Why is the pay-as-you-go model better for the average person?
The biggest headache for many people when they first get in touch with a proxy IP is choosing a package. Traditional monthly packages are like annual gym memberships - the money is spent, but you don't actually get to use it more than a couple of times. ipipgo'sPay what you use.The model solves this problem, and is especially suitable for groups that need the flexibility to use proxy IPs.
For example, users who do e-commerce price monitoring may only need to collect data twice a week. According to the traditional monthly subscription system, you need to pay for the whole month, while under the flexible billing model, you only need to pay for the actual IP traffic used. Through ipipgo background real-time usage statistics, you can also clearly see the hourly consumption details, to avoid spending money in vain.
Three minutes to understand the principles of dynamic billing
The core of flexible billing isReal-time flow metering + step pricing. When a user extracts an IP via ipipgo's API, the system automatically records the usage hours and traffic and automatically optimizes the tariff based on the current load of the resource pool. Here's a key point:Residential IPs are cheaper than server room IPs 30%, because home broadband resources themselves have idle properties.
For specific use, users can save money in the following ways:
1. Setting of automatic switching thresholds (e.g., automatic replacement of a single IP for up to 30 minutes of use)
2. Prioritize the use of IP in cold regions (the unit price of IP in Europe and the United States is generally lower than that in Asia)
3. Enable intelligent routing function (automatic selection of optimal routes)
Real user scenario profiling
We surveyed 500 ipipgo users and found that the flexible billing model is particularly popular in three scenarios:
Scenario 1: Short-term activity monitoring
A cross-border seller needs to monitor 10 competitor websites during the promotional season, using a dynamic IP rotation strategy that costs only 1/5 of a traditional package for 7 days
Scenario 2: Program debugging test
Developers call different regions IP test API interface compatibility, with the immediate release of resources, single test cost control within 0.5 yuan
Scenario 3: Multi-platform account management
The social operation team manages 50 accounts and realizes account security through the automatic IP switching function, and saves 62% in average monthly IP expenditure compared with the fixed package. Not all proxy IP service providers are suitable for flexible billing, so it is recommended to focus on them: Q: Will I be charged extra for sudden heavy traffic usage? Q: How can I avoid my IP being blocked by the target website? Q: Is the model suitable for small dosage users? After registering for a ipipgo account, follow this process to get started: 1.
