Platform-locked vs full-access: how our two plan shapes work

Why platform-locked lines cost less, what full-access adds — every target, the rotation API, both ports — and how to pick the right shape for your operation.

Our catalog has exactly two shapes of plan, and the difference confuses enough buyers that it deserves a straight explanation. Platform-locked plans dedicate a line to one platform you choose at checkout. Full-access plans work with any destination and add rotation control. Same real-SIM 4G lines, same unlimited data — different scope. Here's how each works and when each is the right buy.

What locked to one platform means

When you buy a locked plan you pick a platform at checkout — Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, X, whichever — and we provision and tune the line for that job. It's still a private line yours alone; the lock is on the destination, not on the quality. The locked lineup runs from PLATFORM in the EU at $34.90 and INCREDIBLE in the US at $59.90 up through ROTATING at $39.90 and TREMENDOUS at $79.90, which add auto-rotation and both HTTP + SOCKS5 ports.

Why locked is cheaper

Honest answer: because you're buying less scope, not less line. A locked plan skips the things multi-target work needs — the on-demand rotation API and the freedom to point the line anywhere — and the entry tiers keep it to a single HTTP port with natural carrier-driven rotation. For a line whose whole job is being one account's permanent home address, those are features you'd never call anyway. You pay for what the job uses, which is why the per-account math holds up as your operation grows.

What full-access adds

  • Every platform and website — no destination lock at all.
  • On-demand rotation plus a personal API rotation link your scripts can call.
  • Both ports, HTTP and SOCKS5, side by side.
  • FULL-ACCESS (EU) at $59.90 and YUGE (US) at $98 with priority support — and the professional VPN and MULTI-SIM products are full-access by design.

When a locked line is the right call

  • One account, one platform, one line — the standard play in our playbooks. An Instagram identity has no use for Reddit access.
  • Scaling account counts: with locked lines starting at $34.90 in the EU and $59.90 in the US, giving every account its own dedicated mobile IP stays affordable.
  • Set-and-forget workloads where the target never changes and nobody scripts rotation.

When you want full access

  • Scraping and data collection across changing targets — scripted rotation through the API link is the whole workflow.
  • Agencies running mixed platforms who'd rather standardize one plan shape across clients.
  • Sneaker and e-commerce setups: checkout lanes want full access with both ports and rotation on tap.
  • Anything where tomorrow's target isn't known today.

You're not boxed in

Two escape hatches worth knowing. Platform changes on a locked line are usually possible — message support and we'll re-lock the line to the new platform. And moving up to a full-access shape is a normal request, not a cancel-and-rebuy drama. Start with the shape that matches today's workload and adjust when the workload changes.

The short version: buy locked when the line serves one account on one platform — which describes most social operations — and buy full-access when you concretely need the rotation API or multi-target freedom. If you're unsure, you're probably the first case.
