Are any US residential proxies cheaper than AmericaProxies?
Yes, at some volumes or under conditions. Rayobyte advertises "Residential Proxies from $0.0095/GB". That price applies to Scale Residential, which is priced by concurrency, has no targeting and serves verified businesses only, so it is not a per-GB plan.
Other providers, including sellers not listed on this page, may list lower per-GB prices at some volumes, so compare at your own volume. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. DataImpulse lists $1/GB, or $0.8/GB above 1 TB, and charges a small extra fee for state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting. All prices were checked on 2026-10-05.
Why does a targeting fee change the real price per GB?
A targeting fee raises the real price per GB whenever a job needs a state, city or ZIP code. Proxyway's 2026 market research found ZIP targeting at only 5 of 13 providers, against city targeting at all 13.
SOAX includes ZIP and ASN targeting only on Scale ($1,500 per month + VAT) and Enterprise ($3,000 per month + VAT). AmericaProxies includes ZIP code targeting and ASN targeting from the 1 GB plan up.
Why are US residential proxies under $0.50/GB a warning sign?
Very low per-GB prices can signal grey-market sourcing. Proxyway's 2026 market research describes "the grey market, where a gigabyte can cost $0.30 or even less". AmericaProxies's starting price, $0.52/GB on the 1 TB (1,000 GB) plan, stays above that band. For reference, Rayobyte lists $0.70/GB pay-as-you-go for 1–5 TB.
A low price alone proves nothing about any one provider's sourcing. The sourcing page lists the questions to ask any provider, AmericaProxies included.
Does a cheap US residential proxy still work for ZIP-level jobs?
A cheap plan works for ZIP-level jobs only if ZIP targeting is included and the pool is deep enough in that ZIP. Narrow filters draw on fewer IPs, so success rates can drop on small towns. Test your own targets on a 1 GB plan before you buy volume.

US residential proxy prices: FAQ
Which provider has the lowest US residential price per GB in 2026?

From 5 GB, DataImpulse lists $1/GB for country targeting, with a fee for finer targeting, and AmericaProxies lists $0.75/GB with ZIP targeting included.

Sellers not listed here may charge less, and we do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume.
Is DataImpulse's $1/GB the real price for city targeting?
No. DataImpulse's $1/GB covers country targeting. Its site says state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting are "offered for a small extra fee", and the plan starts at 5 GB. AmericaProxies charges $0.75/GB at 5 GB with all four targeting levels included (checked 2026-10-05).
How can I test US residential proxies on a small budget?
At AmericaProxies, the smallest plan is 1 GB at $1.50, with full state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting. No free trial — test with the 1 GB plan, paid from the minimum top-up; the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. Among rivals, NodeMaven sells a $3.50 trial for 750 MB, and Thordata lists $2.00 for 1 GB. Prices checked on 2026-10-05.

As of October 2026, 100 GB costs $0.75/GB; DataImpulse lists $1/GB. 500 GB costs $0.56/GB; Shifter lists $299 for 400 GB, about $0.75/GB. 1 TB (1,000 GB) costs $0.52/GB; Rayobyte lists $0.70/GB pay-as-you-go for 1–5 TB. Competitor prices were checked on 2026-10-05. Every tier stays above the grey-market band Proxyway describes.
Do cheap US residential proxies need KYC?
Some do. IPRoyal verifies every client. SOAX runs a Sumsub check if you pay with crypto. Rayobyte's Scale Residential serves verified businesses. AmericaProxies, a no-KYC US residential and mobile proxy provider, asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents. The no-KYC page explains what AmericaProxies keeps.
Which coin keeps fees low on a cheap US proxy plan?
On a small plan, network fees matter. It also accepts on-chain BTC, USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC, ETH, LTC and SOL. SOAX lists BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC and SOL.
Does cheap residential traffic expire?
At AmericaProxies, no: Prepaid residential and rotating-mobile traffic never expires: unused GB stay on your account until you use them. SOAX says its Sandbox and monthly credits expire after 60 days. Check expiry before you compare prices per GB.
Is it legal to buy cheap US residential proxies?
A low price does not change the legal picture: using a residential proxy is generally legal in the US, and the use is what counts. Check that a cheap provider publishes rules and an abuse contact. AmericaProxies supports price monitoring and SEO tracking, and blocks banking, government and payment portals, plus SMTP ports. This is not legal advice.
