What a GB of residential traffic costs
Rayobyte's Premium Residential gets cheaper the more you buy at once. It costs $3.50 per GB from 1 to 49 GB, $2 from 50 GB, $1.50 from 250 GB and $0.70 from 1,000 GB. Through sales it starts at $0.50. Every tier includes country, city, ZIP code and ASN targeting.
How to read it for your job:
- Targeted work below 1,000 GB. Premium costs less than Rayobyte at every tier up to 999 GB.
- Targeted work from 1,000 GB. Rayobyte's $0.70 costs less than Premium's $1.00/GB.
- Country-level work. Lite at $0.50/GB and $0.44/GB costs less than any Rayobyte pay-as-you-go tier.
- ZIP code or device OS targeting. Only Rayobyte offers ZIP. Both offer device targeting.
Take 50 GB as an example. Rayobyte charges $100 for it at the $2 tier, and the same 50 GB of Lite costs $25.
Scale Residential, for verified businesses
Scale is Rayobyte's lowest residential rate. It is sold on monthly plans only, with no targeting, and the network picks the IP. Each plan allows 1 request at once per $1 of plan.
| Scale plan | GB a month | Price per GB | Requests at once |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100 a month | 6,600 GB | $0.0150 | 100 |
| $500 a month | 40,000 GB | $0.0125 | 500 |
| $1,500 a month | 136,000 GB | $0.0110 | 1,500 |
| $5,000 a month | 526,000 GB | $0.0095 | 5,000 |
Scale opens only "to verified businesses after a compliance review". Our pools cannot match these rates for untargeted volume. If you run a registered business with broad crawls in the hundreds of thousands of GB a month, Scale is the cheaper option.
Targeting, sessions and UDP
- Targeting. Rayobyte's Premium Residential targets country, state, city, ZIP code, network (ASN) and device OS. Our Premium covers country, state, city, network (ASN) and device, and Lite stops at the country.
- Sessions. Rayobyte holds an IP "up to 120 minutes, with a sticky session". Our Premium keeps a sticky exit for anything from 3 minutes to a full day. Whether a job needs a long session at all is covered in rotating vs static residential proxies.
- UDP. Rayobyte lists "SOCKS5, SOCKS5 UDP and HTTP/3, as well as HTTP and HTTPS". On our side, UDP runs over SOCKS5 on Premium, enabled per proxy line.
- Requests at once. Rayobyte lists Premium Residential as unlimited, and Scale at 1 per $1 of plan.
The application, blocked sites and refunds
- Before you buy. Rayobyte's KYC page says every residential user must "complete a short trial and application process before we sell them residential IPs". The trial is 50 MB. Its security page adds that unusual use triggers ID checks on any account. HProxy asks for no documents when you sign up or make an ordinary purchase. The identity checks page lists the rare cases where we do.
- Blocked sites. Rayobyte blocks "banks, government sites, login pages and any site that reports abuse, for every customer". That rules out jobs that sign in to accounts through its network.
- Refunds. Rayobyte's terms, last modified July 30, 2024, say "Subscription Fees are not refundable". It may still grant a refund "in its sole and absolute discretion". Under our refund policy, unused balance can come back within 14 days by the same card or crypto you paid with. GB you have already used are not refunded.
- Payment. Our checkout takes card, crypto, Alipay, Pix and QRIS. The smallest top-up is $3 in crypto and $10 by the other methods, as payment options shows.
Where Rayobyte is the better pick
- Targeted traffic from 1,000 GB, where its $0.70 costs less than Premium, and less again through sales.
- Untargeted volume for a verified business. Scale costs about a cent per GB.
- More targeting and protocols. ZIP code, device OS, SOCKS5 UDP and HTTP/3.
- Unlimited requests at once on Premium Residential.
- A free first test, with no credit card.
Where HProxy is the better pick
- Targeted traffic below 1,000 GB, where Premium costs less at every Rayobyte tier.
- Country-level work at any size, where Lite costs less than every Rayobyte pay-as-you-go tier.
- No application. Sign up and buy from one GB, with no trial to pass first.
- Sessions up to 24 hours on Premium.
- A refund. 14 days on unused balance, crypto included.
- One balance for every proxy type: residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile. How that balance works is in our common questions.
Who should pick which
Pick Rayobyte for targeted traffic from 1,000 GB, for ZIP code targeting or HTTP/3, or for Scale if you run a verified business with untargeted volume.
Pick HProxy for targeted traffic below 1,000 GB, or for country-level traffic at any size, with no application before you buy. Lite fits country-level work. Premium is the pick once a job names a state, a city, a network or a device, or needs UDP or a long session.
