Top 8 IPRoyal Alternatives in 2026

GonzoProxy is built on P2P technology with a pool of over 20 million real devices. This isn't a resale of someone else's pool, like most providers have, but our own infrastructure. The company is officially registered in the UK (GonzoProxy LTD) and has been on the market for three years already.

The main difference from IPRoyal and other competitors is in the principle of working with traffic. You buy gigabytes once, and they stay on your balance forever. Didn't use them this month, use them next month or in six months. For teams that work in waves or seasonally, the savings reach up to 40% just from this alone.

From our experience, here's an example. A team of eight media buyers purchased 500 GB in January to launch campaigns. They actively ran traffic in February-March, then the project paused until June. They came back, and all the traffic was there, nothing had expired. With IPRoyal they would have had to buy again.

Proxy Types

The service offers two main types:

• Dynamic residential proxies. IPs from a P2P network of real home connections. The sticky session mechanism works for up to 7 days, keeping the IP as long as possible. If the donor device disconnects, the system automatically selects a similar IP based on specified parameters (city, provider). Create even a thousand proxies for free, pay only for used traffic.
  

• Unlimited mobile proxies. IPs from 3G/4G/5G mobile operators with completely unlimited traffic for a fixed price. You can use one proxy for multiple accounts, just changing the IP through the panel with one click. Each change gives a new unique mobile address. Currently available in Ukraine and Poland, other countries are being added.

Key Features

• No KYC system. No documents, passports, selfies with paper. Login through Google, get access in 30 seconds. For 95% of platforms this is enough. Verification is only needed if you work with financial services or government portals.
  
• Precise geo-targeting at no extra cost. You choose country, city and specific internet service provider (ISP) for free. With most competitors, provider selection costs extra money or isn't available at all. For advertising accounts this is critical. You can select an IP from the same provider as your target audience.
  
• Low fraud score. IPs go through multi-level filtering. The system automatically filters out addresses with blocks and bad history. Up to 90% of addresses have a fraud score below 0.1, which provides 90% protection from bans on Facebook, Google and TikTok.
  
• 24/7 Telegram support. Real people respond within 5 minutes, not bots or ticket systems. They'll help set up, select optimal parameters for your task, quickly replace proxies if something goes wrong.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Traffic never expires. The only service on the market with unlimited storage
• Unlimited proxy creation for free. Pay only for gigabytes used
• Official UK registration. You work with a real company, not an anonymous provider
• 99.6% uptime with ISO certification. Enterprise-level stability
  

Cons

• Mobile proxies currently only in two countries (though actively expanding geography)
• No operator selection for mobile proxies

Ideal Use Cases

1. Traffic arbitrage and media buying. Managing dozens or hundreds of Facebook Ads and Google Ads advertising accounts. Low IP fraud score provides moderation pass-through, sticky sessions up to 7 days ensure account stability. The "1 proxy = 1 account" scheme works perfectly.
   
2. Social media farming. TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, OnlyFans for any platforms where uniqueness of each account is needed. Create a thousand proxies with city targeting, pay only for traffic you actually used.
   
3. Parsing and scraping. Data collection from e-commerce platforms, competitor price monitoring, SERP analysis. IP rotation on demand or by timer, automatic replacement of problematic addresses. For large-scale parsing, launch several proxies in parallel.
   
4. E-commerce automation. Purchasing limited items through bots, working with marketplaces, multiple accounts on eBay/Amazon. Different IPs from one city create natural buyer behavior.

Comparison table of key parameters:

Key takeaways from the comparison:

• GonzoProxy is the only one on the market where traffic is stored indefinitely. This is a fundamental difference from all competitors, including IPRoyal. For teams and professionals, savings from this option reach 30-40% of annual proxy budget.
  
• GonzoProxy's IP fraud score is one of the lowest. Thanks to the P2P network from real devices and multi-level filtering, 90% of addresses show a score below 0.1. For IPRoyal and other alternatives, this indicator is 3-6 times worse.
  
• Specific ISP selection at no extra cost is only available in GonzoProxy. For advertising accounts, the ability to choose provider Comcast or AT&T gives an additional layer of protection from detection. Competitors either don't offer this option or charge separately for it.
• ‍Sticky sessions up to 7 days versus 30-120 minutes with competitors means better stability for long-term campaigns. Accounts stay on one IP longer, which looks more natural to anti-fraud systems.
