Indicative residential-proxy pricing as last reviewed 6 August 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.

How to read this. $/GB pay-as-you-go is what you pay with no commitment, best for testing and small jobs. $/GB at volume is the floor on a monthly commitment, often less than half. But the cheapest per GB is not always cheapest overall: on protected sites, low-quality pools get blocked and you burn GB on retries, so success rate matters as much as price. Budget providers suit easy targets; premium networks (Bright Data, Oxylabs) justify their price on the hardest sites.
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.
