The median price of a static IP for 30 days is $2.30. Residential traffic costs $3.50 per GB. A mobile port costs $45 a month. The mobile port is the one price that depends heavily on the country: the median is $35 in Russia and $142 in the US. The data covers 31 providers in the researched.xyz catalog, with prices checked from 30.08 to 24.09.2026.
The lowest price in a table does not make a plan a good deal. A good deal is a plan where you pay for the unit you need (an IP, a gigabyte or a port) in the country you need, with a payment method that works for you, and where you can test the service before a big purchase. So the order of choice is: type, country, payment, test, price. This article follows that order.
Prices by proxy type
The types use different units, so you can only compare within a row: an IP, a gigabyte and a port are not the same thing. The table shows the entry price, meaning the cheapest public plan in each line.

| Type | Price unit | Plans | Min., $ | Middle half, $ | Median, $ | Max., $ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Static IPs, all plans | IP per 30 days | 31 | 0.12* | 1.71–3.50 | 2.30 | 6.99 |
| Static IPs, each provider's cheapest plan | IP per 30 days | 21 | 0.12* | 1.42–2.99 | 1.80 | 5.00 |
| Residential | GB of traffic | 21 | 2.00 | 3.00–5.00 | 3.50 | 12.00 |
| Mobile, priced per port | port per 30 days | 15 | 15.00 | 32.35–57.50 | 45.00 | 130.00 |
| Mobile, priced per traffic | GB of traffic | 5 | 3.00 | 4.25–7.50 | 5.00 | 13.14 |
| Shared static IPs | IP per 30 days | 10 | 0.12* | 0.31–0.99 | 0.54 | 1.50 |
* Only when you buy 100 or more IPs (FineProxy). Without a minimum pack, the cheapest static IP costs $0.71, and the median across 28 plans without a minimum is $2.50. The gap between $2.30 and $1.80 in the first two rows exists because some providers have several lines (for example DC and ISP). The second row takes only the cheapest plan of each provider.
Static is the cheapest way in: half of the plans sit between $1.71 and $3.50 per IP. Residential traffic is billed by the gigabyte. 20 GB at the median costs $70, and that money buys about 30 static IPs. The mobile port is the most expensive. Its $45 median is almost 20 times the static IP median, but it is built for different jobs. If you are not sure which type you need, first read how to choose between static, residential and mobile, then open the catalogs: static, residential, mobile.
Mobile port price by country
Mobile proxies are the only type where the country changes the price several times over. The sample includes only providers that publish a separate price for the country. A single flat rate for all locations is left out, so that two different things are not mixed.
Scroll the table right →
| Country | Median, $ per port per month | Min.–max., $ | Providers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Russia | 35.19 | 21.21–47.98 | 7 |
| Ukraine | 50.47 | 35.55–65.16 | 5 |
| Belarus | 57.11 | 29.50–75.00 | 4 |
| Moldova | 58.37 | 54.39–104.00 | 4 |
| Kazakhstan | 59.24 | 49.65–91.22 | 5 |
| Thailand | 62.50 | 47.28–94.00 | 6 |
| Romania | 73.34 | 65.00–121.44 | 5 |
| India | 75.68 | 70.00–104.00 | 6 |
| Czechia | 77.21 | 50.00–154.00 | 4 |
| Poland | 81.64 | 45.00–94.00 | 5 |
| Latvia | 94.67 | 75.00–129.73 | 5 |
| Lithuania | 97.28 | 60.00–129.73 | 6 |
| Netherlands | 100.00 | 81.64–114.00 | 5 |
| Spain | 106.52 | 94.79–154.00 | 7 |
| Germany | 106.52 | 100.00–154.00 | 5 |
| United Kingdom | 109.00 | 85.00–174.00 | 7 |
| France | 109.09 | 70.00–154.00 | 6 |
| United States | 142.07 | 60.00–259.48 | 5 |
Russia is $35.19 across seven providers. The US is $142.07 across five. That is a fourfold gap. The US also has the widest spread, from $60 to $259 per port. After Russia, a port is cheapest in Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and Kazakhstan ($50 to $59). In Western Europe the medians sit around $100–109. The mobile proxy catalog with a country filter also shows providers with a single flat rate, so its set of prices is wider than this table.
What else moves the price
Country, for static IPs. The difference is small. Russia and Ukraine are about $1.8 per IP. The US, the UK and Germany are about $2.6.
Scroll the table right →
| Country | Providers offering it | Median, $ per IP | Middle half, $ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Russia | 14 | 1.76 | 1.33–1.95 |
| Ukraine | 16 | 1.79 | 1.54–2.59 |
| Netherlands | 21 | 2.30 | 1.65–3.00 |
| United Kingdom | 25 | 2.55 | 1.65–4.00 |
| United States | 25 | 2.55 | 1.77–4.00 |
| Germany | 24 | 2.63 | 1.74–3.78 |
Country, for residential proxies. It hardly matters. Across 249 countries the median per GB stays within $2.50–3.90, because most providers have a single plan for all locations. No more than one provider publishes a separate price per country, and only for the US, Germany, India and the Philippines.
Minimum pack. The "from $0.12 per IP" plan requires you to buy 100 of them. A minimum pack is set on three static IP plans (out of 31) and three residential plans (out of 21), so check it before you pay.
Provider. For the same unit the spread is wide. A static IP without a minimum runs from $0.71 to $6.99 (almost 10 times). A residential GB runs from $2 to $12 (6 times). A mobile port runs from $15 to $130 (8.7 times). Before you chase the minimum, make sure it applies to your country and your volume.
