Overview
Every row is a measured result from our benchmark. The better value in each row is highlighted. Where our 95% confidence intervals don't separate the two results, we don't call a winner and leave the row unmarked.
| Metric | Floppydata | Rayobyte |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per 1,000 successful requests Money spent on traffic divided by successful requests lower is better | $0.019 | $0.066 |
| Price per GB (as paid) What we paid per GB for the package we bought lower is better | $1.00/GB 50 GB, 30 days | $3.50/GB 2 GB |
| Fraud Score (avg, 0–100) Scamalytics risk score, averaged over 300 sampled IPs lower is better | 3.0 | 4.4 |
| Residential / ISP IPs (by ASN) Not flagged as datacenter and not on a hosting network (ASN check) higher is better | 99.0% 95% CI 97.1–99.7 | 95.0% 95% CI 91.9–96.9 |
| Geo Accuracy Exit IP was in the country we requested (Cloudflare database) higher is better | 99.8% 95% CI 99.7–99.8 | 98.9% 95% CI 98.7–99.0 |
| Latency, median Full request time on successful requests: connect, tunnel, TLS, response lower is better | 0.93 s | 1.45 s |
| Latency, P90 9 in 10 successful requests were at least this fast lower is better | 1.76 s | 3.00 s |
| Duplicate Rate Successful requests that reused an IP already seen lower is better | 11.7% | 22.5% |
| Proxy Detection Rate Share of 300 sampled IPs that Scamalytics flags as a proxy lower is better | 60.7% 95% CI 55.0–66.0 | 59.3% 95% CI 53.7–64.7 |
| Amazon success rate A real search page came back, not a CAPTCHA or challenge (no browser, no JavaScript) higher is better | 49.4% 95% CI 47.2–51.7 | 51.1% 95% CI 48.9–53.4 |
| Wikipedia success rate Control target without anti-bot protection higher is better | 98.6% 95% CI 98.2–98.8 | 99.6% 95% CI 99.4–99.7 |
| Success Rate Rotating requests that got a valid answer, 25,200 per provider higher is better | 98.0% 95% CI 97.8–98.2 | 99.7% 95% CI 99.6–99.8 |
| Sticky Session Stability 30-minute sessions that kept one IP and answered at least 90% of checks. Floppydata: only sessions in the format from its official documentation (264; 312 for the others) higher is better | 47.3% 95% CI 41.4–53.4 | 70.2% 95% CI 64.9–75.0 |
How we tested. We bought a residential package from each of 12 providers and ran the same scripts from three servers (USA, Germany, Singapore) on 5–8 October 2026: 25,200 rotating requests per provider, plus Amazon and Wikipedia, sticky-session and IP-quality tests. Prices are as paid for each package.

Benchmark Results
Tested by Floppydata, 5–8 October 2026. Each bar is scaled to the highest value among all 12 tested providers.
Pros & Cons
Ranked against all 12 providers we tested, not only these two. A pro is a top-third result (places 1–4 of 12), a con a bottom-third result (places 9–12), so both providers can share a pro. For the head-to-head result, see the Overview table.

In Our Benchmark
How each provider did overall, from the provider-by-provider notes of the full benchmark.
98.0% Success Rate, 0.93 s median latency, a Duplicate Rate of 11.7%, and the lowest sticky stability in the test (47.3%). Cost per Successful Request is among the three lowest ($0.019 per 1,000). We operate this provider; see the disclosure above.
99.7% Success Rate, but the slowest median latency (1.45 s) and the highest Duplicate Rate (22.5%). Lowest Proxy Detection Rate (59.3%) and the largest share of datacenter-flagged IPs (4.3%).
Floppydata vs Rayobyte: Which Is Better?

- Best for lowest cost per request Floppydata
- Best for speed (median latency) Floppydata
- Best for fresh IPs (duplicate rate) Floppydata
- Best for fewer proxy flags Too close to call
- Best for success rate Rayobyte
- Best for sticky sessions Rayobyte
