Lower figures exist outside the sample: Evomi listed $0.49/GB on a 100 GB monthly plan without rollover (read 5 October 2026), and Geonode advertises $0.27/GB on its 100 TB subscription.
What are the lowest, median and highest prices?
The median city-targeted GB cost $3.75 at 1 GB, $3.13 at 10 GB and $2.00 at 100 GB among the eight providers read on 18 October 2026:
| Volume | Prices published | Lowest | Median | Highest | Jade Proxies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | 6 of 8 | $2.50 | $3.75 | $7.35 | $1.50/GB |
| 10 GB | 8 of 8 | $0.79 | $3.13 | $5.51 | $0.66/GB |
| 100 GB | 7 of 8 | $0.65 | $2.00 | $4.00 | $0.50/GB |
According to Jade Proxies' reading, the $3.13 median at 10 GB is 4.7 times Jade Proxies' $0.66/GB. The spread is widest at 10 GB, where the highest price is 7.0 times the lowest ($5.51 against $0.79); at 1 GB it is 2.9 times.
Which providers let traffic expire?
Four of the eight sell monthly plans whose traffic resets or rolls over only while you pay: Webshare (reset, no rollover), Decodo (end of billing cycle), Oxylabs (monthly plan) and Geonode (rolls over until cancelled). DataImpulse, ProxyWing, Rayobyte (pay-as-you-go) and IPRoyal sell prepaid traffic that never expires, as Jade Proxies does.
Expiry raises the cost of each GB actually used. On Webshare's 10 GB plan ($27.50 a month), a month in which you use 5 GB costs $5.50 per GB used.
Which providers ask for identity checks, and which accept crypto?
Two of the eight require checks from every customer: Geonode asks for a government ID or business registration for all accounts, and Oxylabs for a KYC questionnaire. Four apply checks under conditions or say different things: DataImpulse on suspicion and for resellers, Rayobyte on unusual use, Webshare for restricted sites or on suspicion, and IPRoyal with conflicting statements. Decodo states no rule on its pricing pages, and ProxyWing advertises "No KYC, instant start". Jade Proxies asks for no ID, selfie or document; the no-KYC proxy explainer covers what that means in practice.
Five of the nine accept crypto: DataImpulse, ProxyWing, Decodo, IPRoyal and Jade Proxies (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, SOL and LTC). Webshare does not; Rayobyte, Geonode and Oxylabs do not state it on the pages read on 18 October 2026. The steps for paying in crypto are in how to buy proxies with crypto.
