Quick pick

NetNut fits if ISP-direct routing through ISP infrastructure is the priority over IPRoyal's named consenting-user sourcing and low per-GB pricing.

Visit NetNut

IPRoyal fits if named and independently verifiable consenting-user sourcing via Pawns.app, low per-GB residential pricing, self-serve onboarding, or 24/7 live chat are the priorities.

Visit IPRoyal

NetNut and IPRoyal take different approaches to residential routing and access. NetNut routes residential through direct ISP partnerships rather than end-user devices, removing peer-dependency variability, and adds CDN proxy access as a separate product type. IPRoyal routes through Pawns.app -- a named consumer network where real users explicitly consent and earn per bandwidth shared -- with low per-GB pricing, self-serve onboarding, and 24/7 live chat.

If you choose NetNut

What you get that IPRoyal doesn't offer

The core split is sourcing model: NetNut uses ISP-direct routing, where residential IPs come through ISP infrastructure rather than end-user devices. It also offers CDN proxy access as a separate product type.

What you give up

IPRoyal's Pawns.app sourcing -- real users explicitly consenting and compensated, an independently verifiable consumer network. IPRoyal is positioned around low per-GB residential pricing without sales engagement -- NetNut typically requires sales contact for rates. 24/7 live chat support. PAYG billing with no commitment. Mobile proxies alongside residential and datacenter.
