IPRoyal is a commercial proxy provider for individuals and teams that need residential, ISP, datacenter or mobile IPs, web-unblocking, and API control. It is best suited to scraping, monitoring and other location-sensitive workflows that can match a billing unit to traffic needs. The range is useful, but buyers must choose carefully among per-gigabyte, per-proxy, per-day and per-request pricing.

Overview

IPRoyal combines four proxy networks, a Web Unblocker, REST API access and a browser extension. It states that its network exceeds 68 million IPs, covers 195 countries for residential traffic and targets 99.9% uptime. That breadth makes it a plausible single supplier for mixed workloads, while the different network limits mean one plan will not suit every project.

Residential traffic supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, geo-targeting, session or request rotation and unlimited concurrent sessions. IPRoyal says its proxies integrate with more than 650 tools, with guides covering AI tools, anti-detect browsers, data-collection software, devices and mobile tools.

Key features

Networks and web access

Residential proxies are the strongest fit for country-specific collection and rotating requests, with 195-country coverage and flexible rotation. Datacenter proxies offer unlimited bandwidth on the monthly starting plan and 40-plus locations, favoring high-volume work where residential identity is unnecessary. ISP proxies emphasize unlimited sessions and 99.9% uptime. Mobile plans provide 5G, 4G and 3G connectivity for tasks that specifically require mobile-network addresses.

Web Unblocker adds CAPTCHA bypass, automatic retries, dynamic browser fingerprinting, smart IP selection and geo-targeting across 195 countries. Its documented ceiling of 200 simultaneous active connections matters for concurrent crawlers and may constrain larger parallel jobs.

Tools and developer access

The free IPRoyal Proxy Manager extension supports unlimited proxy profiles, one-click switching and single- or multi-proxy profiles for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. It is practical for browser-based switching, but it is not a substitute for programmatic controls. The REST API supports ordering, rotating and monitoring proxies, giving developers a way to manage infrastructure from applications.

Controls, sourcing and support

IPRoyal says residential IPs come from real user devices and that it applies KYC practices for responsible use. Its DPA describes measures such as pseudonymisation, encryption, confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience, and references GDPR Chapter V safeguards and Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA and UK transfers. Datacenter and ISP orders have a pooled 100GB-per-proxy limit for each 30-day monthly cycle, so “unlimited” bandwidth or sessions should be read against that fair-usage rule where it applies. 24/7 customer support and technical guidance are included in the service promise.

Pricing

IPRoyal has no free plan or free trial. The headline entry point is $1.39, but each plan uses a different unit.

• Residential Proxies: $1.75 per month, billed from $1.75/GB, with 195 countries. This suits occasional or variable residential collection; per-GB billing makes sustained volume expensive.
• ISP Proxies: $1.80 per month, from $1.80/proxy, with unlimited sessions and 99.9% uptime. Choose it when persistent ISP addresses matter more than country breadth.
• Datacenter Proxies: $1.39 per month, from $1.39/proxy, unlimited bandwidth and 40-plus locations. It is the low-cost high-volume option, provided datacenter IPs are acceptable.
• Mobile Proxies: $10.11 per month, from $10.11/day, with unlimited bandwidth and 5G/4G/3G. The daily basis is costly for continuous use but appropriate for mobile-specific requirements.
• Web Unblocker: $1.00 per month, from $1.00 per 1,000 requests, including 1,000 requests. This is a small test or light-use allocation, not a large crawler budget.
• Datacenter Proxies — 90 days: $1.39 per month, billed 90 days, with 60-plus locations, unlimited sessions and 100GB per proxy per monthly cycle.
• ISP Proxies — 90 days: $2.40 per month, billed 90 days, with 500K-plus IPs, 31-plus countries and unlimited sessions.
• Residential Proxies — subscription custom: $1.75 per month, billed by subscription, from 10TB (10,000GB), with non-expiring traffic. This targets large, planned workloads.
• Residential Proxies — subscription 10GB: $5.25 per month; 10GB, 195-plus countries and non-expiring traffic.
• Residential Proxies — pay as you go 10GB: $5.51 per purchase; 10GB, 195-plus countries and non-expiring traffic. It avoids a recurring subscription.
• Residential Proxies — subscription 2GB: $5.95 per month; 2GB, 195-plus countries and non-expiring traffic.
• Residential Proxies — subscription 1GB: $7.00 per month; 1GB, 195-plus countries and non-expiring traffic. The smallest quota has the highest stated per-GB cost.

Platforms

IPRoyal supports Android, iOS, Windows and web access, alongside its browser extension and API. That combination covers browser users, desktop workflows and software integrations, while the API is the relevant route for automated ordering and rotation.

Who it's for

IPRoyal fits web scraping, travel-fare aggregation, price monitoring, stock-market data collection, SEO/SERP scraping and AI-training pipelines. It is particularly suitable when a project needs country targeting, several proxy types or API-managed rotation. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a free tier, a trial, or a single simple quota with no fair-usage considerations.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Four proxy networks cover different identity and performance requirements; residential coverage spans 195 countries; the extension allows unlimited profiles and one-click switching; Web Unblocker supplies automated retries and CAPTCHA handling; API access supports ordering, rotation and monitoring; 24/7 support is advertised.
• Cons: There is no free plan or trial; pricing units vary substantially by network; Web Unblocker allows only 200 active connections; datacenter and ISP orders are subject to a pooled 100GB-per-proxy monthly-cycle limit; the 1GB residential subscription carries a high stated monthly price for its quota.

Alternatives

Browse Proxy Software for a broader category comparison, or Residential Proxy Services when residential coverage is the priority.

Webshare is the better starting point for a free tier: its Free Proxy Server costs $0.00 indefinitely and includes 10 proxies and 1GB monthly bandwidth, with broader platform coverage. Choose Dante instead if you want free, self-hosted SOCKS server and client software with complete source code. HProxy suits buyers seeking IPv6 proxies from $0.10 per month with unlimited bandwidth and up to 1Gbps port speed. Proxy-Cheap offers paid residential bundles such as 3GB or 4GB for $2.99 monthly. ProxyEmpire is worth considering when a free trial and rotating residential plans are important. FoxyProxy is a freemium proxy-management option with monthly and multi-month plans. Proxiware targets low-cost residential subscriptions, while FalconProxy offers paid plans with a free trial and device-based pricing.

Verdict

Choose IPRoyal if you need several proxy types, broad residential geography and API or browser controls in one service. Its main advantage is matching network and billing style to a specific scraping or monitoring job. Look elsewhere if you require a free starting tier, a trial, or a simpler quota structure without connection and fair-usage limits.
