IPRoyal Pricing Breakdown: How Much Does It Really Cost in 2026?

IPRoyal sells several products with different billing units: rotating residential traffic by the gigabyte, rotating mobile traffic by the gigabyte, dedicated mobile access by proxy and time, ISP and datacenter IPs by proxy and term, and Web Unblocker by successful request. That makes a single “IPRoyal price” misleading.

The most important distinction is between an advertised from rate and the payment a buyer can make at the required volume. This guide uses exact public packages where IPRoyal publishes them, identifies dashboard-only prices, and explains the renewal, traffic, fair-use, and product conditions that can change the final cost.

Quick Answer

IPRoyal's lowest public residential payment is $7 for a 1GB subscription or $7.35 for 1GB PAYG. Its advertised $1.75/GB residential rate requires a 10TB subscription purchase, or $17,500 at full published volume. The public 10GB subscription costs $52.50; exact 25GB, 100GB, and 500GB totals are calculated inside the authenticated dashboard and are not disclosed on the public pricing page.

Rotating mobile traffic starts with a publicly displayed 2GB package for $13.60 and renews every 30 days; unused traffic does not carry into the next cycle. Dedicated mobile access starts at a location-dependent $10.11 for 24 hours or $130 for 30 days. ISP proxies advertise rates from $1.80 per proxy for 24 hours, while datacenter rates start at $1.57 per proxy for 30 days. Both ISP and datacenter orders are subject to a 100GB-per-proxy allowance per 30-day cycle. Web Unblocker starts at $1 for 1,000 successful requests.

IPRoyal is particularly attractive for very small residential purchases, long requested sticky sessions, current ISP or datacenter availability, and buyers who want raw proxies plus a separately billed managed-access option. For one verified residential comparison, a 10GB IPRoyal subscription costs $52.50, while Proxidize's $25 plan includes 25GB. The mobile comparison in this guide covers U.S. Mobile Per GB workloads; Proxidize's separate Mobile Per Proxy product requires a different comparison.

Key Takeaways

• The $1.75/GB residential headline is a 10TB rate. The public subscription prices are $7 for 1GB, $11.90 for 2GB, and $52.50 for 10GB.
• IPRoyal accepts custom residential amounts, but it does not publish every custom price. A buyer must check the dashboard for the current 25GB, 100GB, and 500GB totals rather than multiply those volumes by either the 10GB or 10TB rate.
• Residential subscription and PAYG are not the same commitment. Subscription is 5% cheaper and renews automatically; PAYG is intended for one-time purchases. IPRoyal markets residential traffic as non-expiring under standard conditions, although account activity requirements can apply.
• Rotating mobile traffic uses a different expiration rule. It renews every 30 days, and unused traffic does not move into the next cycle.
• The Proxidize Mobile Per GB comparison in this guide is U.S.-only. Proxidize also offers Mobile Per Proxy, but its per-proxy allocation and fair-use conditions should not be compared as though they were traffic-priced pool access.
• Dedicated mobile, ISP, and datacenter prices are per proxy, not per gigabyte. Location, duration, quantity, add-ons, and fair-use rules can change the real payment.
• ISP and datacenter access includes 100GB per proxy per 30-day cycle. Extra traffic is sold separately and expires with the current cycle.
• Web Unblocker is a managed-access product, not a raw proxy package. Its public prices are based on successful requests and should not be compared directly with residential bandwidth.

Methodology and disclosure: Proxidize publishes this article and competes with IPRoyal. We checked IPRoyal's public pricing, product, documentation, and Help Center pages on September 17, 2026. Calculations are labeled as calculations. We did not purchase every plan, access account-specific checkout pricing, obtain a custom quote, or run a matched performance benchmark. Prices can change and may exclude applicable taxes or account-specific terms. For a market-wide view, see the Proxy Pricing Index 2026.

IPRoyal Pricing at a Glance

These products are not interchangeable. Ten gigabytes from a rotating residential pool, one static ISP IP, one dedicated mobile access point, and 10,000 managed requests solve different problems. Choose the product first, then compare its payment and operating model.

IPRoyal vs. Proxidize: Three Early Price Checks

The comparisons below use exact public prices for specific purchase requirements. They compare payments and included capacity, not performance, usable-result rates, or access to a particular target.

The mobile row compares shared, traffic-priced access for a U.S. workload. Current Proxidize Mobile Per GB documentation says the product is available in the United States. Proxidize also offers Mobile Per Proxy, a mobile model billed per proxy, with individual rotation controls and separate assignment and fair-use terms. It needs a separate per-proxy comparison rather than the per-GB table used here.

Why IPRoyal's “From” Price Is Not the Starting Payment

A from rate is the lowest unit price available somewhere on a pricing curve. It does not necessarily describe the smallest order.

