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

It depends on volume. As of October 2026 Proxy-Cheap's rotating residential is $1.50/GB from 3 GB, $1.20/GB from 4 GB and $0.78/GB from 51 GB. That makes Proxy-Cheap cheaper between about 40 GB and 280 GB; Loopway is cheaper below that and again from about 280 GB, reaching $0.57/GB at 1 TB. Proxy-Cheap caps self-serve residential top-ups at 50 GB a month.
No. Its help center says it doesn't offer a free trial and suggests a paid 1-week purchase instead, such as a $1.99 static residential IP. Loopway gives free residential traffic with no card required.
Sometimes. Its refund policy allows a full refund on bandwidth plans if no more than 20% of the traffic was used, and on time-based plans within 3 days of purchase; nothing is refunded if required KYC isn't completed.
Yes, once you top up $300 or more at once, reach $250 in total top-ups, or request a referral payout; the account is frozen for purchases and renewals until you pass. Loopway asks for verification only when a risk check calls for it.
Proxy-Cheap's help center limits rotating residential to 100 concurrent connections and 100 Mbps, and says the limits can't be upgraded.
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, so most scrapers and bots need only a config change.
