan you signed up for, at the price you signed up at, until you decide to move. If one of the new plans suits you better, switching takes a click.
If you are collecting public data in volume and you have been paying residential rates to do it, the new Scale and Bulk plans are worth ten minutes of your time. You can test your actual target URL on the homepage before signing up. No account needed, and if it does not come back clean, we would rather you found that out now.
