SIDE BY SIDE
WHY CHOOSE US
IPRoyal has grown quickly by offering competitive rates and an easy-to-use platform, but their proxy infrastructure follows the same shared pool model as most budget providers. Medium detection rates, variable speeds, and no free trial mean you are paying upfront for proxies that may not perform on strict platforms. Here is why Proxy Poland's dedicated hardware approach matters when you are evaluating a move from IPRoyal's shared mobile pools.
OWN HARDWARE
We operate real physical 4G modems in Warsaw. No reselling, no shared pools. Each modem is a dedicated device with a real Polish SIM card on a live carrier network.
REAL 4G/5G CONNECTION
Every proxy runs on a genuine LTE 4G/5G connection. Platforms see real mobile traffic from Polish carriers -- identical to a regular smartphone user. 0% detection guaranteed.
$2/DAY FLAT RATE
No per-GB billing, no bandwidth caps, no surprise charges. Pay a flat daily rate and use as much data as you need. Scrape terabytes, stream video, run automation -- all included.
FREE TRIAL, NO CARD
Test our proxies for 1 hour completely free. No credit card, no business verification, no commitments. Sign up, get your proxy credentials, and start testing in under 2 minutes.
WHAT SETS US APART
IPRoyal mixes residential and mobile IPs in shared pools sourced from device partnerships and opt-in programs. Your mobile IP rotates from a common pool used by all customers. Proxy Poland operates individual physical modems with dedicated SIM cards -- each proxy is a single piece of hardware assigned exclusively to one customer. No pool, no sharing, no rotation through other people's IPs.
IPRoyal charges $7/GB for mobile proxy bandwidth with no flat-rate unlimited option. Their non-expiring bandwidth credit is nice, but costs accumulate with usage. Proxy Poland charges $2/day flat with unlimited bandwidth. At just 0.3 GB/day of usage, Proxy Poland becomes cheaper. Professional workloads (5+ GB/day) save $33+ per day per proxy.
IPRoyal supports HTTP and SOCKS5. Proxy Poland adds OpenVPN and Xray protocols for full-device tunneling. Without OpenVPN or Xray, you cannot route operating system-level traffic through the proxy -- only applications that support explicit proxy configuration. This limits IPRoyal's usefulness for mobile app testing, gaming, and browser fingerprint management.
IPRoyal offers no free trial at all -- you must purchase bandwidth before testing. Proxy Poland provides a completely free 1-hour trial with no credit card and no payment. This difference matters: with IPRoyal, you are buying on faith. With Proxy Poland, you verify quality first and pay only if satisfied.
HOW WE COMPARE TO IPROYAL
IPRoyal provides affordable proxy services starting at $7/GB for mobile proxies. They have grown quickly by offering competitive rates and a straightforward interface. However, their mobile proxy offering relies on shared pools with medium detection rates.
Proxy Poland is built on a fundamentally different model. Where IPRoyal aggregates IPs from various sources into a shared pool, we operate our own physical modem hardware. Each proxy is a real 4G device on a Polish carrier network. This hardware-first approach means genuine mobile IPs that platforms cannot distinguish from regular phone users.
IPRoyal does not offer a free trial -- you need to pay before testing. Proxy Poland gives you a free 1-hour trial with no credit card. We are confident enough in our quality to let you test first. If you are coming from IPRoyal and experiencing blocks or detection issues, our 0% detection rate will be a significant upgrade.
IPRoyal blends residential and mobile IP sources into a single proxy pool, sourcing IPs from a combination of ethically-sourced devices and partnership programs. Their mobile IPs come from real carrier connections, but they are shared across the entire customer base through a rotating gateway. When you request a mobile IP, you get whichever one is available from the pool at that moment -- it might have been used by another customer seconds earlier on the same target platform. Proxy Poland's model is fundamentally different: one physical modem, one SIM card, one customer. The carrier assigns your IP, and it stays yours.
IPRoyal works adequately for basic web scraping tasks where detection tolerance is moderate -- price comparison, general data collection, SEO rank checking. Their $7/GB rate makes them competitive for low-volume, non-sensitive workloads. But for social media account management, where platforms like Instagram and TikTok use aggressive device fingerprinting and IP reputation scoring, IPRoyal's medium detection rate becomes a liability. Accounts managed through shared mobile pools face higher suspension risk because the pool's reputation depends on every customer's behavior, not just yours.
IPRoyal's pricing looks attractive at first glance -- $7/GB seems affordable. But consider a typical professional workflow: managing 10 social media accounts at 3 GB/day each through IPRoyal costs $210/day or $6,300/month. The same setup on Proxy Poland with 10 dedicated modems at $2/day costs $20/day or $600/month -- 90% cheaper. IPRoyal also recently introduced a $7/day mobile proxy option, which is closer to Proxy Poland's model but still 3.5x the price without the guarantee of dedicated, exclusive hardware.
