The short answer
In 2026, published prices for rotating mobile proxies mostly fall between about $2 and $9 per GB. A dedicated mobile port typically costs around $70 to $130 per month.
The market ranges come from price comparisons published in 2026 by AIMultiple, TrustMyIP and TechBullion. Prices change often, so check the seller's own page before you buy.
The three pricing models
| Model | You pay for | Good when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per GB | The data you use | Work comes in bursts, or you need many different IPs | Heavy pages and media use data quickly |
| Per port, with data included | One modem for a day, week or month | Steady work on a few accounts | You pay the same when it sits unused |
| Monthly plan | A fixed amount of GB each month | Predictable, regular use | Unused data is usually lost at renewal |
Why mobile costs more than residential
- The data itself costs money. Someone pays a carrier for every gigabyte that goes through a SIM card.
- Supply is smaller. There are fewer mobile devices available to sellers than home connections.
- Demand is high. Mobile IPs work on sites where other proxies fail, and people pay for that.
Why the headline price is rarely your price
Sellers advertise their lowest per-GB rate, which normally belongs to their largest plan. A flat monthly fee can also make a small purchase much more expensive per GB than the number on the page suggests. Three things to check:
- The price for the amount you will actually buy
- Whether there is a minimum order or a monthly commitment
- Whether unused data expires
Worked examples
- Per GB
Checking ads in ten countries
A few hundred page loads a week, each from a different place. That is a few GB a month. A small per-GB pack costs far less than ten ports.
- Per port
Two social accounts, all day
Constant use from the same connection, with video. Per GB this adds up fast. A dedicated port with a monthly price is usually cheaper.
- Per GB
Testing an app before launch
Two weeks of intensive use, then nothing. Prepaid data with no subscription means you stop paying when the test ends.

How to pay less
- Block what you do not need. Turning off images, video and fonts in your tool often cuts data use a lot.
- Use mobile only where it is needed. Send easy requests through cheaper residential or datacenter proxies and keep mobile for the strict steps.
- Buy the size you will finish. A large pack is cheaper per GB, but only if you use it before it expires.
- Test small. Measure one real task before you commit to a volume.
Frequently asked questions
What is a fair price for mobile proxies?
For rotating mobile data, roughly $2 to $9 per GB was the published range in 2026, with the lower end at budget sellers and on large packs. Compare the price for the quantity you will actually buy, not the headline rate.
Are cheap mobile proxies worse?
Not necessarily. Price differences often come from pool size, country coverage and extras such as city or carrier targeting. Test a small pack on your real target; that tells you more than the price does.
Is unlimited mobile proxy data really unlimited?
Dedicated ports are often sold as unlimited, but the connection speed and the carrier's fair-use rules still limit how much you can move. Ask the seller what speed to expect.
