Rayobyte sells five separate proxy products, static and rotating datacenter, static and rotating ISP, residential, and mobile, plus a managed scraping API called Scraping Robot. KnoxProxy runs one unified network across the same use cases, billed by the gigabyte with no per-IP tier to track. The real difference is structure, not just price: Rayobyte fits teams that want a dedicated static IP or a hands-off scraping API, and KnoxProxy fits teams that scrape at volume and want one predictable rate.
Choose KnoxProxy if you want one flat per-GB rate, a larger residential pool, and 2xx-only billing across residential, ISP, datacenter, and mobile traffic. Choose Rayobyte if you need a dedicated static IP for account management, cheaper rotating datacenter proxies at high volume, or its Scraping Robot API to skip building your own scraper.

| Failed-request billing | Never billed (2xx-only) | Billed per GB, no published success-based billing |
| Datacenter pricing model | $0.60/GB flat, GB-based only | $1/IP static or $0.23-$0.30/GB rotating |
| Static per-IP proxies | ||
| Managed scraping API | ||
| ISP price (rotating) | $2.90/IP flat, unlimited bandwidth | $3.75 entry tier (to $2.50 at 1TB+) |
| Countries | 195+ | Dozens listed at checkout; total not published |
| City / ASN targeting | All plans | Not confirmed on entry tiers |
| Getting started | Instant, 14-day money-back | Self-serve signup; 5,000 free Scraping Robot scrapes |
| Task | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume residential scraping on a fixed budget | KnoxProxy | 90.4M pool and 2xx-only billing keep entry-tier cost below Rayobyte's $3.50/GB starting rate |
| Need one dedicated, always-on IP for account management or an allowlist | Rayobyte | Static datacenter and ISP proxies are sold per IP starting at $1, a product KnoxProxy does not offer |
| Team without in-house scraping code | Rayobyte | Scraping Robot handles rendering, CAPTCHAs, and parsing, so there is no proxy-rotation logic to build |
| Multi-account or ticket/sneaker workflows needing targeting on the cheapest plan | KnoxProxy | City and ASN targeting ships on every plan; Rayobyte does not confirm the same granularity on entry tiers |
Provider marketing sells the biggest number on the page. Buyers should buy the smallest one that matters: cost per successful request on their own targets. List price, billing rules, success rate, and how much of the product your tier actually unlocks all feed it.
A rigged table is worthless to a buyer and obvious to a reviewer.
Pool size and pool quality are different axes. A large pool of recycled, previously flagged addresses can lose to a smaller, well-maintained one on your actual targets. Compare the numbers below, then verify with your own benchmark -- ask about IP hygiene, not headcount.
Score both finalists on all five, weight by what your program values, and the winner is usually obvious -- and defensible to whoever signs off.
The protocol is identical -- host, port, credentials. The migration isn't hard; the discipline is running both in parallel long enough to trust the numbers on your real workload.
Rayobyte splits traffic across five products: static and rotating datacenter, static and rotating ISP, residential, and mobile. List which product each script uses before swapping anything, since KnoxProxy prices every proxy type by the gigabyte instead of by IP.
Point host and auth at gw.knoxproxy.com and update your secret store. The proxy protocol (HTTP/S, SOCKS5) is the same, so retry and session logic keeps working.
KnoxProxy does not sell per-IP static proxies. Any script that depended on Rayobyte's fixed static datacenter or ISP IP needs to move to a sticky session ID instead, which holds one IP for the length of a session rather than permanently.
Yes, for teams billing by the gigabyte. KnoxProxy runs a larger residential pool (90.4M vs Rayobyte's self-reported ~40M), never bills failed requests, and keeps one flat rate per proxy type. Rayobyte still wins if you need a dedicated static IP or a managed scraping API.
Rayobyte sells static datacenter proxies from $1 per IP and static ISP proxies from $4.60 per IP, billed per address instead of per gigabyte. KnoxProxy has no per-IP product; every plan is GB-based. Pick Rayobyte if a fixed dedicated address matters more than total data volume.
Scraping Robot is Rayobyte's managed scraping API. It handles browser rendering, CAPTCHAs, and data parsing for $0.00004 to $0.0018 per scrape, with 5,000 free scrapes to start. KnoxProxy sells proxy infrastructure only; teams bring their own scraper or headless browser.
KnoxProxy, on published numbers. KnoxProxy states 90.4M residential IPs; Rayobyte's homepage lists roughly 40M+ under its own scale metrics. Both figures are self-reported by each company, so test your actual target sites before deciding how much pool depth your traffic really needs.
It depends on the product. Rayobyte's rotating datacenter proxies undercut KnoxProxy at $0.23-$0.30/GB versus $0.60/GB, a real saving at high volume. On residential traffic, KnoxProxy's flat $2.10/GB beats Rayobyte's $3.50 entry tier, and KnoxProxy ISP runs $2.90/IP flat versus Rayobyte's $3.75/GB rotating rate.
Not residential specifically, but its ISP proxies pair datacenter speed with an ISP-registered IP, sold static from $4.60 per IP or rotating from $2.50 to $3.75 per GB. KnoxProxy sells ISP proxies at $2.90/IP flat with unlimited bandwidth instead of per-GB metering.
Rayobyte splits traffic across five products: static and rotating datacenter, static and rotating ISP, residential, and mobile. List which product each script uses before swapping anything, since KnoxProxy prices every proxy type by the gigabyte instead of by IP. Most teams run both providers in parallel for about a week, comparing per-target success, before cutting over fully.
Nothing beyond the gateway host and credentials changes -- the underlying proxy protocol (HTTP/S and SOCKS5) is the same, so your existing scraping code, retry logic, and session handling keep working as-is. Most teams simply point requests at gw.knoxproxy.com and run both providers in parallel for a few days before cutting over fully.
Yes. Enterprise plans include signed MSAs, standard invoicing, committed-use volume discounts, and a named account manager once usage passes 1 TB/mo. Below that threshold, every account still gets self-serve PAYG pricing, 2xx-only billing, and 24/7 live chat support, so enterprise-grade terms and everyday self-serve billing sit on the same platform.
