Redundant infrastructure keeps long-running sessions alive
Budget-conscious developers, small business owners, freelance data analysts, students, and startup teams rely on cheap proxies that deliver value. Roundproxies provides cost-effective proxy infrastructure without compromising on quality—perfect for those who need reliable web scraping, market research, and data collection on a limited budget.
While free proxies seem tempting, they cost you more through failed requests, security vulnerabilities, and wasted time troubleshooting connection issues. Roundproxies delivers affordable premium proxies with guaranteed uptime, clean IP reputations, and responsive support—proving that cheap doesn't have to mean unreliable when you choose the right provider.
Our budget-friendly proxy network doesn't sacrifice speed for price. Leveraging optimized routing through tier-1 data centers and residential ISPs, we deliver competitive response times that match premium-priced alternatives. Smart load balancing ensures your affordable proxies perform reliably whether you're running small-scale scraping projects or testing distributed applications.
Mix and match proxy types based on your budget and requirements. Datacenter proxies offer maximum speed per dollar for straightforward scraping tasks. Residential IPs provide authenticity when you need to blend in with regular users. Our flexible pricing lets you allocate budget strategically—using premium residential proxies only where necessary while relying on cost-effective datacenter options for bulk operations.
Cheap is a price per outcome, not a price per IP. A datacenter address at a few cents is the cheapest proxy on the market and the most expensive way to reach a site that blocks it, because every blocked request is money spent for nothing. This page is the honest version of the decision: what each type costs, what it can and cannot reach, and how to spend the least for a result that actually arrives.
| Proxy type | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Datacenter | Cheapest per IP | Pennies per address, unlimited traffic, fast. Works on anything that does not check address reputation — APIs, unprotected sites, your own infrastructure. Worthless on anything that does. |
| Rotating residential | Cheapest per success on protected sites | Billed by traffic rather than by address. Costs more per GB but reaches the sites datacenter cannot, so the cost per successful request is often lower. Keep page weight down and it stays cheap. |
| ISP (static residential) | Cheapest for held sessions | A fixed price per address with unmetered traffic. The economical choice where you need one clean address for a long time — accounts, logins, monitors behind auth. |
| Sticky residential | Held sessions on a budget | Residential pricing with session persistence. Cheaper than ISP for occasional held sessions, dearer than ISP for continuous ones. |
| 4G / 5G mobile | Never the cheap option | The most expensive type per address. Only cheap when it is the only type a target accepts and the alternative is a ban. |
Pennies per address, unlimited traffic, fast. Works on anything that does not check address reputation — APIs, unprotected sites, your own infrastructure. Worthless on anything that does.

The most expensive type per address. Only cheap when it is the only type a target accepts and the alternative is a ban.
Datacenter for targets that do not care, residential by the GB for those that do, ISP for anything held. The wrong cheap type costs more than the right expensive one.
Three ways a low price per IP turns into a high price per result.
A datacenter address that is refused by the target has consumed time, retries and engineering attention. At a high block rate the effective cost per success climbs past residential.
Proxy setup: Test a single address of each type on the target before buying a set. The block rate decides the real price.
Residential proxies bill per GB. A page's images, fonts and scripts can be most of its weight and none of its value. Fetching only what you need cuts the bill by a large fraction.
Proxy setup: Block assets, use API endpoints where they exist, and cache what does not change.
The cheapest datacenter and 'semi-dedicated' addresses are shared with other customers, and their reputation is whatever the noisiest of them left behind.
Proxy setup: Dedicated addresses for anything that logs in; shared only for throwaway anonymous fetches.
One request from a datacenter address, one from residential. If datacenter passes at the rate you need, buy datacenter. If not, no quantity of it will help.
Unlimited-traffic datacenter for volume against soft targets; metered residential only for the requests that need it.
Fetch the DOM or the API response, not the page's media. The bill follows bytes.
A fixed address at a fixed price is cheaper than residential traffic for anything continuous.
Five addresses at no cost is the cheapest test of whether the plan works.
Once the test shows what the target accepts, buy that. Buying cheaper and hoping is how budgets disappear.
Rough shapes for common jobs, cheapest type that works first.
| What you are running | Proxies you need | Notes |

| Scraping protected sites | Residential by the GB | Size on pages times trimmed page weight. Block assets. |
| A few accounts or monitors | ISP by the IP | One fixed address each; unmetered. |
| Trying it out | Free trial | Five addresses, no card, test the target. |

tbh, I had a very good run with roundproxies. the support is top tier and the quality of the proxies ahve been premium since day one. Have used their ISP and Residential proxies and love the granuliar targeting I can do. I would recommend roundproxies.
The proxy quality and success rate is what stands out most. The IPs are clean, connections are fast, and I rarely hit blocks even on tougher targets. The dashboard is dead simple, I was up and running in minutes, and whenever I had a setup question, support answered within minutes and actually knew what they were talking about. For the price, especially the datacenter proxies with unlimited bandwidth, the value is hard to beat.
I purchased proxies today the first time in my life, not knew where to start. Marius responded within minutes and helped me understand everything right away. Very fast and helpful support.
The Datacenter Proxies arrived and missing an item. I immediately contacted customer service who sent me another Datacenters for and added one week for free on top.

The cheapest type your target accepts, which you find by testing rather than by price list. Datacenter at pennies per address is the cheapest on the market and the most expensive way to reach a site that blocks it, because every blocked request is money spent for nothing. Test one address of each type first.
Because residential is billed per GB and reaches sites datacenter cannot, so the cost per successful request is often lower even though the cost per GB is higher. Keep page weight down by fetching only the DOM or the API response and residential stays cheap; load full pages with media and it does not.
Only for throwaway anonymous fetches. The cheapest datacenter and semi-dedicated addresses are shared with other customers, and their reputation is whatever the noisiest of them left behind. Anything that logs in wants a dedicated address; the saving is not worth the account.
Whenever a session has to hold. An ISP address is a fixed price with unmetered traffic, which is cheaper than paying residential traffic rates for anything continuous: accounts, logins, monitors behind authentication. Sticky residential is cheaper only for occasional held sessions.
The free trial gives you five addresses at no cost, which is enough to test a target with each type and see what it accepts. Once the test shows what works, buy that type at the size you need rather than buying cheaper and hoping. Scale the type that worked, not the type that was cheapest.
