Quick answers before you buy
What is CrawlRelay?
CrawlRelay is a developer-first rotating residential and 4G/5G mobile proxy service for scrapers and AI data pipelines: non-expiring pay-as-you-go traffic from $0.50/GB, paid in crypto, with no ID upload. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Pay in crypto. CrawlRelay is operated by ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (USA); the team has been in the proxy business since 2019. It sells traffic per GB from a prepaid crypto balance: rotating residential IPs for most scraping, and rotating 4G/5G mobile IPs for checks of what phone users see. See the about page.
How much does CrawlRelay cost per GB?
Residential traffic costs $1.50 for 1 GB, $0.75/GB at 5 GB, $0.59/GB at 10 GB and $0.50/GB from 50 GB to 1 TB, as of October 2026. Rotating mobile traffic costs $3.18 for 1 GB and $1.50/GB from 5 GB. Every plan is paid from a $25 minimum top-up; the rest stays on your balance (never expires, non-refundable).
Which languages and tools work with CrawlRelay?
Anything that speaks HTTP proxies or SOCKS5: Python requests, httpx and aiohttp, Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, Node.js clients, curl, Go, Java and others. The gateway is gw.crawlrelay.com, port 7777 for HTTP and HTTPS, port 7778 for SOCKS5. The docs have syntax-checked code for each main library.
Do I need to verify my identity or have a company email?
No. CrawlRelay, a no-KYC proxy service for developers, asks for no ID, no selfie, no company documents and no company email. Account-number login; email is optional. The Acceptable Use Policy still applies to every account, and abuse leads to suspension.
Is web scraping with proxies legal?
Collecting public data is lawful in many countries, but the answer depends on the data, the method and the site's terms, and some cases are being decided right now. Personal data, logins and deliberate technical barriers raise the risk. This is not legal advice; read our 2026 overview of web scraping law.
