Does my bandwidth expire?

No. Gigabytes you buy stay on your account until you use them — no monthly reset, no rolling window, no expiry date. A quiet month costs nothing, which is what makes a bigger purchase at a better rung safe.

Is there a subscription or a minimum?

No. Every purchase is a one-time payment for a fixed number of gigabytes, from 1 GB up to 1 TB. Nothing recurs, there are no seats, and there is nothing to cancel. Top up when you run low.

How do volume discounts work?

They are automatic and per plan: the discount is a function of how many gigabytes are in a single purchase. ARC Fast has the steepest ladder and reaches −44% at 1 TB. You see the discounted price before you pay.

Which protocols and targeting do you support?

HTTP and SOCKS5, on the same gateway, port and credentials: address the proxy as http:// or socks5://, and HTTPS sites work through either. The dashboard generator writes http:// lines; the API returns SOCKS5 lines with "protocol": "socks5". On ARC Basic, Fast and Ultra, country, city, rotating or sticky sessions and Fast Mode are tokens in the username — nothing to request per connection. ARC Mobile exits from 4 countries, has no city targeting, and its endpoints are generated for you.

Is there a free trial?

No. The closest thing is the ARC Starter package — 1 GB of each rotating pool for €4.90, once per account — and code WELCOME15 for 15% off one single-plan purchase of up to 25 GB.

What can I not use this for?

Anything unlawful, and a specific list on top: fraud, carding, account takeover and credential stuffing, spam, malware, DDoS, harassment, and circumventing access controls on non-public data. The acceptable use policy spells it out; collecting publicly accessible data is a legitimate use and we do not prohibit it as such.

How do I get support?

By email: contact@arcproxies.io. Purchases above 1 TB are priced individually the same way.

Proxies for web scraping, AI agents, price monitoring and brand protection

Pick the job you are doing. Each one has its own guide with a worked cost example, and every one runs on the same string.

Web scraping proxies

A second provider that just works — Scrapy, requests, Crawlee or Playwright, self-serve, no sales call, bandwidth that never expires.

Country and city are tokens in the username. No per-request API to learn.
Rotate for crawls, hold an exit with a session handle for logins.
Gigabytes never expire, so one big crawl does not waste a plan.

Benchmark

Residential proxy price per GB, compared with the providers you are weighing us against

We are not the cheapest at entry and we will not pretend to be. Here is where the advertised numbers sit, and where our volume ladder changes the picture.

How these numbers were made

Entry prices are what each provider advertised on its public pricing page on 20 September 2026; “~” marks a figure the page rounded. Competitors list in USD and we list in EUR, and the chart does not convert between them. Prices exclude VAT. We do not publish a success-rate or latency comparison because we have not measured one.

What the per-GB number does not show

Gigabytes never expire. A plan that resets every month charges you for the traffic you did not use.
No subscription and no seats. One payment buys a fixed number of gigabytes.
City targeting on the ISP network, priced per GB rather than per IP.

How it works

Start collecting in three steps

From account to first request in a few minutes. No sales call, and no minimum commitment.

01
Buy gigabytes
Pick a network and a size, from 1 GB up. One payment by card, no subscription, and the gigabytes stay on your account until you use them.
ARC Fast100 GB
per GB€1.36
total, excl. VAT€136.00
02
Copy the proxy string
Country, city and session length are tokens in the username. The same string works in the dashboard, the API and your code.
USERNAME_pool-arcfast_country-de_city-berlin:PASSWORD@proxy.arcproxies.io:8000
03
Send traffic
Point any HTTP or SOCKS5 client at the gateway. Rotate on every connection, or hold one exit for as long as the task needs.
$ curl -x proxy.arcproxies.io:8000 \
-U "USERNAME_pool-…" httpbin.org/ip
200 OK

Integration

One URL. Whatever you already run.

There is no client to install. A standard http://user:pass@host:port string goes wherever your tool takes a proxy, and everything about routing is in the user part.

Rotating by default — each new connection can get a different exit IP. Add a session handle to hold one IP for as long as the task needs.
Country and city are two tokens. Fast Mode is a third. All free; only gigabytes are billed.
Need hundreds of endpoints at once? Generate them in the dashboard or with one API call — see the API.
