IPRoyal is a mid-market proxy provider best known for one thing: bandwidth that never expires on its pay-as-you-go residential plans.
What it does well
Non-expiring traffic. Buy a gigabyte, use it in six months, and it is still there, which is genuinely rare and suits irregular workloads where a monthly subscription wastes most of what you pay for. The pool covers most countries with city and ISP targeting available.
It also sells datacenter, mobile and sneaker proxies alongside residential, so one account covers several use cases.
What it costs
Pay-as-you-go residential runs roughly $4.90 to $7.35 per GB depending on volume, which is not cheap per gigabyte. Subscription pricing drops considerably, to around $1.75 per GB at higher commitments, so the right choice depends entirely on whether your usage is steady or sporadic.
Where it falls short
Pay-as-you-go per-gigabyte rates are higher than Decodo's, so the non-expiring benefit only pays off if your usage really is irregular. Success rates on the most heavily protected targets trail the largest providers. The dashboard is functional rather than pleasant.
Who it's for
Developers and small teams with bursty, unpredictable proxy needs, where unused subscription bandwidth would otherwise be money burned. For steady high-volume scraping, Decodo is cheaper per gigabyte.
