NyxonProxies vs IPRoyal: residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter prices compared (2026)

IPRoyal and NyxonProxies both sell residential traffic that never expires and both take crypto. The differences are price per GB, session length, targeting, refunds and identity checks. A product-by-product comparison using list prices checked in October 2026.

IPRoyal is one of the better-known mid-priced proxy providers, selling residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile proxies through a self-service dashboard. It shares two habits with NyxonProxies that most large providers do not: residential traffic that never expires, and cryptocurrency as a payment option. That makes this a closer comparison than most. It comes down to price per gigabyte, session length and targeting, how refunds work, and how much identity checking you are willing to go through.

IPRoyal figures come from its product pages, KYC policy and terms of service, checked on 23 October 2026. NyxonProxies prices are from the live catalog on the same day.

Residential proxies

IPRoyal sells residential traffic pay as you go or on a subscription that costs 5% less:

  • 1 GB: $7.35/GB pay as you go, $7.00 on a subscription
  • 2 GB: $6.25/GB, or $5.95
  • 10 GB: $5.51/GB, or $5.25
  • Custom plans: $1.84/GB, or $1.75, available from 10 TB

NyxonProxies charges a flat $1.10/GB for its premium residential pool and $0.35/GB for Residential Budget, from 1 GB, with no subscription.

What that means in money:

  • 1 GB: $7.35 on IPRoyal; $1.10 premium or $0.35 Budget on NyxonProxies
  • 10 GB: $55.10 on IPRoyal ($52.50 on a subscription); $11 or $3.50 on NyxonProxies
  • 10 TB: $18,400 on IPRoyal ($17,500 on a subscription); $11,000 or $3,500 on NyxonProxies

Both providers say unused residential traffic never expires, so the gap is purely the rate.

Feature for feature, the two residential products are close. Both target by country, state and city (NyxonProxies goes below country level in the US only), both support HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, and neither limits concurrent sessions. IPRoyal advertises a pool of 64M+ IPs in 195+ countries; NyxonProxies has more than 120 million IPs in 160+ countries. The clear difference is session length: IPRoyal holds a sticky IP for up to 7 days, while NyxonProxies residential sessions last up to 120 minutes. If a job needs the same residential IP for days, that matters more than price, and a static ISP IP is the other way to get it. The sticky vs rotating guide covers how session length affects real jobs.

Mobile proxies

IPRoyal's rotating mobile proxies cost $6.80/GB on 2 GB, $6.00 on 10 GB, $5.60 on 50 GB and $5.20 on 100 GB. It also rents dedicated mobile proxies, starting at $10.11 for 24 hours.

NyxonProxies mobile costs $1.25/GB in 110+ countries, with sticky sessions up to 120 minutes. Ten gigabytes cost $12.50 instead of $60, and 100 GB cost $125 instead of $520. NyxonProxies does not sell dedicated mobile proxies, so if you need a mobile IP nobody else shares, that is an IPRoyal product.

ISP proxies

This is the one category where IPRoyal is cheaper. Its static residential (ISP) proxies are rented per proxy with unlimited traffic: from $1.80 for 24 hours, $2.70 for 30 days, $2.55 for 60 days and $2.40 for 90 days.

NyxonProxies dedicated ISP IPs cost $3 per IP for 30 days, from 1 to 1,000 IPs, so IPRoyal is about 30 cents cheaper per IP per month, and it offers one-day rentals and longer-term discounts that NyxonProxies does not. NyxonProxies also has a shared ISP pool billed at $0.50/GB, which costs less than any per-IP rental when a job moves little traffic. ISP proxies are covered in more depth in the ISP vs residential comparison.

Datacenter proxies

The two price datacenter proxies differently. IPRoyal rents dedicated datacenter IPs: from $1.57 per proxy for 30 days, $1.48 for 60 days and $1.39 for 90 days, in more than 60 locations.

NyxonProxies meters datacenter traffic at $0.36/GB, or bills it by speed in Mbps per day, from a US pool, and its IPv6 datacenter pool costs $0.10/GB. A fixed IP you keep for months favours IPRoyal's model; bursts of traffic through rotating IPs favour paying per gigabyte.

Payment, refunds and verification

Both take crypto, but the terms around it differ.

IPRoyal accepts cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), PayPal, Alipay and crypto. Its terms of service say paid fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, with a narrow exception: a full refund if the service does not work in the first 24 hours and IPRoyal cannot fix it promptly. Payments made in cryptocurrency, the terms add, are never eligible for a refund, whether partial or full, irrespective of the circumstances.

IPRoyal's KYC policy describes strict checks throughout the customer journey, and says identity verification at the purchase stage "ensures unrestricted access to all our services and features".

NyxonProxies takes crypto only and asks for no identity documents. Its terms say that if the network fails to perform on your target, unused bandwidth is credited back to your balance on request, and refunds of unused balance to a wallet are granted at its discretion and may carry a network fee. The balance itself never expires.

What IPRoyal does better

  • Long sessions. Sticky residential IPs for up to 7 days.
  • Static IPs. Cheaper monthly ISP rentals, plus 24-hour and 90-day options.
  • Payment choice. Cards and PayPal as well as crypto.
  • Dedicated mobile. A mobile proxy you do not share, rented by the day.

Which one to choose

Choose IPRoyal if you need residential IPs that stay the same for days, want to pay by card or PayPal, or rent static ISP IPs for months at a time.

Choose NyxonProxies if you buy rotating residential or mobile traffic, where it costs a fraction of IPRoyal's rate at every volume, or if you would rather not go through identity verification. On residential traffic the NyxonProxies premium pool costs less per gigabyte than IPRoyal's 10 TB custom rate.
