Rayobyte Slashes Mobile Proxy Rates by up to 98%
The price reduction sounds absurd but seems legitimate.
- Published:
Rayobyte, the US-based provider of proxy servers and web scraping tools, has revised the pricing of its mobile proxies.
Their plan sizes and rates have both changed; the latter fell by up to 98%. While this may be hard to believe, the baseline used to be very expensive at $25/GB.
Here are the previous pricing plans:
And these are the new ones:
Note how the Starter plan costs less per unit than everything up to Enterprise. From what we know, it applies only to the first 500 gigabytes.
Rayobyte’s mobile proxy network isn’t peer-to-peer. According to the provider, most IPs are sourced via B2B contracts with mobile carriers and are hosted on mobile device farms.
As such, the proxy pool covers fewer locations (predominantly the US) and has fewer IPs online at once. However, it can accrue a relatively large number of IP addresses over time, depending on how many are assigned to the nearby cell tower.
Rayobyte’s mobile proxies had been seemingly left for dead for several years before the provider found value in them and decided to reboot the product. You can learn more about the reasoning and results in this LinkedIn webinar (an account is necessary to view it).
