One API key works on every tier; you pick the tier per request in the proxy password, so you can run standard for the bulk and switch to clean or mobile for the pages that block, without a second account.
You're only charged at the rate of the tier that actually served each request — standard traffic stays at the standard rate even if the same key hits mobile for ten requests in the middle.
On the reputation-screened tier we check an address against multiple blocklists before handing it out. A flagged IP doesn't fail cleanly, it returns a captcha or block page and you pay for that traffic anyway, so pre-screening is cheaper than it looks.
We put a guide on our blog about running a scraper on a VPS instead of your own machine (scheduling, proxies, not burning your home IP) — pairs well with a PAYG proxy balance.
