Cheap proxies are proxy plans priced for volume rather than prestige: you pay per gigabyte, skip subscriptions and seats, and choose the least expensive network type that your target websites tolerate. Our rates start at $0.20/GB for IPv6, $0.50/GB for datacenter and $0.80/GB for real residential IPs — with bandwidth that never expires.
Here are our real entry prices, not teaser rates: IPv6 bandwidth starts at $0.20/GB and drops under $0.10/GB on multi-terabyte plans. Datacenter traffic runs from $0.50/GB on volume plans, with a 10 GB trial at $8. Residential Basic gives you genuine home IPs from $0.80/GB, premium residential with city-level targeting is a flat $2.50/GB, mobile 4G/5G bandwidth reaches $2.50/GB at volume, and dedicated ISP proxies cost $2.50 per static IP per month with unmetered usage. Every figure matches the public plan list — what you see is what checkout charges.
The art of buying cheap proxies is matching the network to the target. If the site supports IPv6 — Google, YouTube, Facebook and about half the major web — IPv6 at $0.20/GB is unbeatable, and our free IPv6 compatibility checker tells you in seconds. If the target barely defends itself (many SERP tools, monitors, internal jobs), datacenter at $0.50/GB is the workhorse. When you hit IP-reputation walls, step up to Residential Basic at $0.80/GB: real home addresses in 200+ countries. Reserve premium residential and mobile bandwidth for the genuinely hard targets, and you will cut your proxy bill by half or more.
Budget tiers here are cheap because the routing is leaner, not because the addresses are recycled junk. Residential Basic draws from the same 80M+ ethically sourced pool as premium; datacenter ranges are spread across multiple /24 subnets so one ban doesn't sink the batch; IPv6 supply is so vast that exhaustion isn't a factor. You give up targeting granularity and priority routing on the budget tiers — you do not give up IP quality, the 99.9% uptime SLA, or 24/7 support.
Every plan is prepaid bandwidth or a flat per-IP price: no monthly platform fees, no per-thread licenses, no auto-renewing subscription to cancel. Purchased gigabytes never expire, so a one-time $50 top-up can quietly power a monitoring job for a year. Concurrent connections are unlimited on all plans, and you can pay by card, PayPal or cryptocurrency.
Free proxy lists cost more than they save: the IPs are shared with thousands of strangers, most are already blacklisted, uptime is random, and the operator can read your traffic. A paid entry plan removes all four problems for less than the price of a coffee — a single dedicated ISP proxy is $2.50/month and 1 GB of residential traffic is $4. If budget is the constraint, buy small and cheap rather than free: you keep authentication, clean reputation and support.
Every proxy type trades off trust, speed and cost differently. Here is how our five networks compare, so you can match the proxy type to the job.
| Proxy type | IP source | Best for | Detection risk | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | Real home ISP connections | Web scraping, ad verification, geo-restricted content | Very low | From $2.50/GB |
| Residential Basic | Same residential pool, budget routing | Light scraping, SEO tools, price monitoring | Low | From $0.80/GB |
| Datacenter | Cloud and datacenter servers | High-volume scraping of low-protection targets | Moderate | From $0.50/GB |
| ISP (static residential) | ISP-registered IPs on datacenter lines | Account management, long sessions, sneaker drops | Very low | From $2.50/IP |
| Mobile | Real 4G/5G carrier networks | Social media, app testing, the toughest targets | Lowest | From $2.50/GB |
| IPv6 | Massive IPv6 subnets | Bulk operations on IPv6-ready websites | Low on supported sites | From $0.20/GB |
All plans include HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 support, username:password or IP-whitelist authentication, and the same dashboard and REST API.
IPv6 proxies are the cheapest per gigabyte — from $0.20/GB, under $0.10/GB at volume — because IPv6 addresses exist in practically unlimited supply. Datacenter proxies follow at $0.50/GB. Among real-home IPs, Residential Basic at $0.80/GB is the lowest-priced option.
A single /48 IPv6 subnet contains more addresses than the entire IPv4 internet, so supply is effectively infinite and prices collapse. The only constraint is that the target website must accept IPv6 connections — test any domain with our free IPv6 compatibility checker first.
Generally no. Free proxy lists are shared, mostly blacklisted, frequently offline, and the operator can inspect your traffic. For anything involving logins, payments or business data, a cheap paid proxy with authentication is the safer choice.
A single dedicated ISP proxy costs $2.50 per month, 1 GB of residential bandwidth costs $4, and the 10 GB datacenter trial is $8. There is no account fee or subscription — you only buy what you use.
Yes. Rotating and sticky sessions, HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 protocols, unlimited concurrent connections and API access are included on every plan, from the cheapest IPv6 tier to premium residential.
Yes — cryptocurrency is accepted alongside cards and PayPal, and crypto balance top-ups carry no VAT. Bandwidth bought with any payment method never expires.
Cheap proxies are a routing decision, not a compromise: match each target to the least expensive network it tolerates, pay only for the gigabytes you use, and let the bandwidth roll over forever. Start with the type that fits your workload — every plan shares the same dashboard, API and support.
