When buying mobile or residential proxies, which pricing model do you prefer, playing per gb or paying for a fixed period(weekly/ monthly)? What makes you prefer one option over the other ?
Mobile / Residential proxies: per gb or subscriptions?

Per GB is better for testing, subscriptions are safer for long term use.

I use subscription for mobile proxies. Since i can rotate the IP is better and i believe more cost effective if you need to upload for example or do other task that require high data usage. May be cheaper or better if you just want it for light data /gb

Depends on your volume. If u are burning 50GB+ a month, subscription is cheaper. For light use per GB win.

This. I don't go anywhere near 50GB a month, so a per-GB plan works well for me.

Per GB gives you a pool of multi country proxies so it depends on what you're looking for

for regular tasks i prefer a subscription, i use a lot of traffic, so its cheaper for me. if the task is small or i only need proxies sometimes, i can choose to pay per gb. but most of the time i use a subscription, so it depends on the tasks. ypu can try both options and see which one works better for you
