## How was the US proxy price index built?

Every figure comes from the seller's own page or docs, read on 29 October 2026, never from an affiliate review.

- **Tier price:** the lower of the pay-as-you-go rate at that volume and any plan at or under that size.
- **Shown price:** what a buyer paid without typing a code. Discounts applied by the page itself count.
- **Median:** the middle value of the sellers with a readable price at that tier.
- **Left out:** trials, typed promo codes, second-month-free offers, business-only plans and sales-quoted prices.
- **NetNut:** not a reference, because its domains were seized in July 2026. Networks that supply Lodestate are also left out.

## What are the limits of this price index?

**This index is a one-day snapshot published by a vendor, and it measures price only.**

- IPRoyal's 100 GB and 1 TB tiers were not on its page.
- Targeting fees are not added to any price.
- Live Proxies sells bundles of IPs, GB and days; its per-GB figure is the total divided by GB.
- There is no speed, success-rate or uptime data: Lodestate ran no performance tests.
