How much do proxies cost?

For an exact 50 GB residential purchase, the eight conflict-free plan rows in our data that have a published 50 GB checkout tier and a source we can still reach cost from $34.65 to $250 total, or from $0.693 to $5 per GB. The low end is GeoNode’s geonode-residential-monthly; the high end is Rayobyte’s rayobyte-residential-monthly. Both prices, and every plan in the range below, were observed on 2026-07-25. A ninth row, PIA S5 Proxy’s, is held out of the range and shown separately, because its pricing source could not be read on 2026-07-29.

That is a narrow answer on purpose. A proxy price is only comparable when the product type, purchase quantity, billing unit, checkout total and source state match. A per-IP subscription cannot honestly sit inside a per-GB range. Neither can an unlimited plan, a quote-only offer or a plan whose vendor pages disagree.

The underlying dataset contains 710 plan rows from 47 providers, with vendor evidence retrieved on 2026-07-25. Of those rows, 136 are marked comparable per GB and 574 are not. The figures on this page use the stricter subset that also has an exact 50 GB tier with a published total, is not marked conflicting, and has a vendor source that has not since become unreadable. The complete row set, including the excluded plans, is listed on the the plan data page with its source state and observed date.

The observed 50 GB residential checkout range

These are all eight rows that produced the answer above. The rate is published checkout total / 50 GB; it is not a vendor’s lowest advertised rate borrowed from a larger tier. The row that was held out of the range is directly beneath the table, with its state, rather than deleted.

With eight rows there is no single middle row. The two central checkouts are Proxy-Seller at $115 and Webshare at $122.50, both observed 2026-07-25. We do not average them into a median, because a mid-point between two products is not a price anyone can buy. Proxy-Seller source, retrieved 2026-07-25 · Webshare source, retrieved 2026-07-25

Expiry is part of the answer, not a footnote. GeoNode and DataImpulse publish non-expiring traffic for these rows. Evomi and Shifter publish a 30-day window. Four other rows do not publish an expiry state in the evidence we collected. A missing value does not mean the traffic never expires.

One further row belongs to this panel on plan shape and cannot be shown as a price.

Why there is no honest single range for every proxy

The 710 rows use several billing models. The counts below come directly from each row’s pricing_model; the named row is an example of the plans behind that count. This inventory was observed on 2026-07-25.

This is the part most price ranges erase. A buyer comparing datacenter proxies may be choosing between dollars per IP, a flat unlimited subscription, a traffic tier and a custom quote. Dividing every one of those by an assumed traffic amount would create a number the vendor never sells.

The data also contains 103 plan rows with no public price. They span 29 providers, including the named bright-data-residential-enterprise-over-1-tb, oxylabs-isp-semi-dedicated-enterprise-2-000-ips, decodo-residential-enterprise-custom, massive-residential-enterprise-custom and zyte-api-enterprise rows. They remain in the comparison as “Not published” rather than disappearing from the denominator. Their full IDs and vendor links are on the the plan data page, observed 2026-07-25.

Another 98 rows are marked conflicting because one vendor’s own pages disagree. Those rows are not allowed to set a cheapest-price claim. Examples include iproyal-datacenter-30d, evomi-isp-shared, proxyscrape-mobile-non-expiry, live-proxies-residential-200ip-30d and scrapeless-residential. Each row publishes both conflicting sources on the the plan data page, observed 2026-07-25.

What the ranking pages omit

AIMultiple’s proxy pricing page, retrieved 2026-07-26, opens with a residential range of $3 to $15 per GB and says Decodo leads at every tested volume. That is not an exact checkout answer. In our exact 50 GB panel, five named rows sit below its $3 lower bound: GeoNode, DataImpulse, ThorData, Proxy-Seller and Webshare. Their observed rates are shown in the table above with the checkout totals that produce them. The held-out PIA S5 Proxy row sat below that bound on the 2026-07-25 record as well, and it is not counted here, because a figure whose source we cannot read is not evidence against anyone else’s range.

The same AIMultiple page says Decodo’s 10 GB entry price is $55. The current decodo-residential-3-gb ladder in our dataset publishes a 10 GB threshold at $3.50 per GB, which computes to $35 for 10 GB, observed on 2026-07-25.

That mismatch is why the date and plan ID belong beside the figure. A remembered range can be directionally useful, but it cannot tell a buyer what will leave their account now.

The practical answer

Start with the unit the product is actually sold in. If the plan is traffic-priced, compare the cheapest published checkout configuration that covers the volume you will use before expiry. If it is per IP, compare it with other per-IP plans at the required IP count. Keep unlimited and concurrency plans in their own units. Sink quote-only, not-published and conflicting rows instead of estimating them.

For the specific, reproducible 50 GB residential question, the answer remains $34.65 to $250 across the eight named checkout tiers observed on 2026-07-25 whose sources we can still reach. For a different type, volume, expiry need or billing unit, the plan set changes, so the number must be computed again. GeoNode source · Rayobyte source, both retrieved 2026-07-25
