Proxy providers often promote the lowest per-GB rate available on their largest plans. A buyer needing 10 or 50 GB can pay several times that rate when the provider imposes a fixed monthly charge.
We compared the total cost of selected residential, mobile and datacenter proxy products at 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 GB. This analysis identifies the lowest total bill at each low-volume tier and measures how monthly minimums inflate the effective price paid by small buyers.
- For residential traffic: Decodo has the lowest total price at every tested volume from 10 to 200 GB.
- For datacenter traffic: Bright Data has the lowest total cost from 10 to 100 GB and ties with Oxylabs at 200 GB.
Quick picks for low-volume proxy buyers
Cheap can refer to a low total payment, a low price per GB, or a low cost per successful request. These measures do not necessarily identify the same provider. Compare total payment and price per GB at defined monthly volumes:
If you need | Lowest-priced option in our dataset | Total cost | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
10 GB datacenter | Bright Data | $6 | Other plans cost at least $50 |
100 GB datacenter | Bright Data | $60 | $5 below Oxylabs |
200 GB datacenter | Bright Data Oxylabs | $120 | The two providers are tied |
10 GB residential | Decodo | $55 | 31% below the next-lowest option |
100 GB residential | Decodo | $450 | 37% below the next-lowest option |
10 GB mobile | Decodo | $70 | 17% below the next-lowest option |
100 GB mobile | Decodo | $550 | 23% below the next-lowest option |

How much more does a 10 GB residential buyer pay?
Most residential providers charge a 10 GB buyer at least twice their lowest rate in the dataset.
Decodo remains the lowest-priced residential option at 10 GB, but its small buyer still pays 2.5 times the rate available from 5,000 GB. Oxylabs reaches its lowest rate, at 1,000 GB, while Apify’s pricing curve is comparatively flat.
Cheapest residential proxy prices from 10 to 200 GB
Decodo is the lowest-priced residential provider at every tested volume from 10 to 200 GB. Its total price ranges from $55 for 10 GB to $900 for 200 GB.
Oxylabs ranks second at 10, 20, 50, and 200 GB, while Bright Data moves into second place at 100 GB.
Decodo’s effective price falls from $5.50/GB at 10 GB to $4.50/GB at 100 GB and remains at that level through 200 GB. The provider starts discounting earlier than the other compared residential products.
How monthly charges change datacenter pricing
Bright Data has the lowest datacenter cost from 10 to 100 GB and ties with Oxylabs at 200 GB. Its total price increases from $6 at 10 GB to $120 at 200 GB, keeping the rate at $0.60 per GB.
Oxylabs and Decodo each maintain a $50 total charge across the 10, 20, and 50 GB comparison points. Their effective rates therefore decline as the customer uses more of the included capacity, even though the total payment does not change.
At 10 GB, both providers cost $5 per GB. At 50 GB, the same $50 payment produces a rate of $1 per GB.
Cheapest mobile proxy prices from 10 to 200 GB
Decodo is the lowest-priced mobile provider at all five tested volumes. Its total cost ranges from $70 at 10 GB to $1,100 at 200 GB.
The difference from the second-lowest option ranges from 13% to 24%, narrower than the corresponding residential gap. Bright Data ranks second at 10, 100, and 200 GB, while Oxylabs ranks second at 20 and 50 GB.
Decodo’s effective mobile price falls from $7.00/GB at 10 GB to $5.50/GB at 100 and 200 GB.
Cheap proxies methodology
We compared total public prices at 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 GB. Effective price per GB was calculated by dividing the total price by the required bandwidth.

Volume discounts are concentrated in larger plans. Some products also keep the same total charge across several low-volume points, increasing the effective cost when the buyer needs a small amount of traffic.
