[\[10\]](#source-10) Which one fits ## An honest verdict ### Choose Proxy-Cheap if… - Your residential use sits between about 38 GB and 460 GB a month, where Proxy-Cheap's $0.78/GB beats our rate. - You need IPv6 proxies by the IP: datacenter IPv6 from $0.15/IP a month and US static residential IPv6 from $0.52. - You want a single static residential or datacenter IP for a week, from $1.99 or $1.13. - You pay by PayPal or a regional wallet such as iDEAL, Przelewy24 or Kakao Pay. ### Choose SerpProxies if… - You buy small amounts or a lot: we're $1.15/GB at 10 GB against Proxy-Cheap's $1.20, and cheaper again from about 460 GB. - You need mobile traffic per GB: ours is $1.94/GB at 10 GB, Proxy-Cheap's is $5.99 at any volume. - You need ASN targeting or UDP on residential, which Proxy-Cheap's rotating residential doesn't offer. - You want to test before you pay: we give free residential traffic with no card, where Proxy-Cheap sells paid 7-day plans. - You'll spend more than $250: Proxy-Cheap requires ID verification from that point, while we verify only when a risk check asks. Switching ## Moving from Proxy-Cheap takes an afternoon 1. 1 ### Test on your own targets Create an account and use the free residential traffic on the sites you actually scrape or run — no card needed. 2. 2 ### Swap the gateway Replace host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string, so most code doesn't change. 3. 3 ### Move volume over Top up a balance that never expires and shift traffic job by job. The per-GB rate drops automatically as your volume grows. Switch in an afternoon ## Same gateway format. No monthly plan. Credit that never expires. Swap host, port and credentials, keep your targeting in the username, and move volume over job by job.

As of October 2026 Proxy-Cheap's rotating residential is $1.50/GB from 3 GB, $1.20/GB from 4 GB and $0.78/GB from 51 GB. That makes Proxy-Cheap cheaper between about 38 GB and 460 GB; SerpProxies is cheaper below that and again from about 460 GB, reaching $0.65/GB at 1 TB. Proxy-Cheap caps self-serve residential top-ups at 50 GB a month. No. Its help center says it doesn't offer a free trial and suggests a paid 1-week purchase instead, such as a $1.99 static residential IP. SerpProxies gives free residential traffic with no card required. Sometimes. Its refund policy allows a full refund on bandwidth plans if no more than 20% of the traffic was used, and on time-based plans within 3 days of purchase; nothing is refunded if required KYC isn't completed. SerpProxies refunds on request under its satisfaction guarantee. Yes, once you top up $300 or more at once, reach $250 in total top-ups, or request a referral payout; the account is frozen for purchases and renewals until you pass. SerpProxies asks for verification only when a risk check calls for it. Proxy-Cheap's help center limits rotating residential to 100 concurrent connections and 100 Mbps, and says the limits can't be upgraded. Create an account, claim the free trial and swap the gateway host, port and credentials in your tool. Country, city and session settings go in the username string, so most scrapers and bots need only a config change.
