# Cheap Proxies from $0.20/GB – All Types | QuantumProxies.io

Cheap proxies that actually work: IPv6 from $0.20/GB, datacenter from $0.50/GB, residential from $0.80/GB. Pay per GB, no subscriptions, crypto accepted.

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 is valid for 30 days.

## How Cheap Can a Reliable Proxy Get?

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.

## Pick the Cheapest Proxy Type That Still Does the Job

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.

## Why Cheap Doesn't Mean Burned IPs

Budget tiers here are cheap because the routing is leaner, not because the addresses are recycled junk. Residential Basic draws from the same 90M+ 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.

## Pay Per GB — No Subscriptions, No Seats, No Expiry

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. 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 Proxies vs Cheap Paid Proxies

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.

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. Start with the type that fits your workload — every plan shares the same dashboard, API and support.
