# Billing models

> Compare TrueProxies billing models: pay per GB with traffic pack expiry, or choose Unlimited Bandwidth at a fixed speed. Review usage and connection limits.

TrueProxies offers two billing models for residential IPv4, plus flat plans for IPv6 products. Current prices always live on the [pricing page](https://trueproxies.com/pricing/) and in checkout — checkout is authoritative.

## Pay per GB

You buy a traffic pack that expires 30 days after activation. Each top-up has its own deadline; older traffic keeps its original expiry. Best for light, intermittent, or still-unmeasured workloads.

- Usage counts transferred bytes in both directions, including retries.
- Track your live usage in the dashboard — don’t estimate from response sizes alone.
- See [GB-based plans](https://docs.trueproxies.com/pricing/gb-based-plans/) for details.

## Unlimited bandwidth

You pick a speed tier (10 Mbps to 1 Gbps; hourly plans go up to 100 Mbps) and move as much data as you want for a fixed price. Best for continuous, heavy workloads.

- No byte caps and no overage charges — throughput is capped at your chosen tier instead.
- Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly durations available.
- See [Unlimited plans](https://docs.trueproxies.com/pricing/unlimited-plans/) for details.

## What applies to every plan

- All prices are published — no setup fees or hidden surcharges.
- Every plan has connection limits (concurrent connections and new-connections-per-second) that are separate from bandwidth. Your active plan in the dashboard shows the exact values.
- The billing model does not change the proxy protocol. After checkout, copy the connection details and credentials from your service in the dashboard.
- The [free trial](https://trueproxies.com/free-trial/), one hour of Residential IPv4 Unlimited at 10 Mbps, never converts to a paid plan.

## Published plan fields

The public catalogue exposes this customer-facing subset of each plan record; it is not a complete database schema:

- `allowance_bytes` — the metered allowance in bytes; zero means no byte quota
- `connects_per_second` — the new-connection rate ceiling
- `currency` — the ISO billing currency
- `enabled` — whether the plan is currently available
- `max_connections` — the concurrent-connection ceiling
- `price_cents` — the exact plan price in minor currency units
- `product` — `residential_ipv4_gb`, `residential_ipv4_unlimited`, `datacenter_ipv6`, or `trial`
- `speed_bps` — the throughput ceiling in bits per second; zero on traffic packs
- `term` — the plan term: `hour`, `day`, `week`, or `month`; absent on traffic packs and the free trial
