When to pick ProxyOmega

  • You burn through more than ~30 GB/month and want the bill to stop growing with usage.
  • You run multiple long-running scrapers in parallel.
  • You want a single network to also cover mobile, IPv6 or premium residential needs as you scale.
  • You want 24/7 live chat instead of ticketing.

When to pick IPRoyal

  • You only need residential bandwidth occasionally and per-GB is genuinely cheaper at your usage.
  • You want the absolute lowest per-GB headline rate on the market.
  • Your workload is one-shot data collection rather than continuous scraping.
  • You prefer packing pre-paid GB rather than monthly billing.

Where IPRoyal’s $1.75/GB actually wins

At IPRoyal’s advertised entry rate, ProxyOmega’s $51.99/month Budget Unlimited becomes the cheaper option past roughly 30 GB per month. Below that, IPRoyal’s per-GB model is the lower line item.

For occasional collection (a one-off market study, an ad-hoc data pull, a small-volume side project), buying a 10 GB or 20 GB pack on a per-GB provider is the right answer. The flat model only pays off when traffic is sustained.

Pool size and rotation

IPRoyal advertises around 32M residential IPs with country, state and city targeting. For most low-volume scraping workloads, that pool is adequate. At higher concurrency, smaller pools tend to surface more frequent block patterns on the same target.

ProxyOmega advertises a larger rotating pool across 70+ countries on Budget Unlimited and 150+ on Premium Unlimited, with ASN targeting available on Platinum. The deeper pool tends to matter more on protected targets at high request rates.

Support and tooling

IPRoyal’s support runs through ticketing. Response times are reasonable but synchronous chat is not standard at entry tiers.

ProxyOmega offers 24/7 live chat at every tier. For teams operating across timezones or running incident-heavy workloads, that channel difference matters.

Choosing the right model

The honest answer is volume-dependent. If your steady-state monthly traffic is under ~30 GB, IPRoyal is cheaper on the line item. If it is above that, ProxyOmega is cheaper and the bill stays flat.

Many teams start on per-GB and migrate to flat-rate once their scrapers stabilise. ProxyOmega is built for that second phase: predictable, unlimited and self-serve.