WHEN IPROYAL IS THE BETTER CHOICE
IPRoyal's non-expiring bandwidth credit system is genuinely useful for intermittent users. If you buy 10 GB and use it over several months at irregular intervals, the credit stays in your account indefinitely. Proxy Poland's daily billing model is better for consistent usage, but if you only need proxies sporadically -- a few hours per week, with weeks of inactivity between sessions -- IPRoyal's buy-once-use-anytime model avoids paying for idle days.
IPRoyal offers mobile proxies in multiple countries through their global pool, with over 4.5 million mobile IPs and carrier-level auto-rotation every 6 minutes. If you need mobile IPs across the US, UK, Germany, and other markets from a single provider at mid-range pricing, IPRoyal's multi-country mobile coverage is a practical option. Proxy Poland specializes exclusively in Polish mobile IPs.
Choose IPRoyal if you need low-cost, multi-country mobile proxy access for non-critical tasks with intermittent usage patterns. Choose Proxy Poland if you need dedicated hardware, 0% detection, unlimited bandwidth, and the lowest cost for consistent daily usage. For professional workloads where IP exclusivity and detection resistance are non-negotiable, Proxy Poland's dedicated modems are the clear choice over IPRoyal's shared pool.
HOW TO SWITCH FROM IPROYAL
Create a Proxy Poland account and activate the free 1-hour trial -- something IPRoyal does not offer. You will receive dedicated proxy credentials immediately. During the trial, run your most challenging workflows first -- the sites where IPRoyal was causing CAPTCHAs, blocks, or detection issues. These are the targets where you will see the biggest improvement from dedicated hardware.
Replace IPRoyal's proxy configuration in your tools. If you use their browser extension or dashboard-configured proxies, switch to entering Proxy Poland's host:port:user:pass credentials directly in your application or proxy manager. Remove any auto-rotation logic from your scripts since Proxy Poland's modem handles IP rotation through the carrier's CGNAT system via a simple API call or timed rotation setting.
Since IPRoyal does not have subscription billing (you prepay for bandwidth), there is no service to cancel -- simply stop using it. Run Proxy Poland alongside your remaining IPRoyal credit for a transition period. Route critical tasks (social media, accounts) through Proxy Poland's dedicated IPs and use remaining IPRoyal credit for low-risk scraping tasks until the balance runs out. This gradual migration minimizes risk.
FAQ
How is Proxy Poland different from IPRoyal?+
The fundamental difference is hardware. Proxy Poland operates dedicated physical 4G modems -- one per customer. IPRoyal uses shared residential and mobile pools. This means Proxy Poland delivers 0% detection, dedicated IPs, and unlimited bandwidth vs IPRoyal's shared, metered approach.
Is Proxy Poland more expensive than IPRoyal?+
IPRoyal starts at $7/GB. Proxy Poland charges $2/day flat with unlimited bandwidth. If you use more than ~0.3 GB per day (most professional users do), Proxy Poland is cheaper. For heavy users (10+ GB/day), the savings are massive.
Does IPRoyal offer a free trial like Proxy Poland?+
No. IPRoyal does not offer a free trial. Proxy Poland provides a free 1-hour trial with no credit card required. You can test the full proxy -- speed, rotation, protocols, detection rate -- before making any financial commitment.
Which has better support -- IPRoyal or Proxy Poland?+
Proxy Poland offers 24/7 support via Telegram and email with fast human responses. IPRoyal provides email and chat support but without the same level of personal attention. As a dedicated hardware operator, Proxy Poland can troubleshoot at the modem level.
Can I use Proxy Poland for web scraping instead of IPRoyal?+
Yes. Proxy Poland's dedicated 4G proxies are excellent for web scraping. With 0% detection rate, unlimited bandwidth, and 2-second IP rotation, you can scrape at scale without blocks. IPRoyal's medium detection rate means more CAPTCHAs and blocks on protected sites.
Can I use my remaining IPRoyal bandwidth credit after switching?+
Yes. IPRoyal's bandwidth credits do not expire, so you can use your remaining balance for low-priority tasks while running Proxy Poland for critical operations. There is no obligation to cancel IPRoyal -- just stop buying more credit and let the balance drain naturally on non-sensitive workloads.
Is Proxy Poland better for Instagram and TikTok automation than IPRoyal?+
Significantly. Instagram and TikTok use aggressive mobile device fingerprinting and IP reputation systems. IPRoyal's shared pool means your IP might have been flagged by another user's aggressive behavior. Proxy Poland's dedicated modem gives you a clean, exclusive mobile IP with a consistent carrier fingerprint that these platforms trust.
Does IPRoyal's $7/day mobile proxy plan compete with Proxy Poland?+
IPRoyal recently introduced a $7/day mobile proxy option, which is closer to Proxy Poland's model but still 3.5x the price at $7/day versus $2/day. IPRoyal's plan also uses shared pool infrastructure rather than dedicated hardware, so you pay more for a lower-quality proxy type.
