Evaluating Rayobyte? Here's the Real Question to Ask
Rayobyte has built a reputation as a datacenter-heavy provider with residential offerings layered on top — a reasonable fit for teams that already know they want volume-priced datacenter IPs and are willing to work through a more traditional sales process to get there. If that's not your situation — if you want to see pricing on a page, sign up in the next five minutes, and actually run traffic before deciding — it's worth looking at what a self-serve residential proxy platform offers instead.
This isn't a spec-for-spec teardown of Rayobyte's numbers, because we don't have verified data on their current pool size or per-GB rates to compare fairly. Instead, here's what BuyProxy offers on its own terms, and why that combination tends to win out for teams evaluating alternatives.
What BuyProxy Brings to the Table
A Trial You Can Start Today
BuyProxy runs a 5-day free trial on the Pro plan. It's self-serve — no discovery call, no waiting on a sales rep to size your use case. A card is required to start, and the first charge lands after the trial period ends, so you have a genuine window to validate the network against your actual targets before committing. Start the trial here.
Pay-As-You-Go That Scales Down in Price
At $1.99/GB pay-as-you-go, BuyProxy credits never expire and top-ups start at just 5GB. If your volume grows, the tiered plans bring the effective rate down — as low as roughly $1.00/GB on the Advanced plan (300GB/month). Top up 100GB or more at once and you get a 10% bonus on top of that. See the full pricing table.
A Genuinely Large, City-Targetable Pool
BuyProxy's residential network covers 72.8M+ IPs across 195+ countries, with full city-level geo-targeting included — not gated behind a higher tier. Compare targeting options.
Rotating and Sticky Sessions, Every Protocol
Sessions can rotate on every request or stick to the same exit IP for up to 30 minutes, and the network supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 out of the box — so you're not locked into a single protocol depending on your stack.
Build Your Own Business On Top
BuyProxy runs a reseller and white-label program available on the Business, Advanced, and Enterprise plans — something not every proxy provider offers as a self-serve option.
Know What You're Using, In Real Time
A real-time analytics dashboard tracks usage as it happens, and a REST API with official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, and Ruby means you can wire proxy management directly into your existing pipeline instead of clicking through a dashboard for every change.
Where a Provider Like Rayobyte Might Still Fit
If your workload is genuinely datacenter-heavy, or you specifically want a provider with an established sales and account-management process for large custom deployments, that's a different set of priorities than what a self-serve platform is built for. This isn't a claim that BuyProxy beats Rayobyte on every metric — we simply don't have verified numbers to make that comparison honestly. What we can say is that if self-serve access, a real trial, and transparent scaling pricing matter more to you than a managed sales relationship, BuyProxy is built around exactly that.
Switching Over
Moving to BuyProxy means updating your endpoint and credentials — most standard HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy integrations drop in without any code restructuring. See setup guides on the blog.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BuyProxy offer a free trial?
Yes — a 5-day self-serve trial on the Pro plan. A card is required to start, but you won't be charged until the trial ends, giving you time to test against your real targets first.
Is BuyProxy cheaper than Rayobyte?
We can't make that comparison honestly without verified current Rayobyte pricing, and we're not going to guess. What we can say is that BuyProxy's pricing is fully public: $1.99/GB pay-as-you-go, or tiered plans from $30/mo, both listed on the pricing page with no quote required.
Does BuyProxy support sticky sessions?
Yes — sessions persist for up to 30 minutes when you need session continuity, alongside standard per-request rotation.
Can I resell BuyProxy access to my own customers?
Yes, on the Business, Advanced, and Enterprise plans. Compare plans here.
What protocols does BuyProxy support?
HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5, all included regardless of plan tier.
The Bottom Line
If a sales-driven, quote-based process isn't what you're looking for, BuyProxy gives you a self-serve path: transparent pricing, a real trial, a 72.8M+ IP residential network with city-level targeting, and a reseller program if you want to build on top of it.
