GB-Based Plans
Overview
GB-based plans sell a fixed bandwidth package on a monthly billing cycle. They are quota-driven: the selected tier defines how much traffic is included and what the commercial terms look like.
How It Works
- Pick a GB-based product in the dashboard.
- Compare available package sizes and prices.
- Purchase the tier using a saved card, Stripe Checkout, or crypto.
- Once active, usage is measured against the quota shown on your subscription.
- Upgrades can be charged immediately with proration; downgrades are scheduled for the end of the billing period.
Available Tiers
GB tier responses include:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
data_cap_bytes | Included bandwidth for the package |
price_cents | Current signup price |
renewal_price_cents | Renewal price after any promo ends |
per_gb_price | Derived price per GB for comparison |
currency | Billing currency, currently usd |
badge / is_popular | Merchandising metadata shown in the catalog |
discount_percent / promo_active | Promotional pricing state |
Overage Handling
The dashboard shows quota behavior such as included traffic, renewal pricing, and any upgrade or downgrade effects before you confirm a change.
Best For
- Variable or bursty scraping workloads
- Teams that want monthly quota budgeting
- Trial-to-paid and self-serve account expansion
- Workloads where you care more about total data consumed than reserved throughput
