Overview
IPRoyal is one of the cheapest credible residential providers, pairing a 34M+ residential pool with 250K+ datacenter IPs. Residential starts at $1.75/GB with no minimum commitment, which makes it an easy first purchase for small projects.
Its standout policy is that purchased residential traffic never expires. Most providers sell monthly allowances that reset whether you use them or not; with IPRoyal, a batch of gigabytes bought for an occasional job stays on the account until it is spent. For bursty or seasonal workloads, that removes the usual pressure to use it or lose it.
The compromise is reach and resilience. The pool is a fraction of the size of the market leaders, and success rates fall on heavily protected targets. There is no free trial, though the low entry price softens that.
Best for: solo developers, small teams and irregular workloads where cost per GB matters most.
Look elsewhere if: you scrape heavily defended sites at volume.
