1GB residential at $1.75/GB — $1.75 total on published pricing. Per-GB floor, not a monthly seat.

Separate proxy lines — confirm live GB rates. Not the $1.75 residential floor.

Larger GB packs on published pricing — still metered; never-expires is unused-traffic packaging.

Decision snapshot
Entity field audit 89/100
IPRoyal sells residential, ISP, datacenter, and mobile proxies with a published residential floor from $1.75/GB. Traffic is marketed as never expiring. startingPriceMonthly $1.75 is that per-GB floor (a 1GB pack equivalent), not a monthly SaaS seat. Same web-data-collection cluster as Bright Data. Bright Data remains the award (7.7); this entity does not outrank it. Budget / SMB proxy peer of ThorData and Decodo (Smartproxy) — thinner enterprise compliance and platform depth than Bright Data / Oxylabs.
Best for
- Teams that need a low published residential GB floor
- Buyers comparing $1.75/GB to ThorData $2/GB and Decodo $3.75/GB starters
- Projects that will validate quality/compliance before production volume
- solo / operations: IPRoyal fit for solo operations teams in the web-data-collection job cluster, from first-party positioning and IT Tier-B + ITSM SMB research.
Not ideal for
- Enterprises that require Bright Data / Oxylabs compliance-first proxy estates
- Managed extraction API buyers (Zyte / ScraperAPI)
- Hosting or ITSM purchases
- Does not outrank Bright Data (7.7)
Key tradeoffs
- Does not outrank Bright Data (7.7)
- Brand maturity and enterprise compliance story are thinner than Bright Data / Oxylabs
- $1.75/GB is metered — never-expires unused traffic is not unlimited scrape throughput
- Not a managed scraping API (Zyte / ScraperAPI) or Actor platform (Apify)

Our verdict
Choose IPRoyal when a published $1.75/GB residential floor is the job — not Bright Data enterprise commits by default.

Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-18 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, host/GB rates and minimums on the vendor site before purchase.
