Measure a representative sample
Choose several pages typical of your use case and measure traffic in your tool. A browser that loads every resource generally transfers more data than a request for a single document. Do not select only the lightest page, and document which resources were loaded.
Build an explicit estimate
For a simple forecast, multiply the number of visits by the observed average data volume, then add a documented margin for retries and variation. As a purely illustrative example, 2,000 visits at 500 KB each represent about 1 GB in decimal units, before any margin. This estimate does not replace the billing rules for your access.
Check what is counted
Ask whether incoming data, outgoing data, errors, additional resources and interrupted connections are included. Confirm how GB is defined and how long the data allowance remains valid. The ProxyCrest catalog lists packages, but provider terms must be clarified before making promises about data usage.
Track the cost per usable result
Divide the total cost by the number of usable observations, excluding errors and duplicates. This is more meaningful than cost per attempt. For access billed by the day, include the reserved period and confirmed traffic limits; a paid access period does not establish an unlimited data allowance.
Frequently asked questions
Does the dashboard already measure provider traffic?
No. Orders and delivered access details are saved, but no provider traffic counter is connected. Usage figures must not be invented.
Do the displayed prices change by country?
The local catalog uses the same packages for each proxy type. The order amount is recalculated on the server; any specific conditions must be confirmed before payment.
