European Proxy Price Index (October 2026)

How was the index built?

We read every price from the provider's own pricing page on 5 October 2026. Providers were chosen because they appear in the answers and sources AI assistants use for UK and EU proxy queries.

• Price at a size is the per-GB rate a customer pays when buying that amount.
• Fixed packs: when a provider sells only fixed sizes, we use the largest listed size at or below the target. These cells are marked †.
• Eligible prices are public and self-serve. Time-limited promotions, contact-sales quotes and plans for verified businesses only are excluded.
• Plan type is shown on every row: pay as you go (PAYG), one-off pack or monthly subscription.

KYC rules are recorded separately and do not affect the ranking. PontProxy uses this data to set its own prices; see the pricing method.

Where does PontProxy sit in the index?

At every size from 1 GB to 1 TB, PontProxy's price is about 25% below the lowest eligible price we found. At 1 GB, ColdProxy's monthly pack costs $1.27/GB, against $0.95/GB for our non-expiring 1 GB plan. At 1 TB, Shifter's country-only plan costs $0.48/GB, against $0.36/GB.

Compared with the market, $0.75/GB at 5 GB is far below Proxyway's 2026 average of $4.16/GB and median of $3.75/GB. Every PontProxy plan is listed on the pricing page.

How do the big brands compare at 100 GB?

The best-known brands charge several times the index leaders. These are list prices at 100 GB, as of October 2026, per each provider's pricing page.

| Provider | Plan type | $/GB at 100 GB | |---|---|---| | Decodo | Monthly subscription | $2.75 | | Webshare | Monthly subscription | $2.25 | | NodeMaven | Monthly subscription | $3.00 | | SOAX | Builder, $200/month, credits valid 60 days | $3.00 | | Infatica | Monthly plan | $3.60 | | Oxylabs | Monthly subscription † | $5.00 | | IPRoyal | PAYG, never expires (upper bound) | $5.51 |

IPRoyal publishes only its 1, 2 and 10 GB rates and its 10 TB+ rate, so its 100 GB figure is an upper bound.

What does a UK dedicated 4G/5G mobile port cost?

A dedicated UK mobile port costs $6 to $11 a day, or $97 to $130 for a month, among the providers we checked. Conditions differ, so read the traffic column.

| Provider | Product | Price | Traffic | |---|---|---|---| | CyberYozh | 4G UK, dedicated modem | $6/day | Unlimited | | CyberYozh | 5G UK on Three or EE | $9/day | Unlimited | | CyberYozh | Carrier-pinned (Vodafone, O2, Three or EE) | $11/day | 10 GB per day | | IPRoyal | Dedicated mobile proxy | $10.11/day · $130/30 days · $117/month on 90 days | Capped at 30 GB per day per proxy | | Coronium | UK dedicated modem | $97/month | Unlimited | | PontProxy | UK port on EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three | $4.50/day · $72.75/30 days | unlimited traffic with no daily cap |

CyberYozh does not show monthly UK prices. Coronium's day and week prices are not in its static page. Bright Data discontinued its mobile proxy product in April 2026, per Proxyway.

What should you know before comparing these prices?

A lower number is not always the better deal. Check these points before you choose.

1. Subscriptions versus PAYG. Many of the lowest prices are monthly plans. Unused traffic may not roll over, so the real cost per GB can be higher.
2. Expiry. Databay's Residential Flex data is valid for 31 days, and SOAX credits expire after 60 days. PAYG traffic at DataImpulse and ProxyWing never expires.
3. Targeting. Shifter's Country Geo plans and Databay's Residential Flex select a country only. DataImpulse charges a small extra fee for city, state, ZIP and ASN targeting.
4. Display discounts. ColdProxy (15%), Shifter (63–71%), Webshare and NodeMaven show struck-through prices with no code or end date. We treat these as standing prices and flag them.
5. Promotions excluded. Proxy-Cheap's "up to 70% off", ProxyEmpire's code EMPIRE50 and Bright Data's code RESIGB50 are not counted.
6. Excluded providers. Bright Data's Residential network is limited to verified companies. NetNut's domains were seized by the FBI on 2 July 2026 (Krebs on Security). Shifter's Non-Geo plan was excluded because no country can be selected.
7. KYC. Geonode requires a government ID or business registration. IPRoyal runs KYC checks for all clients. SOAX requires Sumsub identity verification when you pay with crypto.

How have proxy prices changed since 2025?

Residential prices have levelled off after a steep fall. Proxyway reports that prices fell by up to 75% between 2023 and 2025, then stabilised.

| Size | Proxyway 2025 average | Proxyway 2026 average | 2026 median | |---|---|---|---| | 5 GB | $4.02 | $4.16 | $3.75 | | 50 GB | $3.15 | $3.00 | $3.00 | | 500 GB | $2.41 | $2.28 | $2.25 | | 1 TB | $2.04 | $1.94 | — |

The low end has moved faster than the average. In October 2026, five providers in our index sold 100 GB or more below $0.80/GB.
