How to Optimize Scrapeless Proxy Costs with 9Proxy Unlimited Bandwidth

Web scraping at scale relies on two essentials: browser automation and proxy infrastructure. Scrapeless Cloud Browser handles JavaScript rendering and anti-detection exceptionally well, but proxy expenses often grow into a major cost factor.

Most residential proxies charge per gigabyte consumed. When you're scraping JavaScript-heavy pages that weigh 2 to 5 megabytes each, bandwidth costs scale quickly. A project processing 100,000 pages monthly can easily accumulate $1,500 to $3,000 in proxy fees.

This guide walks you through integrating 9Proxy's unlimited bandwidth model with Scrapeless to significantly reduce these costs while maintaining the same scraping performance.

What Is 9Proxy?

9Proxy is a residential proxy provider offering an unlimited bandwidth pricing model designed for high-volume web scraping operations. Unlike traditional providers that charge per gigabyte consumed, 9Proxy charges a fixed price per IP address with completely unlimited data usage.

Key features for cost-effective web scraping include:

• Flexible Pricing Models: Choose between IP-based and GB-based plans based on your use case, offering maximum flexibility for different scraping scenarios.
• Highly Competitive Pricing: Starting from just $0.015 per IP or $0.68 per GB, 9Proxy offers some of the most affordable residential proxy rates in the market without compromising quality.
• Large and Clean IP Pool: Over 20 million residential IPs across 90 countries with a focus on maintaining clean IPs and low blacklist rates for higher success rates.
• Full Protocol Support: Complete compatibility with HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocols, ensuring seamless integration with Scrapeless and other scraping tools.
• 24/7 Human Support: Real customer support team available around the clock via Telegram, email, and ticket system to answer questions and resolve technical issues promptly.

Use Cases

9Proxy is ideal for data-intensive scraping projects where bandwidth consumption is high or unpredictable, such as e-commerce monitoring, social media data collection, market research, and SEO tracking. It's particularly valuable for teams that need predictable proxy budgets and automated IP management without manual intervention.

Why Combine Scrapeless with 9Proxy?

Scrapeless Cloud Browser excels at browser automation and anti-detection. However, proxy infrastructure is a critical component of any large-scale scraping operation, and proxy costs can quickly become the largest expense when dealing with:

• Unpredictable bandwidth costs that scale with page size changes you don't control
• Residential IP instability when IPs go offline mid-session, breaking browser workflows
• Manual proxy management overhead consumes valuable development time
• Budget uncertainty is making it difficult to forecast monthly scraping expenses

9Proxy solves these pain points perfectly:

• Predictable costs with unlimited bandwidth: Pay per IP starting from just $0.015 per IP, not per gigabyte. Scrape 100 pages or 10,000 pages through one IP, the cost remains the same. Combined with Scrapeless's efficient rendering, bandwidth consumption no longer affects your budget.
• Save total costs: The Today List feature allows free reuse of IPs from the previous 24 hours, saving an additional 20 to 30 percent.
• Zero-downtime operations: Auto-refresh automatically detects and replaces offline IPs within 60 seconds. Scrapeless's retry logic works seamlessly with replacement IPs, maintaining 99 percent or higher success rates without manual intervention.
• Enhanced geo-targeting precision: ISP-level targeting, for example, Los Angeles, California, AT&T, combined with Scrapeless's fingerprint management, creates completely authentic user profiles. Browser coordinates, timezone, and network IP all match perfectly for location-specific scraping.
• One-line code integration: Fully compatible with Scrapeless Browser, requiring only one line of code to change the proxy endpoint. No refactoring or rewriting existing code needed.
• Clean IP pool for higher success rates: Low blacklist rate means fewer CAPTCHA challenges, fewer retry attempts, and lower overall Scrapeless browser resource consumption. Your scraping succeeds on the first attempt more often.
• Flexible pricing models: Choose between IP-based plans with unlimited bandwidth or GB-based plans depending on your specific use case, ensuring you only pay for what fits your scraping volume.

9Proxy Pricing Plans

9Proxy uses flexible usage-based pricing - you pay only for what you use, measured either by IP or by GB, or both through bundle plans. No subscriptions you don't need, no traffic you don't use.

IP-based Residential Pricing

The IP-based model is built for scraping operations that prioritize session stability and consistency. When your workflow depends on maintaining the same IP across multiple requests, whether for account authentication, shopping cart sessions, or platforms with strict anti-bot detection, this pricing structure delivers reliable performance without session interruptions.

Package	Price per IP	Total Cost
100 IPs	$0.20	$20
500 IPs	$0.12	$60
1,000 + 500 IPs	$0.07	$105
2,500 IPs	$0.07	$175
5,000 IPs	$0.06	$300
15,000 IPs	$0.04	$600
25,000 IPs	$0.03	$750
50,000 IPs	$0.025	$1,250

Business IP Packages (High Volume)

For teams running industrial-scale scraping operations requiring hundreds of thousands of IPs, 9Proxy's Business packages bring per-unit costs down to enterprise levels while maintaining the same residential IP quality and success rates.

Package	Price per IP	Total Cost
100,000 IPs	$0.02	$2,000
200,000 IPs	$0.018	$3,600
500,000 IPs	$0.015	$7,500

GB-based Residential Pricing

Bandwidth-based pricing gives you the flexibility to rotate through 9Proxy's entire 20M+ IP pool without worrying about individual IP allocation. This model excels when your scraping strategy requires frequent rotation, diverse geo-targeting, or distributed requests across thousands of different IPs. You pay only for the data you consume.

Package	Price per GB	Total Cost	Validity
5 GB	$3.00	$15	180 days
50 +5 GB	$2.10	$105	180 days
100 GB	$1.50	$150	180 days
200 GB	$1.00	$200	180 days
1,000 GB	$0.80	$800	180 days
2,000 GB	$0.75	$1,500	180 days

Enterprise GB Packages (Unlimited Validity)

For organizations running continuous, always-on scraping infrastructure, Enterprise GB packages remove the validity constraint entirely. These plans never expire, allowing you to consume bandwidth at your own pace without worrying about deadline pressure or wasted resources.

Package	Price per GB	Total Cost	Validity
3,000 GB	$0.72	$2,160	Unlimited
6,000 GB	$0.70	$4,200	Unlimited
10,000 GB	$0.68	$6,800	Unlimited

Bundle Plans

Bundle plans combine IPs and bandwidth, optimized for users who need both session persistence and high throughput. These packages deliver the best value for comprehensive scraping operations.

Bundle	Price
100 IPs + 5GB	$25
1500 IPs + 50 GB	$150
5000 IPs + 500 GB	$600

Which Plan Should Scrapeless Users Pick?

Choose IP-based pricing if you're scraping e-commerce sites, social media platforms, or any target requiring stable sessions. It's perfect for account-based scraping or when maintaining user state across requests.

Choose GB-based pricing if you're doing large-scale data harvesting, SERP scraping, or ad verification where IP rotation frequency matters more than session persistence.

Choose bundle plans if you're running diverse scraping projects simultaneously or need operational flexibility. Bundles provide the best cost-per-resource ratio for teams managing multiple clients or data sources.

Conclusion

Combining Scrapeless Cloud Browser with 9Proxy creates a powerful, cost-effective scraping infrastructure that addresses the two biggest challenges in large-scale web scraping: reliable browser automation and predictable proxy costs. Scrapeless handles the complexity of JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA solving, and anti-detection, while 9Proxy eliminates bandwidth anxiety through unlimited data usage per IP. This partnership allows you to focus on data extraction logic rather than infrastructure management.
