- Our rates are live from our catalogue and exclude the payment fee: cards add the processor's fee, crypto the gateway's.
- Decodo rates are as published on its own pages, and exclude VAT where those pages say so.
- Where a Decodo rate belongs to a monthly plan, it buys that volume each billing cycle. Our per-GB bandwidth is a one-off purchase that never expires.
- Where their volume is larger than our biggest single order, our figure is the rate for orders of our maximum size.
