Web Unblocker / scraping API

GProxy Not offered (proxies only)

IPRoyal Web Unblocker from $1/1000 requests — AI rotation

If you need AI-driven scraping API, IPRoyal has it.

IPRoyal's positioning: budget premium with broad catalog

IPRoyal sits between budget providers (Webshare, GProxy) and premium (Bright Data, Oxylabs). Their differentiators: 'traffic never expires' policy on residential (you buy GBs once and use them whenever), a strong mobile network with 5G speeds up to 100 Mbps, 60+ datacenter locations, and a Web Unblocker AI API. GProxy is positioned more toward the budget end with unique product offerings like standalone IPv6.

Residential pricing

IPRoyal residential starts at $1.75/GB — published as "from $1.75/GB" on iproyal.com/pricing. GProxy residential is $0.85/GB pay-as-you-go dropping to $0.49/GB at volume. A 100 GB scrape: ~$175 on IPRoyal vs $49-85 on GProxy. The trade-off: IPRoyal's network is 32M+ residential IPs across 195+ countries; GProxy is 10M+ IPs residential in 150+ countries.

The 'traffic never expires' policy

IPRoyal advertises that purchased GBs never expire — you can buy 100 GB today, use 20 GB this month, and the rest sits in your account. This is unusual: most providers expire unused traffic monthly. GProxy doesn't publish a parallel guarantee, but pay-per-day billing means you only pay when you actually need proxies — a different solution to the same 'don't waste money on unused bandwidth' problem.

ISP, datacenter, mobile

IPRoyal ISP starts at $2.40/proxy (500K+ pool). GProxy ISP shared is $1.50/IP/month (min 20). For datacenter, IPRoyal starts at $1.39/proxy across 60+ locations; GProxy shared datacenter is $0.50/IP/month. The largest gap is mobile: IPRoyal has 4.5M+ mobile IPs with 5G up to 100 Mbps starting at $117/month. GProxy has ~67 active mobile IPs and offers no high-speed mobile product — for serious mobile work, IPRoyal is the better fit.

Web Unblocker — IPRoyal's unique product

IPRoyal's Web Unblocker at $1 per 1,000 requests is an AI-driven scraping API that handles fingerprint rotation, anti-bot detection, and location switching automatically. GProxy doesn't offer an equivalent — we sell proxies, not managed scraping APIs. If you want a managed solution, IPRoyal has it.

What only GProxy offers

Standalone IPv6 proxies from $0.03/proxy/3 days, rotating IPv6 backconnect from $2.50/day, flat unlimited bandwidth from $3/day, virgin ISP tier with 0 fraud score, and SOCKS4 protocol.

What only IPRoyal offers
