Methodology and pricing date

Bottom line
ProxySeller vs IPRoyal: quick verdict
These providers compete more directly than ProxySeller does with enterprise-first platforms. Both sell residential, datacenter, ISP and mobile access to individual users, developers, agencies and smaller businesses. ProxySeller’s advantage is price: its supplied list is lower at the directly comparable small residential tiers and its static catalog starts well below IPRoyal’s public per-IP rates.
IPRoyal’s advantage is product polish and transparency. Residential traffic never expires, sticky sessions can last up to seven days, sourcing through Pawns.app is documented, and Web Unblocker automates common scraping obstacles. IPRoyal also offers custom bulk residential pricing from $1.75/GB, which can reverse the price comparison for large negotiated purchases.

Current costs
ProxySeller vs IPRoyal pricing
Public prices must be compared at matching units and terms. IPRoyal’s headline “from $1.75/GB” residential price is a custom bulk floor, not the price of its public 1 GB, 10 GB or 50 GB packages. The charts therefore use published package rates and keep per-GB products separate from per-IP products.
Residential price per GB
Published package rates. IPRoyal values use the 5%-off subscription column. Lower is cheaper.

| ProxySeller | 10 GB | $25 | $2.50/GB | Supplied package rate |
| ProxySeller | 50 GB | $115 | $2.30/GB | Supplied package rate |

Residential verdict: ProxySeller is substantially cheaper at the comparable public package sizes. IPRoyal can justify its premium with non-expiring PAYG traffic, longer sessions and a larger published pool, while custom bulk pricing may be cheaper than either provider’s public small plans.

Mobile proxy pricing
| Provider and model | Entry price | Longer or larger option | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| ProxySeller shared mobile | $20/IP for 30 days in selected countries | Location-specific multi-month discounts | Persistent, low-throughput shared access |
| ProxySeller dedicated mobile | From $25/IP in selected countries | Country prices reach $80/IP | Dedicated device-style endpoint at a lower listed floor |
| IPRoyal dedicated mobile | $10.11 for 24 hours | $130 for 30 days; effective $117/month on 90-day plan | High-speed dedicated SIM/device access |

ProxySeller’s shared plans list unlimited bandwidth, timed rotation and 2 Mbit/s. IPRoyal’s dedicated mobile product advertises zero bandwidth and session limits, up to 100 Mbps, instant IP switching and a reserved device, while its rotating mobile plan bills by GB. The correct comparison depends on whether you need one persistent mobile identity or large-scale rotating traffic.

Automation
Web scraping tools and developer experience
ProxySeller
ProxySeller’s API supports ordering, retrieving active proxies and managing residential packages, lists, rotation, traffic and subaccounts. It works well for teams that already operate their own crawler, retries, browser automation and parsing pipeline. MDN’s proxy and tunneling guide explains the distinction between forwarding requests through a proxy and creating a tunnel.
IPRoyal
IPRoyal offers raw proxy APIs plus Web Unblocker from $1 per 1,000 successful requests. The service can automate IP selection, retries, common CAPTCHA handling, browser fingerprints, custom headers, geo-targeting and optional JavaScript rendering through a backconnect endpoint.
Published claims
Performance and reliability
IPRoyal’s residential page advertises approximately 0.5-second response time, a 99.4% success rate and 99.9% uptime. Its ISP and datacenter products also advertise 99.9% uptime. ProxySeller emphasizes dedicated channels up to 1 Gbps for static proxies and high availability, while its supplied shared mobile plans specify 2 Mbit/s.
These figures should not be ranked as if they came from one test. Success rate depends on targets, request volume, location, session strategy and what each provider counts as success. The best provider is the one that returns more usable output per dollar on your actual workload.

Common questions

ProxySeller is generally better for low listed entry prices, dedicated IPv6 and flexible static or dedicated mobile inventory. IPRoyal is generally stronger for non-expiring residential traffic, seven-day sticky sessions, documented residential sourcing and its Web Unblocker.
Final verdict
Choose ProxySeller when the lowest public entry price, dedicated IPv6 or flexible static and mobile inventory matters most.
