Loopway and IPRoyal, compared on what you actually pay and what you actually get — with the rows where IPRoyal wins left in.
Prices and policies checkedIPRoyal's strengths are flexibility: residential traffic that never expires, 7-day sticky sessions, 24-hour ISP and mobile rentals, a Web Unblocker and payment in 25 cryptocurrencies or PayPal. On residential price Loopway is well ahead — $1.10/GB at 10 GB against IPRoyal's $5.25/GB, and IPRoyal publishes nothing below its 10 GB rate until 10 TB — and Loopway adds a no-card free trial, ASN targeting, UDP and IPv6 proxies.

Each figure is the cheapest way to buy that much from the provider's own published price list: when a plan's minimum is larger than what you need, you pay for the whole plan, and a bigger plan wins whenever its lower rate makes up for it. Taxes excluded. The lowest cost in each row is blue.

FAQ
Can't find the answer? A real person is on chat around the clock, or find us here:
For residential proxies, yes, from the first gigabyte. As of October 2026 IPRoyal charges $5.25/GB at 10 GB (subscription) and publishes no lower rate until its $1.75/GB custom plan at 10 TB. Loopway is $1.10/GB at 10 GB and $0.57/GB at 1 TB, pay as you go. Both keep unused traffic forever.
Not for self-service customers. IPRoyal offers a trial to eligible companies through its Enterprise sales team. Loopway gives up to 1.75 GB of residential traffic free, with no card.
Generally no: fees are non-refundable except when the service is inactive or defective in the first 24 hours because of IPRoyal and can't be fixed, or for residential subscription renewals within 72 hours if no new data was used. One-day plans and crypto payments are never refunded.
IPRoyal runs checks at registration and says identity verification gives unrestricted access to all its services; opening extra ports on residential and rotating mobile proxies requires it. Loopway asks for KYC only when a risk check calls for it.
IPRoyal's terms of service name IPRoyal Services FZE LLC, a company incorporated in Ajman, United Arab Emirates. IPRoyal says it started in 2020.
Create an account, claim the free trial and swap the gateway host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string the same way, so most scrapers and bots need no code changes.
