LightningProxies proxy pricing

Every LightningProxies plan we hold, priced in the unit it is actually sold in, with the source and date for each figure. Also known as Lightning Proxies.

What the pricing page does not put next to the price

Concurrent sessions: 1000
Sticky session, longest: Not published

These come from the provider's own documentation, FAQ or terms rather than its pricing page. They are the fields that decide what a plan really costs, which is why we collect them.

4 plans have no public price and are quoted on request. These stay listed rather than dropped, because a comparison that hides the awkward rows is not a comparison.

How LightningProxies compares with the rest of the market

What it publishes, against what the market publishes

Publishes a minimum checkout price, as do 41 of 47 providers.

Publishes a concurrent session limit, as do 25 of 47 providers.
Does not publish how bandwidth pools. 18 of 47 providers do, so this is a gap rather than a market norm.
Does not publish a maximum sticky session length. 23 of 47 providers do, so this is a gap rather than a market norm.

Terms LightningProxies publishes away from its pricing page

LightningProxies marks Unlimited Residential, Datacenter, and ISP proxy purchases as non-refundable and not exchangeable for credits. These product charges are final even when another general refund condition might appear applicable. source
LightningProxies offers no ISP free trial and directs buyers to start by purchasing one IP. ISP evaluation requires a paid minimum purchase rather than a zero-cost test. source

If you are comparing LightningProxies against something else

The lowest current checkouts we can calculate for the same proxy types, using a 50 GB need for traffic-priced plans and a 10 IP need for per-IP plans. Each result keeps the provider's actual one-time, monthly, or prepaid billing schedule.

Bright Data $14 for datacenter, Shared 10 IPs
Proxy-Cheap $14.20 for datacenter, IPv4 1 Month
Bright Data $18 for ISP and static residential, Shared 10 IPs
ProxyScrape $19 for datacenter, Dedicated Datacenter Canada, 1 month
