PROXY PROVIDER COMPARISON

GonzoProxyvs IPRoyal

GonzoProxy and IPRoyal both describe purchased residential traffic that can remain available and support sticky sessions. GonzoProxy states no residential GB expiry; IPRoyal offers pay-as-you-go and subscription traffic with possible account-activity conditions and a configurable sticky TTL.

How you payResidential traffic is purchased in GB with volume-based tiers and no stated expiry. Mobile proxies are sold for a paid period with unlimited traffic during that period; confirm the location and current term at checkout.Residential GB can be bought pay-as-you-go or by renewing subscription, with bulk and subscription discounts. Purchased pay-as-you-go traffic is described as non-expiring under standard conditions, but account-specific activity rules may apply; other proxy types have separate per-IP or time-based terms.350 MB trial for $1.95, then prepaid packages from $6.50/GB for 1 GB down to $2.50/GB for 1 TB. Unused traffic never expires.
Integration workGenerate residential proxy credentials in the dashboard; connect over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 with username/password or IP authorization and select rotation, session and location. A separate account API documents proxy management.Configure geo, rotation and TTL in the dashboard, then copy an HTTP(S)/SOCKS5 proxy list into a script or browser. The residential account API uses a bearer token and a separate resi-api.iproyal.com/v1 base URL.HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 endpoints on three regional gateways: Europe, the Americas and Asia. Export proxy lists in 8 formats for scripts, scrapers and antidetect browsers.
A small or irregular jobA prepaid residential GB balance can suit sporadic jobs because GonzoProxy says it does not expire; estimate browser asset traffic before buying.A small residential pay-as-you-go order avoids a recurring plan; check account activity terms if you expect to hold the balance for a long time.Start with the 350 MB trial for $1.95 or a 1 GB package. Unused traffic never expires.
Browser workflowUse a sticky residential session for multi-page account work and configure the browser's HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 proxy; GonzoProxy is selling the proxy connection, not a hosted browser.Set a sticky residential TTL and proxy credentials on your own browser; budget for page assets and allow for peer churn.Sticky sessions from 1 second to 72 hours, with a named session ID for each browser profile.
Connecting an agentPass GonzoProxy gateway credentials to an MCP browser/fetch tool you operate, or use its account API for management; verify your tool's proxy and credential support.Route your MCP fetch or browser tool through an IPRoyal proxy, as its Claude guide describes; the residential account API manages orders/sessions, while Web Unblocker is separately billed.Point your agent's fetcher or browser tool at the proxy endpoint. ProxyLane supplies the network, not a hosted browser.
A growing production workloadResidential volume tiers and enterprise quotes exist; test the exact target and session policy before committing traffic for an entire fleet.Subscriptions and bulk purchases change the residential GB rate; check renewal and top-up settings before converting a one-off job into a recurring fleet.Target by country, region, city, ZIP, ISP or ASN across 195 countries. Larger packages lower the rate to $2.50/GB.
Check before moving
  • The residential product is metered by traffic; a long browser session can consume more GB than a small HTTP scrape.
  • Its separate mobile offering is sold by time, so do not apply residential per-GB terms to mobile.
  • A sticky TTL of up to seven days is a setting, not a guarantee that the same peer stays online.
  • The residential free trial is not generally available; the stated enterprise trial has qualification requirements.
  • Residential IPs only, with no mobile or datacenter plans.
  • A sticky session holds while the residential device stays online.
THE DECISION

Test a full visit and the balance between visits

For intermittent ad-account browsing, put both residential proxies into the same browser and use the required location and sticky settings. GonzoProxy supports country, city and ISP targeting; IPRoyal lets you set a TTL. Capture a full multi-page visit, including assets, because those bytes affect purchased GB. Observe peer changes rather than assuming a sticky setting keeps an IP indefinitely; IPRoyal's advertised maximum TTL does not guarantee that a peer stays online.

Then model how much purchased residential traffic sits unused between visits. GonzoProxy says its purchased residential GB does not expire. IPRoyal says pay-as-you-go traffic remains available under standard conditions but notes possible account-specific activity rules; its renewing subscription is another route for steady use. Confirm the checkout and account terms before projecting a long idle period. GonzoProxy's time-based mobile offer and IPRoyal's other proxy categories need separate estimates if the task changes pool.
