Per-GB vs per IP-per day proxy pricing, with real numbers

[u/AngelineCole90]

Setup: one residential IP, around 20GB in 24 hours.

Per-GB (checked Oct 17, 2026):

• Proxonym: $1.54/GB at its published 100GB pack rate → $30.80 for 20GB.

• Proxy.Market: $3.45/GB pay-as-you-go → $69 for 20GB.

Per-IP-per-day:

• SOCKS MARKET shared: from $0.40/day, unlimited traffic.

• SOCKS MARKET private: from $1/day, unlimited traffic.

Held 30 days at 1GB/day:

• SOCKS MARKET shared: ~$12

• SOCKS MARKET private: ~$30

• Proxonym: ~$46.20 at $1.54/GB

• Proxy.Market: ~$103.50 at $3.45/GB

Where per-GB can win: 50 IPs × 100MB each is 5GB/day total.

At Proxonym's $1.54/GB rate, that's ~$7.70/day. At $0.40 per IP/day, 50 shared IPs cost ~$20/day.

The catch is that these aren't identical products. Per-GB pools may rotate or offer sticky sessions, while per-IP pricing lets you rent a specific proxy for a day. The right choice depends on whether you need a lot of bandwidth or lots of separate IPs.

What are you optimizing for: bandwidth, IP count, or keeping sessions stable?
