The simpler, cheaper Proxy-Cheap alternative
Proxy-Cheap competes on entry price across residential, mobile, ISP and IPv6. We take a different route: bandwidth included with the plan rather than metered per gigabyte, and every proxy type in one subscription from $24.95/mo.

Why people look for a Proxy-Cheap alternative
Usually it is the bill. Proxy-Cheap competes on entry price across residential, mobile, ISP and IPv6. Once volume grows, a per gigabyte rate compounds in a way a flat plan does not, and low entry pricing is real, and the per gigabyte model still applies once volume grows.
Line item sprawl is the other reason. Buying residential, mobile, ISP and IPv6 separately means four products to track and four renewal dates, even at low individual prices.
Where Proxy-Cheap is the better choice
Proxy-Cheap has genuinely low entry points and sells small quantities without pressure, which suits testing and small jobs.
We would rather say that here than have you discover it after paying.
How the two models differ
Proxy-Cheap sells small quantities at low entry prices across residential, mobile, ISP and IPv6, each a separate line item. The saving here comes from consolidation: one plan covers all four types.
If you buy only one type in small volume, their entry price is hard to beat and we will not pretend otherwise. The maths changes once you need two or more types, or once residential volume passes a few dozen gigabytes.
Switching over
Standard HTTPS and SOCKS5 on one gateway host, so migration is a configuration change rather than a rewrite. Replace the host, port and credentials in your tool and your existing code keeps working.
Plans start at $24.95/mo with no minimum and no sales call. The comparison pages show the per gigabyte maths against each provider, and the setup guide covers the common tools.
