Indicative residential-proxy pricing as last reviewed 11 July 2026; providers run frequent promos, confirm current rates. Prices are for the residential pool; datacentre and mobile proxies are priced differently. Use proxies lawfully and within each site's terms.
Cheapest residential proxy?
By pay-as-you-go, DataImpulse and PacketStream at ~$1/GB; IPRoyal reaches $1.75/GB at volume. Enterprise pools cost more per GB but win on success rate for tough targets. Sort by "$/GB at volume" for committed use.
Why the huge price range?
You pay for IP quality and success rate, not just bandwidth. Cheap pools get blocked more, so you waste GB retrying. For easy sites budget is fine; for Cloudflare-protected targets, premium usually pays off.
Pay-as-you-go or subscription?
PAYG for small or one-off jobs with no commitment. Steady scraping is much cheaper on a monthly plan, this tool shows both so you can compare.
