## Why do buyers look for an IPRoyal alternative?

Two reasons come up for city work in this region. First, price at small volumes: at $7.35 for 1 GB, testing ten cities costs more than many full plans elsewhere. Second, identity checks: IPRoyal's information page says all clients undergo identity verification, while a help article calls it optional. Buyers who prefer not to upload identity documents want a clear answer before paying.

## Where is IPRoyal stronger?

Breadth of published city lists: its location pages list hundreds of Indian cities and well over a hundred in Thailand, the Philippines, Australia and Indonesia. If you need a small town that is not on our [city index](https://banyanproxies.com/cities/), check its list.

## How do I switch an IPRoyal job to Banyan Proxies?

Point the job at `gw.banyanproxies.com` (port 7777 for HTTP or 7778 for SOCKS5) and write the location in the username: `USERNAME-country-th-city-bangkok`. For one IP over several requests, add `-session-<id>-ttl-<minutes>`; up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier). Tested examples are on the [city syntax page](https://banyanproxies.com/targeting/city/).

## Where else can I compare?

The [price index](https://banyanproxies.com/research/asia-city-proxy-price-index-2026/) lists eight providers, the [DataImpulse alternative](https://banyanproxies.com/alternatives/dataimpulse/) covers the double city rate, and [city proxies without KYC](https://banyanproxies.com/no-kyc/) explains what we ask for. Our tiers are on the [pricing page](https://banyanproxies.com/pricing/).

## What else do buyers ask when leaving IPRoyal?

### Is Banyan Proxies cheaper than IPRoyal?

On the prices read on 18 October 2026, yes at 1 GB and 10 GB: $1.88 against $7.35, and $5.94 against about $55. IPRoyal publishes no price between 10 GB and 10 TB, so larger volumes cannot be compared from its public page.

### Does IPRoyal need ID?

Its own pages disagree: its information page says all clients undergo identity verification, and a help article calls verification optional but highly recommended. Banyan Proxies asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents.

### Do both keep unused traffic?

Yes. IPRoyal's residential traffic never expires, and so does ours: Prepaid residential and rotating-mobile traffic never expires: unused GB stay on your account until you use them.
