Overview
What is IPRoyal?
IPRoyal sells residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile proxies, along with a Web Unblocker and a Video Scraper API. Its About page says the company started in 2020 as two people with a shared idea, and the site gives a headquarters address in Ajman, United Arab Emirates. The docs count over 64M residential IPs in 195+ countries, and the mobile pricing page over 4.5M mobile IPs. According to IPRoyal's sourcing page, residential IPs come from people who share their bandwidth through the Pawns.app application and from IP service provider partners.
Residential proxies change IP on every request or keep the same one for up to 7 days, with country, state and city targeting at no extra cost, HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 support and unlimited concurrent requests. ISP proxies are static IPs from internet service providers, and datacenter proxies are dedicated IPs, both leased one proxy at a time. Mobile proxies cover 5G, 4G, 3G and LTE as rotating traffic or dedicated IPs. Web Unblocker works as a proxy endpoint that retries failed requests automatically and can render pages in a headless browser. The docs list web scraping, SEO research, data aggregation and social media management as uses.
Accounts are run from a web dashboard or the API, with sub-users, and the site offers a free proxy tester and proxy checker. Residential traffic is bought in packs, pay as you go or by subscription, and never expires. Datacenter and ISP proxies are leased for 30, 60 or 90 days, and mobile is sold per GB or as dedicated leases.
Our verdict on IPRoyal
Updated Oct 5, 2026Pricing checked Oct 5, 2026
IPRoyal suits buyers whose proxy needs come in bursts. Residential traffic never expires, whether it's bought pay as you go or by subscription, so a 10 GB pack bought for one project can sit in the account until the next. Sticky sessions can hold one IP for up to 7 days, and residential plans allow unlimited concurrent requests. Short jobs don't need a monthly plan either: datacenter and ISP proxies lease for 30, 60 or 90 days, and ISP proxies for a single day.
Residential pay as you go costs $7.35 per GB for 1 GB, $6.25 for 2 GB and $5.51 for 10 GB, falling to $1.84 per GB from 10 TB. A subscription prices the same packs 5% lower, at $7.00, $5.95 and $5.25 per GB, and renews until it's cancelled in the dashboard. So 10 GB costs $55.10 as a one-off pack, or $52.50 each time a subscription renews. Datacenter proxies start at $1.57 per proxy for 30 days and ISP proxies at $2.70, or $1.80 for 24 hours, but these are starting rates that move with location and quantity. Rotating mobile traffic runs from $6.80 per GB for 2 GB down to $5.20 at 100 GB.
The weak spots are targeting, refunds and sourcing detail. The residential docs stop at country, state and city, with no ZIP code or ASN option documented. The terms call fees non-cancelable and non-refundable, apart from a full refund when a service doesn't work in its first 24 hours and isn't fixed in that window. And the sourcing page names Pawns.app users and provider partners without describing how consent is collected, which matters to buyers whose procurement teams ask.
Choose IPRoyal for occasional or uneven workloads, where traffic that keeps between projects is worth more than a low per-GB rate. For a steady 10 GB a month, Decodo's 10 GB residential bundle costs $35 ($3.50 per GB) and adds ZIP code and ASN targeting. Teams that buy mobile traffic every month can look at SOAX, whose $200 Builder plan charges the same $3 per GB for US residential and mobile traffic, though its credits expire after 60 days.

FAQs
IPRoyal FAQs
Written by our editorial team.
Does IPRoyal residential traffic expire?
No. IPRoyal says purchased residential traffic never expires, so unused GB stay in the account between projects, and that holds for subscriptions as well as pay-as-you-go packs. Larger packs cost less per GB: pay as you go runs from $7.35 per GB for 1 GB to $5.51 at 10 GB and $1.84 from 10 TB, and a subscription is 5% cheaper at each size. Subscriptions renew until they're cancelled under Manage subscription in the dashboard.
How much do IPRoyal proxies cost?
It depends on the proxy type. Residential traffic costs $7.35 per GB for a 1 GB pack, or $7.00 on subscription, with lower rates on larger packs. Datacenter proxies start at $1.57 per proxy for 30 days, ISP proxies at $2.70 for 30 days or $1.80 for 24 hours, and rotating mobile traffic at $6.80 per GB for 2 GB. Dedicated mobile proxies cost $10.11 for 24 hours or from $130 for 30 days. See IPRoyal pricing.
Can you get a refund from IPRoyal?
Only in narrow cases. IPRoyal's terms say fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except for a full refund when a service doesn't work in its first 24 hours and isn't fixed within that window. Mobile proxies have their own rules: unresolved connection problems within 24 hours, or an unwanted subscription charge reported within 72 hours, qualify if no more than 500 MB was used. Payments made in crypto aren't refunded.
Where do IPRoyal's residential IPs come from?
From two sources, according to IPRoyal's sourcing page: people who share their bandwidth through the Pawns.app application, and IP service provider partners. The page says monitoring is limited to the targets accessed through the pool, but it doesn't describe a consent process. IPRoyal's Acceptable Use Policy bans fraud, including click fraud, piracy, and collecting third-party content without permission, including for model training. See IPRoyal alternatives.
What targeting and session options does IPRoyal offer?
Residential proxies can be targeted by country, state or city at no extra cost, across 195+ countries. Each request can get a new IP, or a sticky session can keep the same IP for up to 7 days, over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 with unlimited concurrent requests. ISP proxies are static IPs with state and city targeting, and mobile proxies cover 5G, 4G, 3G and LTE with automatic or manual rotation.
