Highlights

One rotating endpoint (smartproxy.crawlbase.com) that assigns a new IP per request by default
Billed per successful request with no bandwidth cap; failed requests are not charged
Country targeting in 45+ countries; a session header keeps the same IP for about 30 minutes
Credits are shared with the Crawling API, Enterprise Crawler and Cloud Storage
Account API reports usage; default limit of 20 concurrent requests per token

Good to know

The page advertises 140M residential IPs, but its own FAQ says requests reach 'more than a million proxies'; datacenter IPs are also in the pool
Only country targeting and HTTP(S) over IPv4 are documented; SOCKS5, city and ASN options are not mentioned
JavaScript rendering doubles the cost, and heavily protected sites carry multipliers of up to 20x per request

Crawlbase, formerly ProxyCrawl, sells the Smart AI Proxy: one rotating proxy endpoint that sends each request out through its residential and datacenter pool and handles CAPTCHAs and retries. It bills per successful request rather than per GB, on a graduated rate card shared with Crawlbase's Crawling API, Crawler and Cloud Storage.
