Cheapest Proxies for Low-Volume:10–200 GB Compared
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.
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 in our dataset | Total cost | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
10 GB datacenter | DataImpulse | $5 | $1 below Bright Data |
100 GB datacenter | Bright Data | $60 | $5 below Oxylabs |
200 GB datacenter | Bright Data Oxylabs | $120 | The two providers are tied |
10 GB residential | DataImpulse | $10 | $45 below Decodo |
100 GB residential | Decodo | $450 | 37% below the next-lowest option |
10 GB mobile | DataImpulse | $20 | $50 below Decodo |
100 GB mobile | Decodo | $550 | 23% below the next-lowest option |

What is the price premium for a 10 GB residential buyer?
Most residential providers charge a 10 GB buyer at least twice their lowest rate in the dataset.
DataImpulse combines the lowest 10 GB residential rate with a relatively small low-volume. By comparison, Decodo’s 10 GB buyer pays 2.5 times the rate available from 5,000 GB, while Oxylabs’ 10 GB rate is twice its lowest rate.
Byteful’s 10 GB buyer pays 1.9 times the rate available from 5,000 GB. This premium is smaller than Decodo’s and Oxylabs’, but Byteful’s lowest rate requires a much larger commitment than DataImpulse’s.

DataImpulse is the lowest-priced residential provider at every tested volume from 10 to 200 GB. At $1 per GB, its total cost ranges from $10 for 10 GB to $200 for 200 GB.
Byteful is the next-lowest-priced provider across the tested range, with total costs ranging from $32.50 at 10 GB to $550 at 200 GB. Its rate falls from $3.25/GB below 25 GB to $3.00/GB at 50 GB and $2.75/GB from 100 GB. Compared with Byteful, DataImpulse costs approximately 64–69% less at these low-volume points.
Decodo follows, with total costs ranging from $55 at 10 GB to $900 at 200 GB. Byteful costs approximately 39–41% less than Decodo across the tested range.
How monthly charges change datacenter pricing
DataImpulse has the lowest datacenter cost at every tested volume from 10 to 200 GB. Its $0.50/GB rate results in a total cost of $5 at 10 GB, $50 at 100 GB, and $100 at 200 GB.
Bright Data is the next-lowest option from 10 to 100 GB. At 200 GB, Bright Data and Oxylabs both cost $120, compared with $100 for DataImpulse.
Oxylabs and Decodo each charge $50 total across the 10, 20, and 50 GB comparison points. Their effective rates therefore decline as customers use 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
DataImpulse is the lowest-priced mobile provider at every tested volume from 10 to 200 GB. At $2/GB, its total cost ranges from $20 at 10 GB to $400 at 200 GB.
Byteful is the next-lowest option. At $4.25/GB below 25 GB, its total cost is $42.50 at 10 GB. The rate falls to $3.85/GB at 50 GB and $3.45/GB at 100 GB, resulting in a total cost of $345 at 100 GB and $690 at 200 GB. DataImpulse costs about 53% less at 10 GB ($20 versus $42.50) and about 42% less at 100 GB ($200 versus $345).
Decodo follows Byteful. Byteful costs about 39% less than Decodo at 10 GB ($42.50 versus $70) and about 37% less at 100 GB ($345 versus $550).
Add as preferred sourceCheap proxies methodology
For each usage tier, we compare all public pricing options from each provider and use the one with the lowest total monthly cost. This includes monthly plans, pay-as-you-go pricing, and overage fees, since the cheapest option is not always the provider’s advertised package.
Byteful sells residential and mobile traffic through monthly plans, but purchased traffic does not expire and remains available after cancellation. We therefore treat its tiered rates as the monthly cost at each tested volume.
FAQs
At the 10 GB comparison point, Bright Data datacenter has the lowest total cost at $6. Among residential products, Decodo is lowest at $55, and among mobile products, Decodo is lowest at $70.
Decodo has the lowest total residential price at every tested point from 10 to 200 GB.
At the tested price points, the lowest datacenter option costs substantially less. However, fixed charges can reduce that advantage for some providers at 10–50 GB.
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.