Paying from Russia
The catalog marks who accepts crypto and who accepts Mir, SBP or SberPay. Mir is the Russian bank card system and SBP is Russia's fast-payment system. The condition is strict: the provider must name one of these methods explicitly. Crypto is accepted more often: 81–90% of providers, against 48–57% for Russian cards. Still, every one of the 21 providers in each type accepts at least one of the two methods, and only 8–9 of 21 accept both.
Scroll the table right →
| Type | Accept crypto | Accept Russian cards (Mir, SBP, SberPay) | Both | Crypto only | Russian cards only |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Static | 18 of 21 (86%) | 12 of 21 (57%) | 9 of 21 (43%) | 9 of 21 (43%) | 3 of 21 (14%) |
| Residential | 19 of 21 (90%) | 10 of 21 (48%) | 8 of 21 (38%) | 11 of 21 (52%) | 2 of 21 (10%) |
| Mobile | 17 of 21 (81%) | 12 of 21 (57%) | 8 of 21 (38%) | 9 of 21 (43%) | 4 of 21 (19%) |
If you need to pay in rubles, filter by payment before you compare prices. That leaves 10–12 providers out of 21. The "Russian cards" label on provider cards is broader. It also covers T-Bank, YooMoney, Yandex Pay and Russian payment aggregators, so the numbers there are higher: 13, 11 and 13 of 21. For shared proxies, 12 of 13 providers take Russian cards. To pay with crypto, there is a filter for proxies you can pay for with crypto and a separate guide.
Free trials
A free trial (the first two columns) is offered by 4 of 21 static proxy providers and 7 of 21 residential and mobile providers. A paid trial is listed by 5 residential providers and 4 mobile ones. The "Public list" column is a free list of public proxies, not a trial of the paid product.
Scroll the table right →
| Type | Free, instantly | Free, on request | Paid trial | Public list | No trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Static | 1 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 14 |
| Residential | 4 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 9 |
| Mobile | 5 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 10 |
Free trials are rare for static proxies, so the test is buying one IP for 30 days: about $2.30 at the median. You can pick providers with a free trial using the filter. The chart below puts payment and trials together.
How to work out a monthly budget
Take the price of your unit and multiply it by your real volume:
- Static: number of IPs × price per IP. 10 IPs at the $2.30 median is $23 a month.
- Residential: GB per month × price per GB. 50 GB at $3.50 is $175.
- Mobile: number of ports × price per port. Two ports in Russia at $35.19 are about $70. Two ports in the US at $142.07 are about $284.
If you pay in rubles, use the Bank of Russia rate for the payment day. On 24.09.2026 it was 84.3969 ₽ per $1, so $2.30 is about 194 ₽ and $45 is about 3,798 ₽. Discounts are not part of the formula. Verified promo codes as of 6 October 2026 exist for 19 of 21 static proxy providers, and the median discount is 10%.
Limits of the data
- The main risk is mistaking the entry price for the cost of your own order. This is not a price list for your volume. Wholesale and enterprise plans are not in the catalog, and at other volumes the price per unit can be different.
- Prices change. 79 rows were checked on 24.09.2026 and 8 on 30.08.2026. Check the current price in the catalog and on the provider's site.
- The samples are small. In the country breakdown there are 4–7 providers per country, so one very expensive or very cheap row moves the median noticeably.
- The data comes from public price lists. Speed, IP cleanliness, pool size and support were not measured. Price is only one criterion.
- This is not the whole market, only the 31 services in the catalog. Three of the 89 rows have no price (awaiting manual check, or unavailable) and are left out of the calculations.
- Plans priced in rubles were converted to dollars at a single Bank of Russia rate. The real charge depends on the rate on the day you pay.
Methodology
- Source. The working researched.xyz catalog: 89 rows across 31 services, with a price published for 86.
- Dates. Prices checked from 30.08 to 24.09.2026: 79 rows on 24.09 and 8 rows on 30.08.
- Entry price. The price of 1 IP (static) or 1 port (mobile) for 30 days, or of 1 GB (residential, and mobile billed by traffic), taken from the cheapest public retail plan. Wholesale and enterprise plans are excluded. A minimum pack larger than one is marked separately.
- Exchange rate. Bank of Russia, 24.09.2026, 84.3969 ₽ per $1, one rate for all conversions.
- Statistics. Median and quartiles use linear interpolation. "Middle half" means the 25th to the 75th percentile.
- Country. The mobile port table includes only providers with a separate price for the country.
- Payment and trials. Based on provider data in the catalog. "Russian cards" count only if the provider explicitly names Mir, SBP or SberPay. The "both", "crypto only" and "Russian cards only" columns are computed from the provider lists in the dataset.
- Open data. The price dataset is published on GitHub: Simpix/researched-prices.
How to pick a good-value proxy
- Type. Decide what the job needs: a static IP, residential traffic or a mobile port. Price is the second question.
- Country. Look at the price for that country specifically. For mobile it changes the cost several times over.
- Payment. Drop everyone who does not accept your method right away. That narrows the field to 10–12 providers out of 21.
- Test. Take a free trial. If there is none, buy the smallest paid volume: one IP, one port or a couple of gigabytes.
- Price. Only now compare the cost of your unit at your volume, using the formula above.
Check four things before you pay: the minimum pack, the plan term, the country and the payment method. These four are what separate the "from" price in a table from the total in your cart.
Current prices and the country filter are in the catalogs of static, residential and mobile proxies. The full list is in the proxy provider comparison.
