Is Lodestate the cheapest US proxy at every size?
No. On 29 October 2026, no single seller had the lowest price at every size, Lodestate included. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. Three facts limit any "cheapest" label:
- Missing sellers. Proxy-Cheap answered every request with HTTP 403 on 29 October 2026, so its prices are absent here.
- Free first gigabytes. Decodo, Thordata and Rayobyte give free trials, and Proxy Tower a free mobile hour.
- Thin entry tiers. According to Lodestate's check of 29 October 2026, only 7 of the 15 residential sellers showed a price for 1 GB; their median was $3.50/GB. The rest start at 5 GB or more.
The full table by seller is in the US proxy price index.
Why do targeting fees change which US proxy is cheapest?
The cheapest US proxy for local work is the cheapest one that includes ZIP targeting, not the lowest headline price. DataImpulse shows $1.00/GB, but charges "a small extra fee" for state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting. The amount is not on its site. SOAX reserves its ZIP and ASN options for the Scale and Enterprise tiers.
Country-level IPs answer national questions. Prices at a store, map rankings and local ads change by ZIP code. Read what ZIP code proxy targeting is before you compare headline prices.
What are the cheapest US mobile proxies?
Proxy Tower showed the lowest rival port prices on 29 October 2026: $5 a day, $20 a week and $60 for 30 days. Its ports run on Verizon or T-Mobile. The median 30-day price was $130 across five rivals. Lodestate charges $3.75, $15 and $45, on T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon.
For rotating mobile traffic, DataImpulse and Proxidize led at $2.00/GB from 50 GB. Proxidize asks every customer for KYC. The carrier-by-carrier view is in the best US mobile proxies.
How much cheaper per GB is a large Lodestate plan?
At $0.52/GB, Lodestate's 1 TB plan costs 65% less per GB than its 1 GB plan at $1.50. Every tier from 5 to 100 GB costs $0.75/GB, half the 1 GB rate. All tiers are on how much US proxies cost at Lodestate.
