Websites don't show everyone the same thing. Prices shift by country, search results localize, ads target by region, and availability differs by market. Research through a datacenter VPN and you see a version tailored to a suspicious server — research through Roam's residential exits and you see exactly what a local customer sees.
Home-broadband exits render geo-priced, geo-stocked and geo-ranked content the way locals get it.
Sweep a pricing survey across every target country by iterating -country-
Sticky sessions let repeated visits come from the same 'household' for longitudinal tracking.
Periodic surveys don't justify subscriptions. $2/GB with a never-expiring balance fits sporadic fieldwork.

Pin a sticky -session-
Collecting publicly displayed prices and content is standard competitive intelligence. Respect each site's terms, don't harvest personal data, and keep request rates reasonable.
No card required. Test your setup on real residential IPs, then pay only for what you use at $2/GB.
