Cheap is a word that should make you nervous in the proxy business. It usually means recycled IPs, a pool that is mostly offline, and support that replies in four days.
anyIP leads with cheap and then backs it up with a pool of 48 million plus residential and mobile addresses, which is not a number you can fake for long.
What Is On the Menu
Broader than most providers at this price point:
- Residential proxies, the bulk of the pool
- Mobile proxies on carrier IPs
- Rotating and sticky sessions, your choice per request
- HTTPS and SOCKS5
- UDP proxies, which almost nobody else offers
That last one is worth stopping on. Most proxy services speak TCP only. If your work involves anything UDP based, you normally have to go hunting. Having it in the same dashboard as everything else is a genuine convenience.
The Pricing
Residential is sold per GB at rates in the low single digits, with mobile priced higher as it always is, because carrier data costs more.
No subscription trap, no minimum that only makes sense for an agency. You can start small and find out whether the IPs work on your targets before you think about volume.
If you are still weighing whether to pay at all, free proxy vs paid proxy lays out where free stops being enough.
The Tooling Is the Tell
Here is what made me warm to this one.
The site carries free utilities like cURL converters, plus use case pages that read as instructions rather than sales copy. Web scraping, Amazon, the usual suspects, each with actual guidance.
Providers who ship small developer tools are usually providers who use their own product. It is a soft signal, but it has a decent hit rate.
Where It Performs
Scraping on a budget
The main use. Low per GB rates plus a deep enough pool means you can run real volume without a finance conversation.
Sticky sessions for account work
Hold an address for the length of a login flow instead of getting swapped mid request. Standard, but it needs to actually work, and here it does.
Mobile when residential is not enough
Having both under one account means you can escalate from residential to mobile on a stubborn target without opening a second vendor relationship.
Who It Fits
- Developers and solo operators watching the budget
- Anyone who needs UDP alongside normal HTTP work
- Scrapers who want residential and mobile from one dashboard
- People testing an idea before committing to enterprise pricing
Who Might Look Elsewhere
Large organisations wanting SLAs, dedicated account management and procurement paperwork will be happier with one of the enterprise names. That is not what this is.
If you need a single dedicated IP you keep for a year, a static ISP specialist is a better and cheaper fit than a per GB pool.
Final Verdict
anyIP is a well judged budget provider that does not feel budget while you are using it.
The pool is real, the protocol coverage is wider than the price suggests, and the free tooling points at a team that understands the work rather than just the market. UDP support alone makes it worth bookmarking even if you use someone else day to day.
