## Staff overview

Apify Proxy is the proxy add-on of Apify, a Prague-based web scraping and automation platform. It offers shared datacenter IPs bundled with every plan, dedicated datacenter IPs on request, residential IPs billed per GB, a Google SERP proxy and an Unblocker, all charged against an Apify subscription. Using the proxy outside the Apify platform requires a paid plan, from $19/month.

## Pricing details

- Residential: $8/GB on Free and Starter, $7.50/GB on Scale, $7/GB on Business, drawn from the plan's prepaid monthly usage and then billed as overage
- Plans: Free $0 ($5 monthly usage, proxy inside Apify only), Starter $19/mo, Scale $199/mo, Business $999/mo, each including that amount of prepaid usage; annual billing 10% off; unused usage expires each cycle
- Shared datacenter IPs: 5 on Free, 30 on Starter (extra $1/IP), 200 on Scale (extra $0.80/IP), 500 on Business (extra $0.60/IP); dedicated datacenter IPs on request from $7/IP
- Google SERP proxy: $2.50 per 1,000 SERPs on Free and Starter, $2 on Scale, $1.70 on Business (the proxy page says from $1.90); Unblocker $1.50, $1.50, $1.25 and $1 per 1,000 requests
- External data transfer: $0.20/GB on Free and Starter, $0.19 on Scale, $0.18 on Business; the proxy page says data-transfer charges apply on top of proxy fees
- Enterprise plans are custom; startups get 30% off Scale; student discounts are given as 30% off Starter and Scale (pricing FAQ) and as 50% off any paid plan for up to four months (universities page)

## Trial & refunds

The Free plan needs no card and includes $5 of platform usage each month, including Apify Proxy, but only from Actors running on Apify; external connections require a paid subscription, and the docs say support can be contacted to test the proxy before subscribing. The general terms state that fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable; unused prepaid fees are refunded pro rata only if the customer terminates because Apify materially fails to provide the services and does not fix this within 30 days of written notice.
