Top vendor entry prices

**IPRoyal** $1.75/GB · **Decodo** $2/GB · **Webshare** $2.99/GB · **Infatica** $3/GB · **NetNut** $3.50/GB · **SOAX** $3.60/GB · **Oxylabs** $4/GB · **Bright Data** $4.20/GB.

What changes the price

Volume commitments (50–80% off at TB scale), country targeting (premium for tier-1), session stickiness, and support tier all move the number. Always negotiate above 100GB/month — published prices are list prices.

Hidden costs to watch for

Overage rates (often 2× list), session token surcharges, premium-country fees, and minimum commitments. Read the spec sheet, not the homepage.

How to model your cost

Estimate requests/day × avg response size × 30. Add 30% for retries. Multiply by per-GB price. For protected sites, add a Web Unlocker fallback at 5–10% of volume.
