Pricing
I Worked Out Decodo Pricing at 1, 10 and 100 GB
Decodo PAYG at $4/GB is cheaper for one GB; monthly plans are cheaper at 10 and 100 GB. Plus the API's premium default and a trial that turns paid.
I would start Decodo pricing with the product and billing unit, then compare PAYG against the amount of a monthly allowance I would actually use. Residential PAYG lists $4/GB, the minimum monthly residential plan is three GB/$11.25, and Web Data API has separate configuration-dependent request billing. Residential pricing, API pricing, API billing.
Short on time?
Here's my take
- Under 3 GB, or uneven months
- Residential PAYG
- $4/GB, bought one GB at a time. One GB costs $4 instead of $11.25 for the smallest plan.
- Steady 3 GB+ a month
- The monthly plan that fits
- From $3.75/GB at 3 GB down to $2.75/GB at 100 GB, if you use the whole allowance.
- Managed scraping API
- Budget the premium rate
- Requests use the premium pool by default: $0.65–$1.00 per 1,000, not the $0.20 headline.

What does each Decodo product cost? #
Prices and specifications verified: 2026-11-11, in displayed USD excluding VAT. A low entry figure in one row does not describe the same workload as an entry in another.
| Product | Public example | What I would check |
|---|---|---|
| Residential | $4/GB PAYG; three GB/$11.25 monthly | PAYG and residential subscription cannot coexist |
| Dedicated ISP | Three IPs/$9.99 or ten/$29 monthly | Dedicated, per-IP and per-GB tabs are distinct |
| Datacenter GB | Ten GB/$6, 50/$28.50, 100/$54 monthly | Per-IP and dedicated offers are separate |
| Mobile | Promotional two GB/$7.50 monthly | Displayed 50% discount; eligibility/renewal unverified |
| Site Unblocker GB | One GB/$10, ten/$85, 100/$675 monthly | Request-based tab is a separate quote |
| Web Data API | Free/$19/$49/$99/$249 monthly | Endpoint, pool and JS determine the unit rate |
I would not use the ISP “from $0.27” headline as the dedicated entry price, or treat a datacenter GB as equivalent to residential GB on a particular target. Those offers reserve different products and need the actual configuration. ISP, Datacenter.
Is pay-as-you-go or a monthly plan cheaper? #
The monthly residential cards list three/ten/25/50/100 GB for $11.25/$35/$81.25/$150/$275. PAYG costs $4/GB through Wallet, purchased one GB at a time, and cannot coexist with a monthly residential subscription. Residential pricing.
These are hypothetical traffic purchases, not equal successful-page workloads or invoices. Assume the stated traffic is consumed during the selected monthly period; VAT, client compute, assets/retries beyond the assumed metered traffic and other services are excluded.
| Hypothetical consumed residential traffic | PAYG at $4/GB | Selected monthly purchase | Cash difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| One GB | $4 | $11.25 for three GB | PAYG costs $7.25 less; two GB of allowance unused |
| Ten GB | $40 | $35 for ten GB | Monthly costs $5 less if fully needed |
| 100 GB | $400 | $275 for 100 GB | Monthly costs $125 less if fully needed |
Input: residential pricing, verified 2026-11-11. The enterprise $2/GB headline requires one TB; it is not a one-GB PAYG quote. A lower nominal unit price does not compensate for buying capacity you do not use.
What about ISP, datacenter, mobile and Site Unblocker? #
For persistent assigned exits, I would inspect the dedicated ISP quote of three IPs/$9.99 or ten/$29 monthly rather than mix it with shared per-IP or GB billing. Country, selected type and plan conditions still require confirmation. ISP product/pricing. If you are unsure whether you need a fixed ISP exit at all, start with ISP vs residential proxies.
Datacenter monthly GB offers are ten/$6, 50/$28.50 and 100/$54. Mobile’s displayed 50%-off cards are two/$7.50, eight/$28, 25/$81.30, 50/$150 and 100/$275, with mobile PAYG advertised at $4/GB against $8 list. I would keep that discount conditional rather than assume a permanent renewal price. Datacenter, Mobile.
Site Unblocker’s GB plans are one/$10, five/$45, ten/$85, 25/$200, 50/$375 and 100/$675 monthly. Its request tab is separate, so those bandwidth figures cannot be presented as a cost per successful page without a selected product quote and workload. Site Unblocker pricing.
Why the Web Data API default costs more #
The regular API cards list $0/$19/$49/$99/$249 monthly and corresponding caps of 10/10/25/50/100 requests per second. Published maximum page counts depend on endpoint and complexity; they are not a guaranteed allowance for every configuration. API pricing, Billing.
| Regular plan, in listed order | Standard, no JS / 1,000 | Default premium, no JS / 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0.50 | $1.00 |
| $19 monthly | $0.50 | $1.00 |
| $49 monthly | $0.40 | $0.75 |
| $99 monthly | $0.30 | $0.70 |
| $249 monthly | $0.20 | $0.65 |
These are billing-document inputs, verified 2026-11-11. Premium is the default; JS has a different rate and search has its own rate. I would not apply a cheapest headline or standard/no-JS example to an unchanged default request. API billing.
