Static (ISP) Residential Proxies: Major Providers Compared

Static residential proxies, also called ISP proxies, are built for stable sessions. Current official provider pages consistently describe them as ISP-assigned IPs hosted on datacenter infrastructure, so the real buying decision is not who sounds fastest in marketing copy, but which billing model, exclusivity level, and location coverage fit your workload according to Decodo, Webshare, and IPRoyal.

What static ISP residential proxies are

Provider documentation is broadly aligned on the definition. Webshare says an ISP proxy uses an IP from a residential ISP but is hosted on datacenter infrastructure on its feature page. IPRoyal says the same thing in its FAQ, adding that this setup combines datacenter-style speed and reliability with ISP-linked identity in its help center. That is why these products are usually sold for long sessions rather than rapid IP rotation.

When they make sense

Static ISP proxies are most useful when you need a persistent IP for multi-step workflows, region testing, brand monitoring, or other jobs where session continuity matters more than huge rotating pools. Bright Data explicitly frames ISP proxies as a fit for permanent, non-rotating IP needs in its pricing FAQ, while Oxylabs markets unlimited-duration sessions for traffic-intensive tasks on its ISP product page.

Current provider snapshot

The table below uses current public vendor pages as of August 27, 2026. These are vendor-stated plans, not independent speed tests.

Bright Data

Bright Data's current ISP page says it has more than 1.3 million static residential proxies, offers pay-per-IP and bandwidth-based options, and lets customers keep IPs long term on the product page. Its pricing FAQ is also one of the clearest about hidden limits: so-called unlimited ISP traffic still carries a 100GB fair-usage allowance per IP per month before overage rules matter on the pricing page. That makes Bright Data easier to compare if you care about transparent traffic policy.

Oxylabs

Oxylabs markets ISP proxies for long-duration sessions and heavy, persistent workloads on its official ISP page. The same page currently lists starter pricing at 10 IPs for $16 monthly, says bandwidth is unlimited under a fair-usage policy, and notes that plans are shared with up to three users. One caution: the public page currently shows both 22 locations in the pricing cards and 25 locations in the FAQ area, so if you need a specific country, verify it before checkout.

Decodo

Decodo is one of the more flexible public offers because it openly separates dedicated, pay-per-GB, and pay-per-IP models on its static residential page. Its dedicated plans start at 3 IPs for $9.99 monthly, while larger pay-per-IP tables go much lower on headline price. The same page also calls out HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 support, global locations, and dedicated plans that are labeled 100% dedicated, which makes it easier to understand what you are actually buying.

Webshare

Webshare is the clearest example of why headline prices can be misleading. Its public static residential page leads with shared static residential plans starting at $6 monthly for 20 proxies with 250GB on the main product page, but its dedicated static residential page starts at $42 monthly for 20 proxies on the dedicated plan page. Webshare's help center says the company sells shared, private, and dedicated static residential tiers, so you should compare exclusivity first and sticker price second in its January 2026 help article.

IPRoyal

IPRoyal stands out for short-term published pricing. Its pricing page lists 24-hour, 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day static residential terms, with 24-hour access starting at $1.80 per proxy and 30-day plans starting at $2.70 on the pricing page. IPRoyal's product page also says static residential users go through a KYC process, and its acceptable use policy says some websites and ports are blocked for static residential and datacenter clients on the product page and in the acceptable use policy. That makes it a good example of why compliance rules matter as much as price.

Rayobyte

Rayobyte currently publishes both dedicated and semi-dedicated static ISP options. Its pricing page lists dedicated ISP starter plans from $5 per IP monthly, volume pricing from $4.80 and $4.60 per IP, and semi-dedicated plans from $2.50 per IP monthly on the pricing page. Rayobyte's broader product pages also emphasize ethically sourced proxies and unlimited bandwidth for static ISP products on its buy-proxies page and on its product overview.

How to compare the real cost

• Check whether the plan is shared, private, semi-dedicated, or fully dedicated. Webshare and Rayobyte both publish multiple exclusivity levels, and the cheapest number is not the same product at Webshare and at Rayobyte.
• Check whether you are paying per IP, per GB, or through a hybrid model. Decodo and Bright Data both publish more than one billing structure at Decodo and at Bright Data.
• Read the fair-usage language behind any unlimited traffic claim. Bright Data and Oxylabs both add fair-usage limits to public ISP pages at Bright Data and at Oxylabs.
• Check the minimum order. Some providers publish low per-IP figures only at higher quantities, while short-term access may be more expensive on a monthly equivalent basis.

Compliance and sourcing checks before you buy

Static residential proxies do not share one universal compliance model. Bright Data emphasizes compliance and KYC in its public pricing FAQ on its pricing page. IPRoyal publishes both KYC and blocked-destination rules on its product page and in its acceptable use policy. Rayobyte repeatedly markets ethical sourcing on its product pages. If your work involves sensitive targets, internal compliance review, or customer data, read those documents before treating any plan as interchangeable.

Static ISP proxies Bottom line

Static ISP residential proxies are easiest to buy well when you ignore generic "best provider" claims and compare the exact things that change real-world cost: dedicated versus shared access, per-IP versus per-GB billing, fair-usage rules, location coverage, and compliance gates. Public provider pages are good for narrowing the field, but you should still verify the exact country, traffic policy, and account-review requirements at checkout before committing.
