VaultProxies vs IPRoyal
IPRoyal sells residential traffic that never expires, Pay As You Go or on a subscription at 5% off, and publishes a 64M+ residential pool. On expiry the two of us agree, so the comparison comes down to the rate at each volume, session length, identity checks and payment. Every IPRoyal figure below links to the page it came from.

- Our rates are live from our catalogue and exclude the payment fee: cards add the processor's fee, crypto the gateway's.
- IPRoyal rates are as published on its own pages, and exclude VAT where those pages say so.
- Where a IPRoyal rate belongs to a monthly plan, it buys that volume each billing cycle. Our per-GB bandwidth is a one-off purchase that never expires.
- Where their volume is larger than our biggest single order, our figure is the rate for orders of our maximum size.
