Release-day traffic gets filtered hard: retailers drop datacenter ASNs at the door and rate-limit everything that doesn't look like a home connection. Roam exits are real residential broadband IPs, so each task carries the footprint retailers expect — with sticky sessions to keep cart and checkout on one IP.
Residential ASNs that pass retailer network checks — not relabelled datacenter ranges.

Drop tasks use little traffic. $2/GB beats paying $3+ per proxy for a one-day release.

Leftover balance never expires. It's still there for the next release — or any other workload.
Release-day anti-bot filters classify by ASN first: datacenter ranges are blocked outright and ISP ranges are increasingly fingerprinted. Residential exits come from actual home connections — the traffic profile retailers must let through.
With per-GB billing the question changes: run as many sticky sessions as you have tasks, and pay only for traffic used. A typical checkout flow uses a few MB — even 50 tasks usually costs well under a dollar in traffic.

Retailers set their own purchase terms; some restrict automated purchasing. Roam provides network infrastructure — review the retailer's terms and use the network responsibly.
No card required. Test your setup on real residential IPs, then pay only for what you use at $2/GB.
