What the price per GB leaves out
- The smallest order
- A low price that starts at 100 GB or a monthly plan costs more to try than a higher price on one gigabyte. Check what the first purchase costs in total.
- Renewal and expiry
- Monthly plans renew until cancelled, and some reset unused traffic each month. One-off purchases are paid once.
- Targeting at that price
- Country-only pools are cheaper than pools with state, city or carrier targeting. Compare the same level of targeting.
- Identity checks
- Some providers ask for ID before residential access, or for some targets. If you cannot or will not share documents, check this before you pay.
- Payment methods
- Card payments are common; crypto is not offered everywhere and sometimes only for some products.
Questions
What is a normal price for residential proxies per GB?
On the public price pages we checked on 12 November 2026, the smallest residential order costs between $1.00 and $8.00 per GB, and the lowest listed volume prices run from about $0.80 to $2.00 per GB for terabyte orders. Most providers lower the price per GB as the order grows.
Why are some residential proxies so much cheaper than others?
Cheap pools usually offer country targeting only, share IP addresses among more customers, or need a large order to reach the low price. Pools with state and city targeting, more control over sessions and a smaller minimum order cost more per GB.
Is the cheapest proxy per GB the best value?
Not always. Check the smallest purchase, whether the plan renews every month, whether unused traffic expires, which targeting you get at that price, and whether you must verify your identity. A low price that needs a large monthly commitment can cost more than a higher price on one gigabyte.
How much does PiratProxies charge?
Residential: $2.64 per GB. Residential Lite: $0.72 per GB. Mobile: $2.64 per GB. Plans start at 1 GB, are paid once in cryptocurrency and do not renew.
Does PiratProxies ask for ID?
No. An email address and a password open an account, at any order size.
