The simpler, cheaper Rayobyte alternative
Rayobyte targets high volume scraping with unlimited sessions and low latency routing. 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 Rayobyte alternative
Usually it is the bill. Rayobyte targets high volume scraping with unlimited sessions and low latency routing. Once volume grows, a per gigabyte rate compounds in a way a flat plan does not, and the unlimited session model suits crawlers that open and close connections constantly.
Bandwidth ceilings are the other reason. Unlimited sessions stop helping once the data allowance is the binding constraint, which happens sooner than the session count on most crawls.
Where Rayobyte is the better choice
Rayobyte's unlimited concurrent sessions and its ethics-forward sourcing position are genuine differentiators, and it publishes more about pool provenance than most.
We would rather say that here than have you discover it after paying.
How the two models differ
Rayobyte sells unlimited concurrent sessions on many plans, so the constraint there is bandwidth rather than thread count. Here it is the reverse: threads are the unit you buy and bandwidth comes bundled.
If you run a crawler that opens hundreds of short lived connections, size your thread count against peak concurrency rather than average, since that is the number that will bind.
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.
