# Proxy Top-up
> Buy additional proxy bandwidth on top of your monthly plan.
Proxy top-ups let you buy extra proxy bandwidth on top of what your plan includes. They are a one-time purchase, not a subscription charge.
If you run large crawl or scrape jobs with [Stealth Mode](/features/stealth-mode) enabled, expect a spike in proxy usage, or simply want a buffer, a proxy top-up is the quickest way to add capacity without changing your plan.
You can buy a top-up from the [Billing page](https://app.spidra.io/dashboard/billing) in your dashboard. Click the package you want, complete the Stripe checkout, and the bandwidth is added to your account immediately.
## Available Packages
| Package | Bandwidth | Price |
| ------- | --------- | ----- |
| 1 GB | 1,000 MB | \$7 |
| 5 GB | 5,000 MB | \$28 |
| 10 GB | 10,000 MB | \$52 |
## How Proxy Top-ups Work
Top-up bandwidth is separate from your monthly plan allowance. When you run a proxy-enabled job, Spidra always draws from your monthly bandwidth first. Top-up bandwidth only kicks in when your monthly balance hits zero.
This means a top-up does not replace your plan. It acts as a reserve that covers any proxy usage that goes beyond your monthly allowance.
Proxy top-ups are only available on Starter, Builder, and Pro plans. Free
plan users need to upgrade to a paid plan before they can purchase additional
bandwidth.
## Expiry
Proxy top-up bandwidth expires 12 months after the date of purchase.
Spidra sends you two email reminders before your bandwidth expires:
* A reminder 30 days before the expiry date.
* A second reminder 7 days before the expiry date.
If you have not used the bandwidth by the expiry date, it is removed from your account automatically.
Proxy top-ups are non-refundable once purchased. Make sure you will use
them within 12 months before buying a large package.
## Carrying Forward Bandwidth
When your billing cycle renews, any remaining top-up bandwidth carries forward to the new cycle. The monthly reset only affects your plan's included bandwidth, not top-ups.
So if you buy a 1 GB top-up and only use 200 MB this month, 800 MB will still be in your account when the next cycle starts (assuming it has not expired).
A plan upgrade makes more sense if you are consistently hitting your monthly
bandwidth limit.
