Residential proxy pricing guide with worked examples: when Unlimited per-IP beats GB, idle IP waste, retry storms, and fair-use reality.
Residential proxy pricing is where worldwide buyers overpay—or underbuy and thrash on blocks. Proxy Grove Residential Unlimited starts at $2/IP/day.
Proxy Grove Unlimited pricing (live rates): Residential from $2/IP/day, Corporate from $2/IP/day, Mobile from $4.50/IP/day; 1/7/30/90 day durations; HTTP and SOCKS5; sticky or rotating; fair-use unlimited traffic on the plan; 246 countries and regions.
Two invoices
Per-IP unlimited: cost = IPs × days. Pay-per-GB: cost = bytes × rate (+ overages). Heavy screenshots flip the winner. Details: unlimited vs GB.
Worked example
6 sticky residential IPs × 30 days × $2 = $360. At 150 GB × $3.50 = $525. At 40 GB × $3.50 = $140. Measure your bytes.
Hidden costs
- Idle IP-days on per-IP plans
