# Billing & Top-ups

> How pricing, payments, top-ups, and invoices work. FlameProxies is pay-as-you-go, and your bandwidth never expires.

FlameProxies is **pay-as-you-go**. There are no subscriptions or monthly cycles for residential bandwidth — you buy the GB you need, and unused bandwidth never expires.

## Pricing

| Product | Price |
| - | - |
| [Residential](/proxies/residential) | \$0.50/GB for 1–999 GB, \$0.45/GB from 1,000 GB |
| [Premium residential](/proxies/premium-residential) | \$3/GB |
| [Static residential (ISP)](/proxies/static-residential) | ISP Monthly \$0.99/month per IP (United States only, RCN ASN), or \$0.70/day, \$1.50/week, \$3.00/month |

Static residential IPs are priced by duration and include unlimited bandwidth. ISP Monthly, the cheapest plan, is United States only, on the RCN ASN.

## Free trial

New accounts can try FlameProxies with a free 200 MB trial. No credit card is required — [register](https://flameproxies.com/register) and start from the dashboard.

## Payment methods

FlameProxies accepts:

* **Cryptocurrency** — Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and more.
* **Cards through Stripe** — credit cards, debit cards, and Apple Pay.

All payments are processed securely. No KYC is required for standard purchases — you can sign up and buy with just an email address.

## Top-ups

You can buy more bandwidth at any time from the dashboard, and it's available immediately.

Top-ups are added to your **main package**. They never create a new package, so your credentials stay the same. If you use [sub-users](/dashboard/sub-users), allocate the new bandwidth to them from the main package.

## Wallet balance and the Customer API

The [Customer API](/api/overview) doesn't charge a card. Orders and bandwidth top-ups made through the API are paid from your **wallet balance** in USD.

The API also keeps a reusable **GB credit balance**. When you remove unused bandwidth from a package with [remove data](/api/packages/remove-data), it's credited back as GB credits. GB credits are spent before your wallet balance on [create order](/api/orders/create) and [add data](/api/packages/add-data) calls.

Check both balances with [`GET /api/customer/balance`](/api/account/balance).

## Invoices

Invoices are generated automatically for every purchase. Download them from the billing section of the [dashboard](https://flameproxies.com/dashboard).

## Refunds