IPRoyal's residential page illustrates the difference clearly:

The $17,500 and $18,400 figures are simple rate-times-volume calculations from IPRoyal's published cards. They do not include taxes, coupons, account-specific pricing, or a negotiated enterprise quote.

The same caveat applies to proxy-count products. “From $1.39/proxy” does not reveal the number of proxies required, the location selected, add-on costs, or the full term payment. Treat the displayed rate as a comparison input, not a final quote.

IPRoyal Residential Proxy Pricing

IPRoyal's residential pricing page offers subscription and PAYG purchase paths. The subscription applies a 5% discount and renews automatically. PAYG costs slightly more and is intended for one-time purchases.

Public Residential Packages

The page labels 10TB as the volume at which the lowest custom rate becomes available. It does not publish the intervening discount curve.

What Does IPRoyal Cost at 10GB, 25GB, 100GB, and 500GB?

IPRoyal's residential quick-start guide confirms that buyers can enter a custom amount of traffic, but it does not provide the prices returned for these quantities. A public comparison therefore cannot state IPRoyal's exact 25GB, 100GB, or 500GB cost without current checkout evidence. The 10GB price and 10TB rate are valid published anchors; neither reveals the tiers between them.

Subscription vs. PAYG

The subscription saves 5% relative to PAYG and renews automatically. IPRoyal's subscription documentation says a buyer can increase the subscribed amount directly. Reducing it requires canceling the current subscription and starting another. Payment-card changes should be made at least one hour before renewal.

PAYG avoids automatic monthly purchases. IPRoyal says residential traffic remains available until used under standard conditions, but its Help Center also notes that account activity requirements can apply. Check the policy shown in the account rather than treating “non-expiring” as an unconditional promise for every account state.

The choice is therefore not only a 5% calculation:

• Choose subscription when the traffic recurs and automatic renewal is acceptable.
• Choose PAYG when the purchase is occasional and avoiding renewal matters more than the discount.
• Confirm how traffic bought through a subscription is treated after cancellation before relying on it for a long-term balance.

Features and Conditions That Affect Residential Value

IPRoyal includes country, state, and city selection, rotating and sticky behavior, HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 support, username/password authentication, IP allowlisting, and usage reporting. Its requested sticky TTL ranges from one second to seven days, but the provider explains that an underlying residential exit can disconnect before the requested period ends.

Two access conditions are easy to miss:

1. The “High-end Pool” setting documented in the quick-start guide is available only with an active subscription.
2. IPRoyal's location documentation says specific ISP selection requires verified identity and at least $1,000 in account spending.

Those conditions may matter more than the nominal per-GB difference for a team that needs a specific location or network.

Residential Trials and Refunds

IPRoyal does not advertise a general free residential trial. Its quick-start guide says verified companies can request an Enterprise trial; other buyers can test with the 1GB PAYG purchase.

The current residential refund policy is conditional. Connectivity or unresolved service issues generally need to be reported within 24 hours. A late-canceled subscription charge may be eligible within 72 hours when none of the new allocation has been used. Consuming more than 100MB of a new allocation can make a data plan ineligible. Read the live policy before using a purchase as a test budget.

IPRoyal Mobile Proxy Pricing

IPRoyal sells two different mobile products:

• Rotating mobile: access to a shared pool, billed by traffic on a 30-day subscription.
• Dedicated mobile: an access allocation reserved for one customer, billed by proxy and time period.

The word dedicated does not mean the exit IP can never change. IPRoyal documents manual and interval-based rotation for dedicated mobile proxies, and says each dedicated access point rotates dynamically across the available IPs.

Rotating Mobile Pricing

The mobile pricing page displays these packages:

The Help Center says buyers can enter a custom amount and describes a one-gigabyte minimum. However, the current public pricing page starts with the 2GB card and does not show an exact 1GB total. The safest distinction is:

• Lowest publicly calculable package: $13.60 for 2GB.
• Potential dashboard minimum: 1GB, with the current exact checkout price to confirm in the account.

Rotating mobile orders renew every 30 days. IPRoyal's mobile traffic documentation says unused traffic does not carry into the next cycle. Auto top-up can add traffic at a chosen threshold, creating additional charges before renewal. Saving a payment card incurs a one-time $1 charge that IPRoyal says is added to the account balance.

Dedicated Mobile Pricing

Multiplying the displayed monthly equivalents produces $247 for 60 days and $351 for 90 days, but the public page does not clearly state whether that entire calculated amount is collected upfront in every checkout. Use the order summary, not the monthly equivalent alone, for cash-flow planning.

