IPRoyal is a global provider of residential, mobile, ISP, and data center proxies, committed to enabling a more open and connected internet. With a network of 34+ million IP addresses across 195 countries, we deliver reliable, high-quality proxy solutions for online privacy, web scraping, social media management, and unrestricted internet access.
Since our founding in 2021, IPRoyal has challenged an industry dominated by legacy players by addressing two key gaps: a lack of educational resources and limited customer-centric solutions. As a result, our U.S. revenue grew 375% from 2023 to 2024.
To bridge industry gaps, we released 50+ educational videos and 100 in-depth articles in 2024 alone, equipping users with accurate, well-tested insights to navigate the proxy space.
We’ve also built our brand on trust. While proxies power countless legitimate applications—from data acquisition and travel fare aggregation to AI-driven solutions—misconceptions and misuse persist. To ensure ethical use, we enforce strict policies to block sensitive targets, implement Know Your Customer and Business (KYC/KYB) verification, and maintain 24/7 monitoring to prevent misuse.
Additionally, we prioritize pricing transparency. Pay-as-you-go plans eliminate rigid subscriptions, and have no expiration dates and traffic rollover, ensuring customers only pay for what they need.

In 2024, IPRoyal experienced a record-breaking year fueled by strong enterprise adoption and growing market demand. We reached major milestones in customer growth, workforce expansion, and revenue, solidifying our position as a leading and fast-growing tech company.
With a 48% year-over-year revenue increase, we welcomed 450+ new clients and grew our total IP address count by 57%. To support this rapid expansion, we doubled our workforce to 80 employees and increased our server capacity by more than 40%.
Today, IPRoyal serves over 200,000 clients across 170+ countries, powering nearly 100,000 PB of data through our global proxy network. The U.S. alone accounts for 37% of IPRoyal’s IP addresses.
Continuing our commitment to innovation, IPRoyal also introduced several key advancements in 2024:
-
Enhanced User Experience: A new browser extension allows users to seamlessly create and switch between multiple proxy profiles with a single click. Customers can now log in directly from the extension, configure proxy settings, change residential proxy locations, and access additional features-all without visiting the website.
-
Seamless Integration Improvements: IPRoyal expanded its API documentation, adding Java, Go, and C# code, in addition to cURL, PHP, Python, and Node.js, to ensure streamlined automation and faster deployment of projects.
-
Strengthened Security Measures: We enhanced our fraud prevention algorithm to provide even greater protection for sensitive financial transactions. IPRoyal upholds the highest legal and ethical standards in the industry.
By prioritizing transparency, flexibility, and performance, IPRoyal continues to set new industry benchmarks and achieve incredible growth.
- If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this third question: Explain why the achievements you have highlighted are unique or significant. If possible compare the achievements to the performance of other players in your industry and/or to the organization's past performance (up to 250 words):

Four years ago, we launched IPRoyal in a market dominated by well-established industry veterans. At first glance, the space seemed saturated—major players had strong brand recognition and a full suite of services. However, we saw an unmet need in the industry and our exponential growth since 2023 has proven we were onto something.
Proxies can be complex for end-users, and many legacy providers catered exclusively to large companies with the resources to navigate implementation on their own. We took a different approach, recognizing that businesses of all sizes could benefit from proxies but often lacked the knowledge or tools to integrate them effectively. This demand has only grown with the rise of AI, where web scraping plays a vital role in gathering the data that powers AI models.
To bridge this gap, we developed a robust educational content strategy—including in-depth guides, step-by-step integration tutorials, and coding examples tailored to various software and programming languages.
Our commitment to providing top notch customer service has earned us recognition from G2, Crozdesk, and SourceForge. We also take pride in delivering a transparency, reliability, and customer-centric solution that meets a wide range of customer needs—from data gathering and social networking to retail intelligence. With flexible, customizable pricing, we serve Fortune 500 companies, solopreneurs, and everyone in between.
Many players in the proxy market fail to uphold the same ethical standards we do, continue to rely on rigid subscription-based models that don’t align with customer needs, and struggle to match our reliability or technological innovation.
