A trial plan is a limited free or low-cost offer that lets new customers test a proxy service before committing to a full subscription. It usually includes a small amount of bandwidth or a short time window to evaluate performance.
The provider sets a reduced scope for the trial, such as a fixed amount of data, a limited number of IP addresses, or a short number of days of access. New users sign up, sometimes providing payment details and sometimes not, and get access to a scaled-down version of the full service. This lets customers test speed, reliability, and ease of setup before paying for a larger plan. Some trials automatically convert to a paid subscription if not canceled before the trial period ends.
This is largely a plan and configuration choice, not a technical limitation.
USER-trial-plan-session-task01Everything lives in the username -- add "trial-plan" to any proxy credential to apply trial plan to a single task. Swap "task01" for a new label to spin up an independent, isolated identity.
KnoxProxy sticky sessions persist up to 30 minutes on residential (60 on mobile), and the window refreshes with activity.
Each session or connection label gets its own exit, so parallel identities never collide.
This costs nothing beyond bandwidth -- successful responses are billed, not the session or connection itself.
Run as many parallel sessions or connections as the job needs -- concurrency is not capped on any plan.
A developer signs up for a 3-day trial plan with 100 MB of bandwidth to confirm a scraping script works correctly before buying a full plan.
A trial plan lets buyers verify real-world performance and compatibility with their tools before spending money on a larger commitment. Checking the fine print of a trial helps avoid unexpected charges if it auto-renews into a paid plan.
Trial Plan is a plan-level or configuration-level concept that determines how proxy resources get allocated across your jobs. It is a billing and management concern, not a protocol detail.
This varies quite a bit by provider. Some require full payment details upfront and charge automatically once the trial period ends unless it is canceled in time, while others offer a genuine no-card free trial, though usually with more limited bandwidth, IP access, or day-count restrictions attached.
Most trials offer just enough bandwidth and time, often a small data allowance over a few days, to confirm basic connectivity, IP quality, and script compatibility. They rarely support full-scale production testing, so treat a trial as a quick compatibility check rather than a real-world performance benchmark.
