03 // FAQ

How does V-Proxies pricing compare to IPRoyal?

V-Proxies is $0.99/GB flat. IPRoyal's residential proxies start at $1.75/GB on small volumes and scale to $3.50/GB at lower tiers. V-Proxies is 1.75–3.5× cheaper per GB. Both offer never-expiring credits, which is a shared advantage over providers with monthly resets.

IPRoyal offers 24-hour sticky sessions. Does V-Proxies?

IPRoyal supports sticky sessions up to 24 hours — a genuine advantage for long-running account management or automation that requires extended IP consistency. V-Proxies caps sticky sessions at 60 minutes, which is sufficient for checkout flows and most scraping but falls short for overnight or multi-day sessions.

Does V-Proxies have a larger IP pool than IPRoyal?

IPRoyal lists approximately 3.4M+ IPs in the US alone, with substantial pools per major country. V-Proxies has 84M+ residential IPs globally. For most use cases, either pool is sufficient. V-Proxies has a clear numerical advantage on global IP diversity.

Does IPRoyal support IP whitelist authentication?

Yes — IPRoyal supports whitelisting specific IP addresses so you can authenticate without a username/password. V-Proxies uses username:password authentication only. For server environments where credential management is complex, IPRoyal's whitelist auth can simplify the setup.

Is V-Proxies a reliable replacement for IPRoyal?

For most use cases — web scraping, SEO monitoring, sneaker bots, price monitoring — V-Proxies is a direct drop-in. The same proxy URL format, similar geo-targeting syntax, and significantly lower cost per GB. The main trade-off is shorter max sticky sessions (60 min vs 24 hrs).
