Nobody can tell you what proxy resellers earn, and anyone quoting an average is selling something. What we can show is the arithmetic: how margin, volume and fixed costs combine, and which lever actually moves the result.

Proxies for GoodRx: it blocked our plain client at the edge, and its whole value is that the same drug varies $10 to $30 between pharmacies in one ZIP. Which proxy type fits per-ZIP, per-pharmacy drug price monitoring, with honest limits.

Monthly proxy plans bill for traffic you may never send, and the leftover gigabytes vanish at renewal. The arithmetic on what expiry really costs, and when a plan still wins.

HProxy vs Froxy on residential price, plans and the HEATWAVE sale: the one thing Froxy publishes that almost nobody in this market does, and what changes on 1 September 2026.

Four scraping APIs, converted to one number: dollars per 1,000 requests. The range runs from $0.0749 to $3.75, and on one vendor both ends of a 25x spread sit inside the same $30 plan.

We re-verified all 20 residential proxy vendors we track against their own pricing pages on 10 August 2026, one week after the first capture. Four of our records were wrong, and one of them was wrong in the direction that suited us.

The cheapest number on a proxy pricing page is usually attached to a different product. Verified examples from Infatica, Rayobyte, IPBurger, Evomi and DataImpulse, and the checklist that catches it.

We re-read the residential pricing page of 20 proxy vendors on 10 August 2026. Eight were running a discount. One of the eight published an end date.

A headless browser downloads the whole page. Behind a residential proxy that is billed by the gigabyte, and at 6.54 MB per protected page fetch the meter runs faster than most teams budget for.

We checked what 16 residential proxy providers advertise against what they charge a new customer with no commitment. The median gap is 2.5x. The widest is 20x.

Residential proxies are resold consumer bandwidth. We checked what the apps buying that bandwidth pay per GB, against what providers charge for it.

Scraping APIs bill in credits, and one request can cost 1 credit or 75. We read the credit tables at ScrapingBee, ZenRows and ScraperAPI and did the arithmetic.

How much do proxies cost in 2026? Real per-GB and per-IP prices for datacenter, ISP, residential, and mobile proxies, what drives the cost, and how not to overpay.
