Byteful vs Froxy: six price reversals across mobile and residential traffic
Byteful and Froxy change price order on both shared proxy ladders. For mobile traffic, the crossing brackets are 10 to 20 GB and 20 to 50 GB. For residential traffic, they are 10 to 20 GB, 50 to 100 GB, 100 to 250 GB, and 500 to 1,000 GB. Froxy is the lower-cost mobile choice through 10 GB, Byteful wins at 20 GB, and Froxy wins again at 50 GB. The residential lead changes four times, so neither provider has a defensible price win without a volume attached. Byteful is the current name of the provider stored under the historical ping-proxies identifier. Pair analysis dated 2026-07-26

Froxy has no captured public mobile package covering 100 GB or more. Byteful has computed values at those samples, but one quote cannot establish a head-to-head winner. The useful conclusion stops at 50 GB rather than carrying Froxy’s last win into volumes where its side is not published.

Purchase terms change the meaning of the totals
Both providers’ selected products use monthly commitments. Froxy records a 30-day traffic expiry and rollover while a subscription keeps renewing. Byteful publishes non-expiring residential traffic and rollover, but its mobile traffic expiry and rollover are not published in the captured data. Froxy publishes unrestricted concurrent sessions for these products. Byteful publishes unrestricted concurrency for residential traffic, while the mobile concurrency field is not published.

The price conclusion is therefore volume-specific and type-specific. For mobile traffic, choose Froxy on computed price from 1 through 10 GB and at 50 GB, with Byteful lower at 20 GB. For residential traffic, Froxy is lower through 10 GB, at 100 GB, and at 1,000 GB. Byteful is lower at 20, 50, 250, and 500 GB. Recalculate from the expected billing-period traffic and then compare expiry, rollover, targeting, and session requirements before purchase. Pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
