Quick pick
IPRoyal fits persistent sessions, non-expiring residential traffic, and workloads that may need dedicated or rotating mobile proxies alongside residential access.
Geonode fits high-volume teams that care more about wholesale per-GB economics, unlimited-traffic plans, ISP bandwidth, or pairing proxies with a scraper API.
IPRoyal and Geonode solve different scaling problems. IPRoyal focuses on a broad proxy catalog with 64M+ residential IPs, 195+ countries, sticky sessions that can be configured for up to seven days, and a separate 4.5M+ mobile product. Geonode leans into infrastructure economics, including very large-volume residential discounts, speed-based unlimited residential plans, ISP proxies with unlimited bandwidth, and a scraper API.
Choosing IPRoyal
What IPRoyal brings
IPRoyal's residential product combines rotating and sticky modes, country/state/city targeting, unlimited concurrent sessions, and traffic that does not expire. The seven-day maximum TTL is unusually long for workflows that need the same residential identity to persist. IPRoyal also sells ISP, datacenter, and mobile proxies; the mobile product supports 5G/4G/3G/LTE and both rotating and dedicated IP options.
What Geonode changes economically
Geonode targets high-throughput buyers with models that are hard to compare on a simple per-GB basis. Its standard residential pricing reaches $0.27/GB at the 100 TB tier, while Unlimited Residential is billed by a monthly speed cap and carries unlimited traffic. The standard residential configuration also includes ASN/ISP and OS targeting, which gives data teams additional routing controls beyond basic geography.
Choosing Geonode
What Geonode brings
Geonode is attractive when bandwidth economics dominate the decision. Buyers can use normal per-GB residential traffic, move to a speed-limited unlimited residential subscription, or buy static ISP IPs with unlimited bandwidth. The platform also includes a scraper API, so the same vendor can cover raw proxy access and a managed request layer.
Where IPRoyal is more explicit
IPRoyal publishes a 64M+ residential pool in 195+ countries and documents up-to-seven-day sticky sessions in its 2026 quick-start material. It also has a 4.5M+ mobile network. Geonode's current public pages emphasize its residential, ISP, datacenter, unlimited-residential, and scraping infrastructure; for users whose key need is long-lived residential sessions or mobile exits, IPRoyal presents the more direct product path.