IPRoyal's mobile-product FAQ states that dedicated mobile access has a 30GB daily data limit per proxy. Include that constraint in any high-volume budget and confirm the current limit for the intended order before purchase.

All mobile orders are subscriptions by default. Active dedicated orders can be extended; once an order expires, IPRoyal says it cannot be renewed or extended. Location availability and pricing can differ, so the from rate is not a promise that every requested location costs the same.

IPRoyal ISP Proxy Pricing

IPRoyal's ISP product supplies dedicated, static IPs and charges by proxy and term rather than by pool traffic. Its ISP pricing page displays:

IPRoyal says one ISP proxy can be purchased. That makes $1.80 the lowest nominal public payment for a one-day order before location-specific pricing or optional requirements. The longer-term cards show per-proxy starting rates, but the public text is not sufficiently explicit about every term total. Confirm the complete order summary in the dashboard.

The base price includes one source device or IP per proxy. IPRoyal's device-access documentation says multi-device access is sold for 3, 5, or 10 additional source IPs, with each additional IP priced at 50% of the order fee. Optional custom requirements can also add an undisclosed charge.

ISP Fair-Use Allowance

IPRoyal's fair-use policy says each ISP proxy contributes 100GB to a pooled allowance per 30-day cycle. Two proxies therefore provide a 200GB order-level pool. When a dedicated ISP order reaches the pool limit, the proxies remain available at reduced speed for the rest of the cycle.

Extra traffic becomes purchasable after 85% of the allowance is consumed:

The add-on applies to every proxy in the order. For example, the 100GB option on a 10-proxy order adds 1TB and costs $25. Extra traffic lasts only for the current 30-day cycle and does not carry forward.

IPRoyal Datacenter Proxy Pricing

The datacenter pricing page displays these starting rates:

IPRoyal's current support content is inconsistent about the minimum quantity. An older product-specific FAQ says five datacenter proxies, while a newer dedicated-versus-shared guide says one proxy. Because the difference changes the smallest payment from $1.57 to at least $7.85 on a 30-day order, verify the live dashboard minimum before publication and purchase.

IPRoyal's fair-use policy applies the same 100GB-per-proxy, per-30-day structure to datacenter orders. The allowance is pooled across the order. Dedicated proxies continue at reduced speed after the pooled threshold; shared variants can become unavailable until the cycle resets. The same extra-data prices and expiration rules apply.

The product is sold by IP rather than by access to a rotating residential pool. Its low per-proxy price can be attractive for high-volume targets that accept hosting-network IPs, but price alone does not establish target compatibility or usable-result cost.

IPRoyal Web Unblocker Pricing

IPRoyal Web Unblocker manages more of the access process than a raw proxy. It rotates routes, retries failed retrievals, and bills successful requests. The current Web Unblocker pricing page lists:

The Web Unblocker guide says the product is billed separately from other proxy products and currently supports GET requests for scraping traffic. A successful-request price is not comparable to a raw residential price without defining the same target, output, retry responsibility, rendering requirement, and validation rule.

If you are deciding how much of the collection stack to operate, read Raw Proxies vs. Scraping APIs. A managed request can cost more than proxy traffic while still lowering total operating cost—or the reverse—depending on the workload.

IPRoyal vs. Proxidize Pricing

The closest comparison is raw rotating residential and traffic-priced mobile access. IPRoyal also sells ISP, datacenter, and managed-access products that Proxidize does not currently match as one-for-one public offers.

Residential Cost Comparison

Proxidize Residential Proxy pricing is $1/GB from a $25, 25GB monthly plan through 1TB, with lower published rates at larger volumes. Unused residential bandwidth rolls over and remains available. KYC is required.

These numbers show purchase economics, not network performance. IPRoyal can be the better fit when the buyer wants a 1GB or 2GB starting order, a requested sticky TTL of up to seven days, optional identity verification for ordinary access, or several proxy types in one account. Proxidize is a strong fit when a $25 starting payment is acceptable and the buyer wants a clear public rate for self-managed scraping, browser automation, monitoring, or AI data collection.

U.S. Rotating Mobile Per GB Cost Comparison

This table compares shared, traffic-priced mobile access for U.S. workloads. It does not compare IPRoyal's dedicated mobile product with Proxidize Mobile Per Proxy.

Proxidize Mobile Proxy pricing uses a flat $2/GB rate on public Per GB plans, beginning at $50 for 25GB. That mobile allowance expires after one month. Current Proxidize Mobile Per GB documentation limits this comparison to the United States. IPRoyal also uses a 30-day subscription for rotating mobile traffic, does not carry unused traffic into the next cycle, and publicly markets international mobile coverage.

