Roam
IPRoyal alternative

A simpler, cheaper
IPRoyal alternative

IPRoyal earned its following with never-expiring traffic and honest, no-subscription pricing — the same philosophy Roam runs on. The difference is the entry price: IPRoyal's first gigabyte costs $7.35, and you need to buy 50GB+ to get near $5/GB. Roam gives you the never-expiring model at $2/GB from the very first gigabyte.

Quick verdict: Roam gives you rotating residential proxies at a flat $2/GB pay-as-you-go with no subscription and a balance that never expires — plus datacenter ($0.80/GB), mobile 4G/5G ($9/GB) and static residential IPs ($4/IP/mo) on the same wallet.

Why people switch to Roam

Same model, 3× lower entry price

Both let balance sit forever with no subscription. But IPRoyal's small-volume rate is $7.35/GB; Roam is $2/GB whether you buy 1GB or 500GB.

No bulk-tier games

IPRoyal's good rates require large upfront purchases. Roam has one flat rate — you never have to prepay big to stop overpaying.

Datacenter traffic by the GB

IPRoyal sells datacenter proxies per-IP. Roam also meters rotating datacenter traffic at $0.80/GB — useful when you need throughput, not addresses.

When IPRoyal still makes sense

IPRoyal is a reputable budget-friendly provider, and its per-IP datacenter and ISP products are handy if you want fixed addresses cheaply. If what you buy is residential traffic, Roam's flat $2/GB undercuts every IPRoyal tier short of massive bulk deals.

FAQ

Is Roam cheaper than IPRoyal for residential proxies?

At every realistic volume, yes. IPRoyal starts at $7.35/GB and reaches ~$5.15/GB at 50GB (as of July 2026); its advertised ~$1.75/GB applies only at very large bulk purchases. Roam is a flat $2/GB from 1GB up, with the same never-expiring traffic.

Does Roam traffic expire like IPRoyal's?

Neither expires — that's one thing both providers get right. Top up and the balance stays valid until you use it. No monthly fees on either; Roam is simply cheaper per GB.

Can I pay for Roam with crypto like on IPRoyal?

Yes — Roam accepts major cryptocurrencies, credit/debit cards and Alipay. Top-ups credit instantly.