Crawl charges each successful page rather than one unit for an entire job. Map can incur another sitemap request, while internal errors 500/524/613 are not charged under the documented rules. The bill therefore needs endpoint and option counts, not just a submitted-job count. API billing.
The October 12, 2026 announcement describes scrape, search, map and crawl under one API key and account. That explains the product grouping; it does not make its “up to” free-page presentation true for every option. Announcement, Pricing, Billing.
The trial rolls into a paid plan unless you cancel #
The residential pricing page documents a 100-MB, three-day new-user trial that automatically activates the selected paid plan unless canceled before the trial ends. I would record the selected subscription and cancellation timing before entering payment details. No trial was activated here. Residential pricing.
The dedicated refund policy is narrower than an unconditional money-back promise: first self-service purchase, within 14 days, noncrypto, no previously used trial and no Enterprise. Proxy usage must stay at or below 20% or one GB, whichever first; scraping usage has its own 20% ceiling. Approval remains conditional. Refund policy.
The residential pricing FAQ instead mentions an Enterprise 10% threshold and omits the one-GB ceiling. I would use the dedicated policy for planning and resolve the conflict against the actual contract before purchase; I would not promise a refund from the shorter pricing answer. Pricing FAQ, Dedicated policy.
Wallet dollars are distinct from purchased traffic or API request units. The licence describes expiry after 12 unused months, so an account balance should not automatically be called perpetual proxy GB. Licence.
What do the SDK and sourcing pages tell you? #
Decodo documents a typed Node-compatible TypeScript client and an HTTPX/Pydantic Python client, with official source repositories. Those are API client integrations, not peer-monetization SDKs or automatic raw-residential entitlement; no client was installed or executed for this article. TypeScript SDK, Python SDK, TypeScript source, Python source.
Its August 18, 2026 announcement describes residential HTTP/3/QUIC availability. I have no independent protocol or latency result to turn that announcement into a speed advantage. Announcement.
The sourcing and compliance pages describe compensated peers, explicit consent, customer checks and use restrictions. These are provider assertions rather than a supplier audit I completed; price does not establish the provenance of the selected exits. Sourcing, Security/compliance. For the questions I would ask any provider about sourcing, see ethically sourced residential proxies.
Where would I start? #
For residential traffic under about 3 GB a month, or months that swing a lot, I would pick pay-as-you-go at $4/GB. Once I knew I would use 3 GB or more every month, I would pick the monthly plan that matches that volume: ten GB costs $35 instead of $40, and 100 GB costs $275 instead of $400. For the managed API, I would budget at the premium rate ($0.65–$1.00 per 1,000 without JS), because that is what an unchanged request uses.
For a price context rather than a normalized ranking: Bright Data lists $8/GB with a conditional $4 coupon; Oxylabs’ $15 Starter wallet shows up to two residential GB at $6/GB; Webshare lists a one-GB monthly plan at $3.50. IPRoyal’s two visible pricing blocks remain ambiguously paired to their toggles. Bright Data, Oxylabs, Webshare, IPRoyal. My residential price comparison from 1 GB to 1 TB puts Decodo next to five other providers.
If Bright Data is the other name on your list, Bright Data vs Decodo follows both bills past the first three months. If Decodo’s terms are the problem, my Decodo alternatives list sorts the replacements by why you’re leaving.
None establishes the cheapest usable output. Read proxy pricing models, residential trial conditions, Bright Data pricing, scraping API credits and scraping APIs versus proxies before changing the product layer.
FAQ #
How much is Decodo’s pay-as-you-go residential plan? #
The residential pricing page lists $4/GB through Wallet, purchased one GB at a time. It cannot coexist with a monthly residential subscription, and VAT is extra. Residential pricing.
What’s the cheapest Decodo monthly residential plan? #
Three GB for $11.25 monthly excluding VAT. If only one GB is consumed, the whole allowance still costs $11.25. Pricing.
Will Decodo’s three-day trial start charging me? #
The residential pricing page says the 100-MB/three-day trial activates the selected paid plan unless canceled before the trial ends. No account behavior was tested here. Trial wording.
Does the Decodo API default to the premium pool? #
Yes, the billing documentation identifies premium as the default. Standard/no-JS, premium, JS and search rates must not be treated as one price. API billing.
Is a whole crawl job billed as one request? #
The documented crawl model charges each successful page, and map can also charge a sitemap request. A submitted job count alone is insufficient. API billing.
Can I get a refund on any Decodo purchase within 14 days? #
No. The dedicated policy has first-purchase, payment, trial, enterprise and usage exclusions, and conflicts with shorter residential pricing FAQ wording. Confirm the applicable contract. Refund policy, Pricing FAQ.
