How did we build the US proxy price index?
The index uses one rule for every provider: the price a buyer would pay on 29 October 2026, read on the provider's own page.
- Tier price: the lowest of the pay-as-you-go rate at that volume and any plan no larger than the tier. A provider whose smallest purchase is above the tier gets no price there.
- Shown price: discounts the page applies by itself count, such as ProxyEmpire's EMPIRE50 code and the struck prices at Thordata and Shifter. Codes you must type do not.
- Left out: free and paid trials, "second month free" offers, sales quotes, and business-only plans such as Rayobyte's Scale Residential.
- Median: the middle value of the providers with a price at that tier.
- No affiliate reviews: every figure links to the provider itself in the sources below.
What does this price index not cover?
The index is a one-day snapshot of public prices, and five gaps matter:
- Bright Data: its residential price page returned a server error on 29 October 2026, so it has no price here. Its docs were readable.
- Proxy-Cheap: every page returned HTTP 403, so it has no price, crypto or KYC data. The "25% below" findings hold among the providers we could read.
- NodeMaven: its slider values are not in the page source; only "from $2.20/GB", 2 GB for $8.50 and 20 GB for $90 were readable.
- IPRoyal: no residential price is shown between 10 GB and its custom 10 TB tier.
- Live Proxies: plans bundle IPs, GB and days, so its per-GB prices are the total divided by the GB.
We ran no speed, uptime or success-rate tests. The index compares prices and policies only.

US proxy price index: FAQ
Is FiftyStateProxy the cheapest US proxy provider?
At 12 of 15 tiers, yes: FiftyStateProxy was 25% below the lowest shown price among the 20 providers checked on 29 October 2026. At residential 500 GB the gap is 24.8%. On rotating mobile at 5 GB and 10 GB, DataImpulse is cheaper.
Why is Bright Data missing from the price tables?
Its residential price page returned a server error on 29 October 2026, and we publish no number we could not read. Its docs show that Bright Data takes no crypto; see does Bright Data accept crypto.
Why do shown prices differ from list prices?
Some pages display a struck original price next to the price you pay. Thordata shows 1 GB at $2.00 against a struck $2.85, and Webshare shows a $7.00 anchor on every tier. The index uses the price you pay.
Does the index include targeting fees?
Only where the price is published. DataImpulse charges an unpublished fee for state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting, so its $1.00/GB is a country-level price. FiftyStateProxy includes all four levels in every tier.
Which providers are cheapest for a small test?
At 1 GB, Thordata showed $2.00 and FiftyStateProxy $1.50. For a ranked list by tier, read what are the cheapest US proxies per GB.
