The self-serve door. A published gigabyte, a small subscription, and a way out if the trial fails.

IPRoyalproxy review
IPRoyal sells residential as pay-as-you-go packs that do not expire. The 1 GB pack in the sources used here is $7.35 per GB. The 10 GB pack is lower, about $5.51. Subscriptions sit a little under that. The marketing floor near $1.75 is a bulk claim, not the cell in this table.

Our reading
Who this provider is for
I like IPRoyal when usage is bursty and expiry is the thing that wastes money. I do not like it as a default, because the first gigabyte is one of the expensive ones. If you will burn a steady 50 GB a month, a subscription elsewhere is usually the cleaner bill. If you will buy 5 GB and use them over a quarter, non-expiry is the feature.
Open it if Irregular residential use, buyers who hate watching a monthly pack die on the 1st.
Skip it if You have steady volume and you are paying the 1 GB sticker out of habit.
How we compare ratesStrengths
- Traffic that does not expire is a real term, not a slogan to ignore
- Self-serve, no enterprise minimum to see a price
- The pack ladder is public enough to compare 1 GB and 10 GB
Limits
- Entry $/GB is high next to Decodo and the budget meters
- The $1.75 bulk line is a claim until it is on your invoice
- Not where I start a team that needs city-plus-ASN and a $4 top-up
Same standard, every vendor
What we checked on IPRoyal
Four checks. Not a score, and not a paid rank.
Door
Self-serve packs. Non-expiring traffic is the contract term to verify on the page.
Entry rate
1 GB at $7.35/GB in the July 2026 citations. 10 GB lower. Bulk floor not used as the entry cell.
What we refuse to score
IPRoyal does not get a success rate, a millisecond average, or a pool-size audit on this page. Those are claims. Your URL list is the test.
Money
Outbound buttons can be affiliate. They are labeled. The order is editorial. A cheaper cell does not automatically outrank a provider you can start and leave.

Expiry is a price
A $4 gigabyte that dies in 30 days can cost more than a $7 gigabyte you still have in June. That only helps if you actually keep the leftover. If you consume the pack immediately, you overpaid for a feature you did not use.

FAQ
IPRoyal questions
Do IPRoyal residential proxies expire?+
Their residential terms say purchased traffic does not expire. Verify that sentence on the live pricing page before you rely on it.
Is IPRoyal cheaper than Decodo?+
Not at 1 GB. $7.35 versus $4 pay-as-you-go. The comparison flips only if expiry or a bulk deal is the thing you are buying.
