Best Proxy Providers: 6 Detailed Reviews

ProxyShare publishes a $9 rotating residential package for 10 GB over 30 days and a $85 package for 100 GB. The $0.90/GB figure requires the 10 GB purchase; it is not a one-GB pay-as-you-go rate. Its catalog also includes static residential, static datacenter and Long Acting ISP. A single static datacenter IP is $3 for ten days or $7.80 for 30 days; those per-IP terms are separate from rotating-residential traffic.

Country and city options, HTTP/SOCKS5 and sticky sessions are advertised for residential. The plan card also says “unlimited bandwidth” alongside a fixed GB allocation, so budget against the purchased traffic allowance. Public terms describe purchases as non-refundable, and a trial is sales-arranged rather than a verified general self-service tier. This makes the small $9 package the clearest way to test representative targets.

Novada lists rotating residential, mobile, rotating ISP and rotating datacenter traffic alongside static ISP and dedicated datacenter IPs. Its central price page advertises residential from $1.30/GB, rotating ISP from $0.65/GB and rotating datacenter from $0.50/GB. The residential detail page labels $1.30/GB “Enterprise” and does not expose a comparable small-purchase total in its public text. Do not budget a starter purchase at that headline without checking the dashboard.

Residential proxy traffic has 30-day validity; Novada says remaining traffic carries over when renewed before expiry. It advertises country/city targeting, HTTP(S) and rotating or sticky sessions. The same page describes sticky duration as both up to 120 minutes and one to 30 minutes, so verify the endpoint setting. Novada also sells Web Unblocker, Scraper API and Browser API, but their shared scraping credits are a different purchase from raw proxy GB. Trial messages differ by page, so confirm the offer attached to your account.

IPRoyal’s residential traffic does not expire, which can matter more than a low per-GB headline when requests are sporadic. One GB pay-as-you-go is $7.35; the 10 GB PAYG tier is $5.51 per GB, or $55.10 total. Its advertised $1.75/GB applies to a 10 TB subscription, not a small purchase. Subscription and PAYG tabs have different rates, so select the intended model before comparing providers.

The catalog also includes datacenter, ISP and mobile products with separate units. Residential supports rotation and sticky sessions with geographic controls. “Unlimited” wording on some fixed-IP products is subject to fair-use terms; current help material describes a 100 GB per-proxy pool over 30 days and different outcomes when that threshold is reached. For a low-volume project, calculate cost over the months you will actually use the balance.

Bright Data’s residential pricing page currently advertises $4/GB pay-as-you-go with coupon RESIGB50 against an $8/GB reference price. Coupon eligibility and duration should be confirmed at checkout. It offers country, state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting, plus datacenter and ISP products. Shared datacenter starts at $14 for ten IPs monthly; this cannot be directly compared with residential traffic priced by GB.

Web Unlocker and Browser API are separately billed managed products, not bundled automatically with a proxy network purchase. Its residential/mobile access involves an identity and use-case review according to the public pricing FAQ. The extensive controls are useful when location precision or workflow tooling outweigh a simple entry price, but published network and uptime figures are provider claims rather than independent target-level benchmarks.

Oxylabs publishes a clear residential ladder: Starter costs $30 monthly for 5 GB, Basic $100 for 20 GB, Advanced $500 for 125 GB and Corporate $2,500 for 1 TB. The included unit rates decrease from $6 to $2.50 per GB as commitment grows. VAT may apply. Dedicated datacenter, shared datacenter, shared ISP and mobile plans are separate products with their own IP or traffic units.

The provider advertises residential targeting down to city, state and ZIP, rotation/sticky control and 24/7 support. Its Web Scraper API is a separately billed managed extraction service. A 5 GB entry is more expensive than the smallest bundles here, but the public tier ladder helps a business forecast a recurring workload. Network-size, response-time and success claims still need verification on your own targets.
