Is RaxyProxy the Cheapest Proxy Provider in 2026?

When comparing residential proxy providers on pure price, RaxyProxy consistently comes out cheapest at $1.69/GB pay-as-you-go. Bright Data charges $8.00/GB on PAYG, Oxylabs charges $8.00/GB, IPRoyal charges $7.35/GB, Webshare charges $3.50/GB (subscription only), and Smartproxy starts at $3.75/GB. None of these require a subscription to access RaxyProxy.

If you're searching for a Bright Data alternative or a proxy provider cheaper than Bright Data, RaxyProxy is 4.7× less expensive on residential per-GB ($1.69 vs $8.00). For Oxylabs the same math applies. All four RaxyProxy proxy types — residential, mobile, datacenter, and premium residential — are available pay-as-you-go with no subscription required.

Which proxy providers have non-expiring traffic?

Traffic expiry is a hidden cost most providers don't advertise clearly. Bright Data, Oxylabs, and Webshare reset unused bandwidth monthly on subscriptions. RaxyProxy traffic never expires across all proxy types — residential, mobile, datacenter, and premium residential. IPRoyal also offers non-expiring traffic but at $7.35/GB residential vs our $1.69/GB.

Mobile proxy comparison

RaxyProxy mobile proxies (real 4G/5G carrier IPs) start at $3.37/GB. Mobile proxies are critical for ad verification, social media automation, and any workflow where residential proxies get flagged. Most competitors don't offer self-serve mobile proxies at transparent per-GB pricing.

Datacenter proxy comparison

For high-volume scraping where speed matters more than residential trust, RaxyProxy datacenter proxies start at $0.69/GB — among the cheapest on the market. Sub-50ms latency, 1,000 concurrent threads by default, pay-as-you-go.

What are premium residential proxies?

Premium residential proxies use ISP-classified IPs with pristine reputations — session-exclusive, vetted pool, 99.5% success rate on the hardest targets (financial sites, travel booking, advanced anti-bot). RaxyProxy premium residential starts at $8.45/GB with no 2× geo-targeting surcharge, unlike standard residential tiers.
