Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for IPRoyal yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated IPRoyal across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Bright Data, IPRoyal, and FloppyData are most often considered the best providers in 2025” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · first choice

“1. IPRoyal - Best for Very Tight Budgets ($0-100/month)” Kimi K2 · Proxy and web data · budget prompt · first choice

“IPRoyal: Affordable (34M+ ethical IPs, 40+ countries). Rotating/sticky sessions, city-level targeting. Good for small-medium use.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · alternative

“one of the cheaper residential proxy providers that also offers affordable private datacenter, ISP and mobile addresses” Muse Glimmer 30B · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Providers with Red Flags: IPRoyal: Removed from some recommendation lists due to concerns about fake reviews and transparency issues.” Mistral Small · Proxy and web data · negative prompt · hard negative

“This provider has a strong number of severe warnings regarding deceptive marketing.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Proxy and web data · negative prompt · hard negative

“Lower performance benchmarks (90% success rate, slower response times ~3.7s), limited city/country targeting” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · soft negative

“More straightforward and budget-oriented, but less ideal if you need a more robust mid-market setup” Perplexity Sonar · Proxy and web data · direct prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named IPRoyal. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 61 of the 63 answers that named IPRoyal and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page iproyal.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as IPRoyal

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as IPRoyal; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when IPRoyal's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as IPRoyal, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for IPRoyal by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where IPRoyal is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name IPRoyal, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
