Cheapest proxy provider: compare fairly
We are not the cheapest at every volume, and no provider is. This page says where we are, shows other providers’ published prices with sources, and gives you a method that works on anyone.
Our list prices
| Line | Lowest entry | Best volume rate |
|---|---|---|
| Residential, per GB | $5.50 | $1.75 |
| Datacenter, per IP per month | $1.25 | $1.25+ see pricing |

Entry is one unit on the shared plan for 30 days. The full price list shows every volume rung and term.
Other providers’ published prices

Reading it honestly: some providers list a lower per-GB residential price than our entry rate. A lower number is only a lower cost if the traffic does not expire, the pool is clean enough to give you successful requests, and the price survives checkout and renewal.
A method that works on any provider
- Write down your volume: GB per month, or number of IPs and term.
- Find the price for exactly that configuration, at the last step before payment.
- Divide by successful requests on your own target, from a small test order, not by raw GB or IP count.
- Check renewal pricing, expiry and minimums.
The calculator does step 2 for our price list. The ten-minute test covers step 3.
