Questions
Switching from IPRoyal
Is ProxyHive cheaper than IPRoyal?
At the volumes on their pricing page, yes. Their pay as you go residential is $5.51/GB at 10 GB; ours is $3.95/GB. Both sides reach $1.75/GB at the top, theirs from 10 TB on subscription and ours from 1,000 GB.
Does traffic expire on either?
Neither. IPRoyal states that its residential traffic never expires, and ours does not either.
Can I target a city on ProxyHive residential?
No, and the city-level targeting IPRoyal advertises is a row they win. For a fixed location, order a static IP instead: ISP is ordered by country, region, city and carrier, and datacenter by country, region and city.
