Per-IP pricing
You rent a fixed number of addresses for a monthly fee and move as much traffic through them as you like. Standard for ISP and datacenter proxies.
Why it costs you money
It is the model that breaks comparison tables. A per-IP price has no gigabyte in it, so converting it to a per-GB rate requires inventing your usage, and any table showing both in one column has guessed on your behalf. We publish a dash and the reason instead.
