Prices checked on
How do our prices sit next to the lowest competitor at each volume?
- 1 GB: MENA Proxies $1.88; lowest competitor list price in our table: ProxyWing, $2.50.
- 5 GB: MENA Proxies $3.75; lowest competitor: DataImpulse, $5 for its one-time intro pack (after it, a $50 minimum).
- 10 GB: MENA Proxies $5.94; lowest competitor: Geonode, $7.92 monthly or $8.80 pay-as-you-go.
- 50 and 100 GB: MENA Proxies $25 and $50; lowest competitor: Databay Flex, $27.50 and $55, valid 31 days.
- 500 GB and 1 TB: MENA Proxies $250 and $500; lowest competitor: Geonode, $274.50 and $500 monthly.
Our tiers up to 10 GB were set from these figures on 13 October 2026; from 50 GB every tier is $0.50/GB, our group's lowest self-service rate. They are list prices on one day: promotions, negotiated contracts and providers outside this table can be lower, so we do not claim to be the cheapest proxy provider in the region.
How did we choose the 13 providers?
We searched for UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt residential proxies on 13 October 2026 and kept the providers whose pages appeared, plus those named in the DataImpulse "Best proxies for the UAE 2026" guide, the only regional ranking that appeared for "best UAE proxies". NetNut, also named in that guide, is left out: its domains were seized on 2 July 2026, according to KrebsOnSecurity. Bright Data is described in the note because its pricing page could not be read that day.
We will re-read every price before the next update of this page and change the date above.
Price comparison: questions
Why do prices per GB vary so much?
Providers sell different things under the same name: some sell monthly subscriptions that expire, some sell traffic that never expires, some add scraping tools, and some show discounted prices against a high list price. Minimums also differ, from 1 GB to $50 or a 50 GB monthly plan. Compare the price for the volume you will really use.
Is a UAE GB more expensive than a US GB?
Usually not on standard plans: most providers in this table publish one residential price list for all countries. SOAX prices by country tier, and some location pages, such as Geonode's, quote their own per-country starting prices. MENA Proxies charges one price for all 14 MENA countries.
