ISP proxies are static and usually sold per IP. Residential proxies rotate and are sold per GB. For UK IPs priced in pounds, Icey ISPs sells UK ISP from £15.00 per 10 a month. Byteful lists UK static ISP from $3.50 per IP. For residential bandwidth, prices run from €1.00/GB + VAT (Byte Proxies Basic) up to $7.00/GB (IPRoyal, 1 GB). Checked 19 Oct 2026.
Proxies are mostly used with bots that may breach retailer terms. Orders can be cancelled and accounts banned. Use at your own risk. Read the risk note
If you run more than a task or two, most bot vendors expect you to. NSB, for example, lists "proxies for most stores" as a requirement, and Stellar's task setup asks you to assign profiles and proxies. A proxy sends each task's traffic through a different IP address, so a retailer doesn't see all your tasks coming from your home connection.
If you buy by hand, or with a single task, you probably don't need them. Proxies don't make a bot faster or guarantee a checkout, and none of the providers below can promise that either.
ISP (static residential)
A fixed IP registered to an internet provider. You keep the same address for the period you buy, often 30 days. Commonly used for retail and sneaker sites.
Residential (rotating)
Traffic routed through a large pool of home connections, rotating or "sticky". You pay for data used. Some providers say unused traffic never expires.
Datacenter
IPs hosted in data centres rather than homes. Often the cheapest per IP; we haven't tested how retailers treat them.
Mobile
Traffic through 3G/4G/5G carrier IPs. Usually the most expensive per GB.
What you're paying for. With ISP proxies you rent a set number of fixed addresses for a period, and you can use them as much as you like within it. With residential you buy data, and every page load and checkout attempt uses some of it. So ISP cost depends on how many IPs you run at once and for how long. Residential cost depends on how much traffic your bot sends.
How the providers here price each (as shown on 19 Oct 2026):
"From" prices are the cheapest quantity or location each vendor shows, so the UK option may cost more. Check the UK plan specifically.
Static vs rotating. An ISP proxy keeps one address for the whole period. That suits sites where you stay logged in to an account, because the address doesn't change mid-session. Residential pools rotate between home connections, or hold one for a while ("sticky"). That spreads requests across many addresses. Which works better on a given retailer is something we haven't tested, and vendors' "works on" claims are their own.
Expiry. ISP and datacenter plans run for a fixed term: 30 days at Icey, or 24 hours to 90 days at IPRoyal. Unused time is lost when the term ends. Residential data may not expire at all: IPRoyal and Immaculate say theirs doesn't. If you only bot occasional drops, that difference matters more than the headline price.
Icey ISPs
UK ISP from £15.00 per 10/mo. Residential from £1.25/GB.

OneStop Proxies
$6.00/GB (1 to 50 GB) down to $2.00/GB (5 TB+), from its homepage calculator.
Icey ISPs is the only provider here that prices in pounds and says its ISP and datacenter proxies are "based in the UK". Its ISP and DC plans have a 30-day expiry, so budget monthly.
Byteful (formerly Ping Proxies, operated by Ping Technology Labs Ltd) lists the United Kingdom among its static residential ISP locations and also sells ISP subnets. Prices are in US dollars.
Immaculate Proxies has the lowest "from" ISP price we recorded. "From" prices are usually the cheapest quantity or location, so check the UK option's own price in its dashboard.
Byte Proxies is EU-based and prices in euros with VAT added on top. Its Basic tier is the cheapest residential per-GB price here, before VAT and currency conversion.
IPRoyal is a global provider without a UK focus. Its pricing overview shows headline "from" prices of $1.80 per ISP proxy and $1.39 per datacenter proxy. The per-proxy price on each plan page depends on how long you buy for (24 hours to 90 days for ISP), so the figure you pay can be higher, such as $2.55 on the 60-day ISP plan. The residential "$1.75/GB" applies only to custom plans from 10 TB. At small volumes it's $5.25 to $7.00/GB. Its pricing page also shows a second, slightly higher set of residential prices ($7.35 to $5.51/GB), so check which applies at checkout.
OneStop Proxies publishes a simple volume ladder for residential traffic. We read it from the pricing calculator on its homepage on 19 Oct 2026 (its /pricing page returned a 404). There's no subscription: you buy data and use it.
Pokémon Center UK only ships to UK addresses, and many botters use UK IPs for it. Immaculate Proxies says it has a UK plan aimed at Pokémon Center, and Icey and Byteful sell UK ISP proxies. Proxies don't change Pokémon Center's purchase limits, which can count per account, card, person or household. See bots for Pokémon Center UK and HiddenAIO vs Stellar AIO. For sneakers, see sneaker bots UK.
Retailers can cancel orders and close accounts that they think used bots or broke purchase limits, whatever proxy you use. Banks may also flag many quick payments from different IPs. Several vendor claims, such as "unbanned on most sites" and "working on all sites", are the providers' own, and we haven't tested them. Buy small first, and use at your own risk.
We don't rank them, because we haven't tested speed or success rates. Of the providers we list, Icey ISPs sells UK ISP and UK datacenter proxies priced in pounds, Byteful lists UK static ISP proxies, and Immaculate Proxies sells ISP plans. Byte Proxies, IPRoyal and OneStop sell residential bandwidth by the GB.
ISP proxies are static IP addresses registered to an internet provider, usually sold per IP for a set period (for example Icey's UK ISP at £15.00 per 10 a month). Residential proxies rotate through home connections and are usually sold per GB of traffic (for example OneStop from $6.00/GB at 1 to 50 GB, per its homepage calculator).
It depends on how many tasks you run. Several proxy sellers' guides suggest roughly one IP per task, but that's their rule of thumb, not something we've verified. Start small and check your bot's own setup guide.
Icey ISPs prices in pounds: residential from £1.25/GB, UK ISP from £15.00 per 10 a month and UK datacenter from £12.50 per 10 a month (as shown on 19 Oct 2026). Byte Proxies prices in euros plus VAT. Byteful, Immaculate, IPRoyal and OneStop price in US dollars.
Buying and using a proxy isn't in itself unlawful in the UK, but using proxies to get round a retailer's limits or rules can breach its terms and lead to cancelled orders or banned accounts. This isn't legal advice.
Bot vendors generally expect proxies, and many use UK IPs for UK sites. Immaculate Proxies says it has a plan aimed at Pokémon Center UK. Proxies don't get round Pokémon Center's purchase limits, which can count per account, card, person or household.
