Benin has two per-GB plans. Resi Prime lands requests in Cotonou, Porto-Novo or Abomey on a stable address lasting up to a day; Resi Core goes through home IPs from Cotonou to Parakou. The money sits on one balance, and traffic can be spent over three months.


Pool figures as of October 2026, rounded down.
Benin is home to about 13.6 million people, most of them in the south by the ocean. Cotonou and Abomey-Calavi form the main urban area, where business and the internet gather. People book rides and deliveries in Gozem and pay with MTN MoMo and Moov Money.
The country is split into 12 departments with 77 communes inside them. The south with Cotonou, Porto-Novo and Ouidah is densely settled, and the north with Parakou and Natitingou has more space. The map marks all twelve.
Resi Prime knows three Beninese cities: Cotonou, Porto-Novo and Abomey. The rest of the country goes through the code BJ on Resi Core.
MTN and Moov Africa share the cellular market, and the state-owned Celtiis sells fiber and mobile internet. Resi Prime has seven networks, each targeted through its AS number.

Resi Core covers listings, news and country-wide search. For rides, maps and accounts with a fixed address, take Resi Prime with Cotonou.
Monthly use. A small market, so a small first package.
Phone and car prices in Cotonou change every week. A daily crawl without images takes about 5 GB.
Cotonou brands sell through Facebook and TikTok. A home IP from the country shows the ads a local user sees.
Businesses in Cotonou and Porto-Novo compete for the same queries. Put the city into Resi Prime and you'll see the local ranking.
Time zone Africa/Porto-Novo and language fr-BJ. A session ID ties the profile to one Beninese IP for up to a day.

Benin connects to the world through undersea cables along the coast. Cable cuts off the West African coast in March 2024 left Benin with slow links for days. Keep request retries on and a timeout from 20 seconds.
Almost every local platform and news outlet writes in French. Set the language to fr-BJ, or some sites will serve the version for France.
Beninese addresses are rare in the open list. Test code against the general list and send real requests through a paid IP.
Benin's Digital Code has applied since 2018 and includes personal data protection, overseen by the APDP authority. Prices and listings are open; collecting data on people requires a legal basis.
There aren't many Beninese addresses in the open list. For a nearby exit, look at Togo or Nigeria.

All countries and plansCotonou, Porto-Novo and Abomey. Other cities are reachable only through Resi Core rotation with the code BJ.
A Resi Core gigabyte costs from $0.49, a Resi Prime gigabyte from $1.39. Both plans pay from one balance; details are on the pricing page.
Gozem and CoinAfrique show prices for their own country. Nigeria has separate Nigerian proxies, and for Benin use the code BJ.
The fare depends on the city, so you need Resi Prime with Cotonou. Resi Core is enough for catalogs and news.
UTC+1, Africa/Porto-Novo in the profile, language fr-BJ. The anonymity check helps match the profile to the address.
Create an account, top up and enter BJ in the line. Both per-GB plans spend the common account, and purchased gigabytes keep for three months.
