Proxy Rotator vs IPRoyal
The short version: IPRoyal's $1.75/GB headline needs a 10TB commitment. Their published plans stop at 10GB, where the rate is $5.25/GB, so a 750GB month is priced on request. The same 750GB is included here for $99.95.

Where IPRoyal is the better choice
IPRoyal's non expiring traffic model is genuinely good if your usage is lumpy. Buy once, use it over months, nothing evaporates at the end of a billing cycle. They also sell single IPs at flat rates, which suits people who need a handful of static addresses rather than a rotating pool.
Where we are the better choice
IPRoyal advertises residential from $1.75/GB at 10TB and up, plus non expiring traffic that does not burn if you pause. Below that commitment their published tiers run $5.25 to $7.00/GB.
If the deciding factor is cost per gigabyte at steady volume, the arithmetic favours us heavily. You get residential, datacenter, mobile and IPv6 on one gateway, country targeting, a rotating proxy API, and no conversation with a salesperson before your first request.
Migrating from Iproyal specifically
IPRoyal encodes country and session directly in the username, so migrating means moving that logic out of the credential string and into your port and dashboard selection instead.
If you were relying on non expiring traffic, plan the switch for the start of a billing month so you are not abandoning a balance you have already paid for.
Both services speak standard HTTPS and SOCKS5, so the transport layer needs no changes. Authenticate by whitelisting your server IP or with a user and password. The setup guide covers the common tools.