Proxidize also offers Mobile Per Proxy, a mobile model billed per proxy, with individual rotation controls and separate assignment and fair-use terms. Compare those terms separately with IPRoyal's dedicated mobile product. For non-U.S. mobile work, verify IPRoyal's exact location inventory and do not apply the Proxidize Per GB prices unless current documentation confirms the required market.

When IPRoyal Fits Better

IPRoyal may be the better purchase when:

• You need only 1GB or 2GB of residential traffic and want the smallest cash outlay.
• You value a requested residential sticky TTL of up to seven days.
• You need a currently available ISP or datacenter product.
• You want a separately billed managed-access product for successful GET requests.
• You prefer one dashboard spanning several raw and managed product types.

When Proxidize Fits Better

Proxidize may be the better purchase when:

• Your team already operates the HTTP client, scraper, browser, extraction, retries, and validation.
• A $25 residential starting payment is acceptable.
• You want exact public residential pricing at 25GB, 100GB, and 500GB.
• You want paid residential bandwidth to roll forward.
• You need straightforward HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 integration plus dashboard and API control.
• You want lower public traffic prices for the compared U.S. Mobile Per GB packages.

Seven Billing Conditions to Check Before Buying

1. Subscription Renewal

Residential subscription, rotating mobile, dedicated mobile, ISP, and datacenter orders can renew automatically. Turning off renewal does not reverse a completed purchase. Review the next billing date and payment method in the dashboard.

2. Traffic Expiration

Residential traffic is marketed as remaining available under standard conditions, subject to account activity rules. Rotating mobile traffic expires at the end of its 30-day cycle. ISP and datacenter base allowances reset every 30 days, and extra traffic expires with the current cycle.

3. Minimum Purchase vs. Unit Rate

The cheapest unit rate may require a large purchase. Record both the amount charged today and the included quantity. A $1.75/GB headline is irrelevant to a 10GB buyer paying $52.50.

4. Location and Access Eligibility

Available cities, states, ISPs, and mobile locations vary by product. Some controls require identity verification or account history. Verify the intended selector before assuming it is included.

5. Add-Ons

Multi-device access, optional custom requirements, extra traffic, coupons, and account-specific configurations can change checkout. IPRoyal does not publish every add-on price on the main product cards.

6. Payment and Identity Verification

IPRoyal accepts cards, supported cryptocurrencies, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Alipay. Its payment documentation says PayPal requires identity verification. The broader KYC policy describes identity verification as optional but useful for wider access; suspicious or restricted use can trigger further review.

7. Refund Eligibility

Refund windows and usage thresholds differ by product. Crypto payments are generally not returned to the original payment method. Treat refund terms as a narrow remedy for qualifying issues, not a substitute for a free trial.

How to Calculate IPRoyal's Real Cost for Web Scraping

The provider invoice is only one part of a scraping budget. A useful comparison keeps the required output constant:

For raw residential proxies, retries and browser assets increase bandwidth. For Web Unblocker, successful requests are the billing event, but your team may still need parsing and validation. For ISP or datacenter IPs, the base fee is predictable until the fair-use pool, extra access, or add-ons matter.

Run a small, lawful test on representative public pages and record:

• Bytes transferred through the proxy.
• Scheduled attempts and retries.
• Validated results, not only HTTP status codes.
• Median and p95 time to a usable result.
• Browser or runner compute.
• Engineering and maintenance time.
• Provider charges, renewal dates, and unused allowance.

Then compare total cost per validated output. A low per-GB rate is not good value if the workflow transfers unnecessary assets or produces unusable pages; a managed request price is not good value if the same pages are easy to collect with a lightweight HTTP client.

Final Verdict: Is IPRoyal Worth It?

IPRoyal is worth shortlisting when its product breadth or small starting purchases match the workload. It offers a genuine 1GB residential entry, a long requested sticky window, traffic that generally remains available until used, current ISP and datacenter products, two distinct mobile models, and a request-priced managed-access option. Buyers needing an exact residential budget between the public 10GB and 10TB anchors should obtain the current dashboard total rather than infer a missing tier.

Proxidize is worth shortlisting when the team owns the scraper, browser, or data pipeline and a $25 residential minimum is acceptable. In the verified 10GB example, IPRoyal charges $52.50 by subscription, while Proxidize charges $25 for a 25GB plan. The mobile figures in this guide compare U.S. Per GB workloads only; Mobile Per Proxy is a separate purchase decision.

The right choice still depends on target compatibility, location, session behavior, operational effort, and cost per validated result—not price alone. For broader context, compare the best IPRoyal alternatives, residential proxy pricing, and the Proxy Pricing Index 2026. Teams that already operate their own collection stack can also explore Proxidize Residential Proxies and compare the public plan with the IPRoyal dashboard quote for the same requirement.
