Best Datacenter Proxies 2026: From $0.30/GB or $0.02/IP
Datacenter proxies are server IPs: the fastest and cheapest proxy class, and the easiest for a target to detect, because bot filters index commercial ASN ranges on sight. Buy them for work that does not check ASN class, APIs, open data, staging, anything unprotected, and the November 2026 floor is $0.45/GB (Evomi), $0.50/GB (DataImpulse), $0.49/IP (Proxy-Seller IPv4) or $0.02/IP (Proxy-Seller IPv6).
Datacenter pricing splits into two models (verified November 2026). Per GB, for bursty scraping: Evomi at $0.45/GB pay-as-you-go ($0.30/GB at 1 TB, unlimited concurrency) and DataImpulse at $0.50/GB flat ($0.45 at 1 TB, traffic never expires). Per IP, for steady throughput: Proxy-Seller IPv4 from $0.49/IP and IPv6 from $0.02/IP, Floppydata static from $0.79/IP, IPRoyal dedicated from $1.39/IP with unlimited bandwidth. Enterprise: Bright Data from $0.60/GB or $0.90/IP shared; Oxylabs from $0.44/GB shared or $1.20/IP dedicated across 188 countries.

Per-GB providers: bursty workloads
Evomi: $0.45/GB, cheapest at volume
Evomi bills datacenter per GB with unlimited concurrency: $0.45/GB pay-as-you-go, $0.40 on 200 GB, $0.35 on 500 GB, $0.30 on 1,000 GB ($300/month). Country and ISP targeting are included across 181 countries. The floor rate of $0.30/GB is the cheapest datacenter bandwidth on this page. The catch is structural: every proxy request bills a minimum of 512 bytes, which only matters at very high volumes of tiny requests.
DataImpulse: $0.50/GB flat, never expires
DataImpulse prices datacenter at $0.50/GB ($5 for 10 GB intro) down to $0.45/GB at the 1 TB tier ($450), from a 20M-IP pool in 195+ locations with sub-100 ms latency and a 99.9% advertised uptime. Purchased traffic never expires, sticky sessions hold up to 30 minutes, and IP-whitelist authentication is available. For uneven calendars, non-expiring datacenter GBs at a flat rate beat a monthly commitment.
Bright Data and Oxylabs: enterprise per-GB
Bright Data sells datacenter per GB at $0.60/GB pay-as-you-go, dropping to $0.51 (1 TB, $499/mo), $0.45 (2 TB) and $0.42 (5 TB), alongside per-IP shared plans from $1.40/IP at 10 to $0.90 at 1,000. Oxylabs prices shared datacenter per GB from $0.60 down to $0.40 at volume (dedicated per-IP from $2.00 to $1.20 across 188 countries). Both make sense when datacenter rides on a broader enterprise contract.
Per-IP providers: steady throughput
When a job pushes consistent traffic through a known set of addresses, per-IP pricing with unlimited bandwidth beats per-GB, and the crossover arrives fast: at roughly 30 GB/month through one address, a $0.79 static IP has already beaten $0.50/GB metered traffic.
Proxy-Seller: IPv4 from $0.49/IP, IPv6 from $0.02/IP
Proxy-Seller lists dedicated IPv4 from $0.49/IP across 40+ countries, with volume discounts up to 30% and the AUTOMATE15 code stacking another 15%. IPv6 addresses at $0.02/IP are the cheapest proxy product on the market, period, and fit IPv6-native targets (Google, Facebook, Reddit). Full tier ladders price out in the on-site configurator, and dead addresses are replaced or refunded within 24 hours.
Floppydata: static from $0.79/IP
Floppydata sells static datacenter IPs from $0.79/IP/month in bundles of 20, 50 or 100 with unlimited bandwidth, and its rotating balance ($1/GB) also covers datacenter exits when you want rotation instead of fixed addresses. Twenty static IPs run about $16/month, the cheapest small bundle here.
IPRoyal: dedicated with headroom
IPRoyal dedicated datacenter runs $1.57/IP (30 days), $1.48 (60), $1.39 (90, the popular tier), with unlimited traffic, ~10 ms latency, ~2 Gbps throughput and 10,000+ concurrent connections per address per its published specs, plus a 100 GB/month fair-use allowance pooled per IP. The most expensive entry here, and the only one publishing throughput specs, which matters for load-heavy jobs.
When datacenter is the wrong purchase
Datacenter fails fast on Amazon, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google SERP (without CAPTCHA handling) and most Cloudflare-fronted sites; the class decision guide covers the escalation path to residential, ISP and mobile. The ten-request test settles it: send ten requests through a datacenter IP; 403s or challenges mean buy a different class, not more datacenter IPs.
Per GB for bursty work: Evomi at $0.45/GB pay-as-you-go ($0.30 at 1 TB) and DataImpulse at a flat $0.50/GB with traffic that never expires. Per IP for steady throughput: Proxy-Seller IPv4 from $0.49 and IPv6 from $0.02, Floppydata static from $0.79/IP, IPRoyal dedicated from $1.39/IP with unlimited bandwidth. All verified November 2026.
Metered datacenter traffic runs $0.45 to $0.60 per GB at entry, dropping to $0.30 to $0.40 at committed volume. Per-IP pricing runs $0.02 (Proxy-Seller IPv6) to $2.00 per address per month with unlimited bandwidth at most providers. For jobs above roughly 30 GB/month per address, per-IP is usually cheaper.
Because the supply is ordinary server bandwidth. Residential and mobile pools pay consumer device owners for traffic; datacenter pools run on hosting capacity that providers already own at scale. The offsetting cost is detectability: commercial ASN ranges are indexed and flagged by every serious anti-bot system.
Buy per GB when traffic is bursty or unpredictable (Evomi, DataImpulse, Bright Data per-GB); you pay for what you push and nothing idles. Buy per IP when throughput is steady through a known set of addresses (Proxy-Seller, Floppydata, IPRoyal); unlimited bandwidth at a flat per-address price wins once each IP carries more than about 30 GB/month.
On IPv6-native targets, yes: Google, Facebook and Reddit serve over IPv6, and Proxy-Seller sells IPv6 addresses at $0.02/IP, the cheapest per-address product available. Most other sites still require IPv4, and many scraping tools need explicit IPv6 configuration, so treat IPv6 as a targeted complement, not a default.
No. Both classify datacenter ASNs immediately and respond with 403s, challenges or silent blocks. Those targets need residential or ISP proxies; see our datacenter vs residential vs ISP comparison for the escalation path.
