IPRoyal Pricing 2026: Cheapest Ethical Residential?
By Elena Park 2026-03-20 7 min read Pricing
IPRoyal at $1.75/GB is the cheapest ethically-sourced residential bandwidth in 2026. Here's the full pricing map.
Royal Residential
From $1.75/GB pay-as-you-go, no monthly minimum, no expiry on bandwidth credits. Genuinely the cheapest entry point in residential.
Other products
Datacenter from $1.39/IP/month. ISP/static residential from $1.80/IP/month. Mobile from $7/GB. Sneaker ISP proxies from $2.40/IP/month.
Volume curve
Light volume discounts — drops to about $1.40/GB at 1TB. The base price is so low that there's limited room to compress it further.
How they hit the price
IPRoyal owns their peer-SDK distribution (Pawns app), keeping IP acquisition costs minimal. They pass the savings to customers.
Catch?
Slightly smaller pool than Bright Data/Oxylabs (32M vs 100M+) and fewer enterprise features. For most teams, the pool size is irrelevant.
