Rayobyte publishes a clear residential ladder that starts at one gigabyte, and traffic bought pay as you go does not expire. Targeting down to city and ASN is included at no extra cost, and they offer a free trial.
On price they are lower than us at most sizes. The exception is a narrow band: from 25 GB to 49 GB, our rate is below theirs. At every other size either of us publishes, theirs is lower.
The differences that are not price: they take PayPal, Google Pay and cards but list no crypto option; their terms make subscription fees non-refundable and leave any other refund to their discretion; and we log every request with its byte count.
