User Review Summary
Reviewers disagree on the quality of customer support. While some praise the staff for being helpful and responsive, many others criticize agents for being unprofessional, slow, or repetitive. Users frequently report that proxies are detected as datacenters or are pre-blacklisted, leading to account bans. Common complaints include hidden fees for basic features, difficulties obtaining refunds due to strict internal policies, and technical failures such as incorrect geographic locations or connection timeouts.

Account locked with $400 balance, support refuses to refund despite original payment proof!timate customer who…
I am a legitimate customer who registered an account here a year ago. Due to a lost 2FA, I am currently locked out of my account which still holds around 3,000 RMB (approx. $400 USD) of my hard-earned money.Because I used a pseudonym for privacy when registering, the support team completely refuses to help me reset the 2FA. I have provided the DEFINITIVE proof of ownership: the ORIGINAL ALIPAY PAYMENT RECEIPTS from one year ago, which contain the exact transaction IDs and timestamps matching their internal records. A hacker could never produce these official, stamped financial documents.Holding my funds and denying access to my account after receiving this level of proof is unacceptable. If you cannot reset my 2FA, you MUST return my money. Please escalate this to a manager immediately.
The service is awesome
The service is awesome, and the support was always there, fast and have a fix for any issue I'm facing.
I literally wasted hours of their time on issues they're not supposed to help me with, and they were happy to do that.
Awesome service and support.
I recommend them.
IPRoyal is the World’s Biggest Scammer & Most Overpriced Proxy Service Provider
IPRoyal is easily the world’s biggest scammer and the most ridiculously overpriced proxy service provider in the entire market. They charge extortionate rates compared to every other proxy provider while delivering a severely restricted product and using deceptive practices to steal customer funds.
1. Overpriced & Restrictive Product:
Their residential proxies are far more expensive than reputable competitors, yet they impose strict 7-day maximum lifespans on sticky IPs. They are the only platform using this anti-consumer system—charging premium prices for proxies that expire in just 7 days even when completely untouched. Other providers offer permanent, non-expiring balances at a fraction of the cost.
2. Stealing Money for 0 MB Used Data:
I purchased a residential data plan (Order #83971629) and consumed exactly 0 MB of data. The service remained 100% untouched. According to Section 4.5.2.1 of their published Subscription Terms and their official support documentation, data-based plans are eligible for a refund when data usage is under 100 MB.
3. Dishonest Support & Changing Excuses:
When I opened Ticket #141177576 to request a full refund to my original payment method, support engaged in deliberate bad-faith stalling:
They kept shifting excuses (claiming a 24-hour limit, then claiming 72-hour rules applied only to auto-renewals).
They blatantly ignored their own written policy stating: "Refunds are not available if more than 100 MB of allocated data has been consumed."
They explicitly admitted in writing: "though the traffic is untouched, you requested a refund after 24 hours" and claimed they couldn't process it because their support software refund button was "unclickable."
They repeatedly tried to force me into taking store credit instead of returning cash to my original payment method.
IPRoyal charges top-tier prices for an inferior, time-limited service, then hides behind unwritten rules and software excuses to hold onto your money when you ask for a refund on 0 MB used.
Full evidence—including dashboard screenshots showing 0 MB usage, support ticket transcripts, and policy screenshots—has been handed over to my bank for a formal merchant chargeback, alongside reports to consumer protection agencies.
Do not fall for their scam. Avoid IPRoyal at all costs and use affordable, transparent, and honest proxy providers.
IPRoyal Residential
Our residential proxy network consists of real IP addresses from real users, making sure you never get detected or blocked.
Ideal Use Cases
IPRoyal Residential is a network of genuine residential IPs used for web scraping and automation. It is accessed via a proxy port or a REST API for managing resources and generating proxy lists.
Ideal Use Cases
- E-commerce & price monitoring: real user residential IPs avoid retail site anti-bot detection
- Travel & hotel pricing: city-level targeting captures location-specific flight prices
- Ad verification: residential IPs allow seeing ads as a real user in 195+ countries
- Social media data: management of accounts via sticky sessions up to 7 days
Poor Use Cases
- Real-time, low-latency lookups: network routing and rotation may introduce overhead
- JavaScript-heavy sites & SPAs: residential proxies alone do not provide JS rendering
- Screenshots & visual monitoring: requires external rendering tools as not built-in
- Large-scale crawling: per-GB costs can be prohibitive for high-volume simple pages
Performance
Assuming average page size is 250kb
No domains under 20 seconds. Increase the target latency.
