List prices checked 2026-09-30. Their rates change with plan and volume — check their pricing page.
Geonode sells residential on monthly plans and pay as you go, and per gigabyte both cost a fraction of our orders at every size they price. Unused bandwidth rolls over until you cancel, you can target down to city and ASN, and they take crypto.
Their smallest order is 10 GB for $7.92. Below 2 GB our order costs less in total; from 2 GB up theirs does, even if you do not need all 10 GB. That is a monthly plan, so it bills again unless you cancel. Their page marks the subscription as 10% off pay as you go, which starts at $0.88/GB on a 10 GB minimum order, shown as $8.80 total rather than monthly. They also sell a $5 trial with 10 GB for 3 days.
What differs besides price: their smallest pay-as-you-go order is 10 GB, while ours is 1 GB from a balance that does not expire; their refund policy refunds a subscription only when something has gone wrong, and never for crypto; and we log every request with its byte count.

Which one should you actually buy?
Pick Geonode if…
- Price per gigabyte is what matters. Their monthly plans and their pay as you go both cost less than our orders at every size they price.
- You need residential IPs from a particular country, state, city or ASN. We cannot pin residential to a location.
- You want to test for less than our first gigabyte costs: their $5 trial includes 10 GB for 3 days.
Pick ProxyMonkey if…
- You need less than 2 GB, where our order costs less in total than their smallest plan or pay-as-you-go order.
- You want unused balance back within 7 days of a top-up, without having to show that anything failed.
- You want to see the byte count for every request, not a total.

Their prices as of 2026-09-30, from their own pricing page. Their plan prices are billed every month; ours are one-off orders. Their page marks the subscription as 10% off pay as you go. Their pricing page does not say whether tax is added on top; our prices exclude it, so compare both totals at checkout.
Does Geonode bandwidth expire?
Their page says bandwidth rolls over until cancellation, on the plans and on pay as you go, so unused gigabytes carry forward until you cancel. Ours is a balance with no plan attached, and it does not expire.
Can I pick a city on ProxyMonkey residential, like on Geonode?
No. Our residential proxies rotate across the whole pool and cannot be pinned to a country or a city. Our ISP and datacenter proxies can: you pick the country at checkout. If your job needs residential IPs from one place, Geonode is the better fit.
Think a row here is unfair or out of date? Say so in Discord — we would rather fix it than be caught with it. See also why we are cheap and still legit.
Ask people who have used both.
Plenty of the channel came from somewhere else. Ask them what actually changed, rather than reading another vendor's comparison table.
