Head to head
IPRoyal built its reputation on accessible pricing and a low barrier to entry, including small-denomination purchases that suit individual developers and very small teams. It also operates a consumer-facing bandwidth-sharing programme, which is where a meaningful part of its residential supply originates.
FleetProxy targets the tier above: teams whose collection is a business process rather than a side project, and who care about targeting depth, session control and per-gigabyte rates that fall with committed volume.
The two overlap most at the entry point and diverge as volume grows.

At a glance
IPRoyal for the smallest budgets and one-off jobs. FleetProxy when the workload is recurring and targeting depth starts to matter.
At tiny volumes the difference is mostly the minimum purchase, and IPRoyal is hard to beat there. As volume grows the questions change: can you pin an ASN, how long can a session stay sticky, does unused bandwidth survive to next quarter, and how granular is the usage telemetry when a job's block rate moves. Those are the axes we build on, and they are what a recurring workload is eventually judged by.
How the claims on this page are written
IPRoyal
A value-oriented self-serve provider with a low entry point, a broad product range including sneaker and gaming-oriented proxies, and residential supply partly sourced through a consumer bandwidth-sharing application.
Side by side
Eight dimensions that actually change the decision. Rows describe positioning rather than quoting figures we cannot keep current.
| Dimension | FleetProxy | IPRoyal |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Recurring commercial workloads | Value segment, from individuals upward |
| Entry point | 50MB free trial, then prepaid gigabytes | Very low minimum purchase |
| ASN targeting | On every bandwidth-billed product | Available on selected products |
| Sticky sessions | Up to 30 minutes residential, 60 minutes mobile | Supported, with limits varying by product |
| Bandwidth expiry | Never expires | Varies by product; check the terms of the pool you buy |
| Telemetry | Per-plan bandwidth, success rate and country breakdown in the dashboard | Usage reporting available; depth varies |
| Supply sourcing | Contracted supply with consent documentation available on request | Includes a consumer bandwidth-sharing programme |
| Niche products | None. Eight general-purpose proxy products | Includes sneaker and gaming-oriented offerings |
Rotating residential proxies
A fresh residential IP on every request, or one held for 30 minutes
The honest part
A comparison that concludes we win on every axis is an advertisement. These are the conditions we would use ourselves.
Your compliance team asks where residential IPs come from
It is a reasonable question with real regulatory weight, and we can answer it with documentation rather than with a marketing line.
You need consistent targeting across every product
Country, city and ASN work the same way on every bandwidth-billed product here, so a workload can move between pools without a rewrite.
Usage data feeds your own dashboards
Per-plan bandwidth, success rate and country breakdowns are in the API, not only in the interface.
You need a very small one-off purchase
A single job that needs a couple of gigabytes and nothing else is served well by a low minimum, and there is no reason to over-engineer it.
You want a niche product we do not sell
Their range extends into segments we deliberately do not serve. If that is your use case, they are the better supplier.
Absolute lowest headline rate is the deciding factor
If the requirement is the cheapest gigabyte and nothing else, buy on that basis — just measure the success rate before deciding which gigabyte was actually cheaper.
Questions
Recommendation
Start where the volume is. A one-off job with a two-gigabyte appetite does not need what we build, and pretending otherwise wastes your money. A recurring workload with targeting requirements and a compliance review ahead of it is a different purchase entirely.
