Mobile proxies price check - why so high?

ugh okay so i'm trying to set up a mobile proxy setup for some tiktok stuff and the prices are insane. Like $50+ per GB from some of the big names. Datacenter is like $2 per GB residential maybe $15 but mobile just skyrockets. I remember when backconnect was cheaper and worked but now it's all geo-locked ip pools.
Is there any actual reason or is it just supply being tight? They keep saying real mobile ips harder to get but feels like marketing. My script just hits instant blocks on datacenter proxies for this platform even with good fingerprinting. Need something that works ASAP.
Anybody got a decent provider that's not gonna bankrupt me? Or a discount code maybe? I need maybe 20GB monthly budget around $300 if possible. Hit me up.
Keep stacking wins, folks
 
Been doing this 3 years and honestly, I kinda think the mobile proxy prices are inflated just cause they can get away with it. Yeah, real mobile IPs are kinda scarce but not THAT scarce. It's mostly marketing hype to squeeze more cash out of folks who need them bad
 
You ever try negotiating directly with providers or hitting up those smaller resellers? Sometimes they got better deals but you gotta dig around and build a network. Also, watch out for those shady cheap mobile proxies, some are just recycled or fake.
 
Last month I was looking into mobile proxies for a similar project and found that the prices are way inflated compared to what I expected. I think it's partly supply and demand, but also some providers just use the scarcity to bump up prices. I tried negotiating with smaller resellers but didn't get much cheaper. Honestly, unless you find a legit bulk deal or a private reseller, it's prob gonna stay crazy expensive.
 
Yeah, around 20-30 bucks per GB is kinda typical for decent mobile proxies, so your budget is tight but not impossible. Try reaching out to smaller resellers or even local providers, sometimes they got better prices if you buy in bulk or can do a longer-term deal. Also, experiment with rotating residential proxies from niche providers, they can sometimes mimic mobile IPs better without the insane cost.
 
Honestly I think most of the "scarcity" talk is just marketing fluff to jack up prices. Mobile IP pools are a pain to manage but not impossible to get cheaper if you hunt small resellers or buy in bulk. You're probably better off building direct relationships than
 
been doing this 3 years and honestly, I'd say forget the big guys. find a local mobile reseller who's legit and ask for a small batch sample first. cheap, local, no markup drama. worth a shot. stay chill.
 
Thanks for the insights, guys. I've tried reaching out to smaller resellers, but most either don't reply or give sketchy deals. Negotiation could work if I find a legit one. Fwiw, I'm still hunting for a good balance between price and reliability, but yeah, these prices seem kinda inflated for what I need. Keep stacking wins.
 
been doing this 3 years and honestly it's all about supply and demand, right? but also, quality proxies cost more to maintain so I get the high prices sometimes.
 
bruh, totally feel ya. I've been using SOAX for mobile proxies and their prices are pretty fair for what you get, imo.
 
if you wanna save some cash, try looking into rotating residential proxies instead of mobile ones, they tend to be cheaper and still kinda do the trick. sometimes, it's about finding the right balance between quality
 
tbh been in this game over 4 years now and honestly I think it's more about the brand and how they manage their pools. Some providers jack up prices just to keep the 'exclusive' vibe, even if their proxies aren't better than others. So yeah, it's not always just about supply and demand, sometimes it's more about the marketing and perceived value.
 
Most people think mobile proxies should be cheap but honestly they're expensive to run and maintain, that's why the prices stay high, ymmv.
 
man i gotta disagree a bit, prices are high but it's not just about the provider, it's also about how mobile networks operate. They charge more because managing mobile IP pools is a pain and can be less stable, so the costs add up. Not always just about branding or exclusivity, sometimes it's just the reality of the tech.
 
yeah, I agree, mobile proxies ain't just about the provider, it's the whole mobile network mess. They charge more, they keep it high, bruh.
 
Actually, from my experience, prices around 10-15 bucks for a private mobile proxy are common, but premium ones go up to 30-50 bucks. So yeah, they keep it high, but the range varies a lot.
 
I gotta disagree a bit, prices are high but it's not just about the provider, mobile networks charge more cuz they control the IP pools tightly. I've seen prices around 8-12 bucks for decent private proxies but premium ones can hit 40-50 bucks, so yeah, range is pretty wide.
 
just my 2 cents, prices seem high cuz mobile networks keep the IP pools super tight and hard to get. not just about the provider jacking the rates, fam.
