Cheap residential proxies may seem appealing, but they come with significant drawbacks. These low-cost providers often have smaller networks, limited geographic coverage, slower performance, and lack robust security and customer support. While they might save money upfront, they risk exposing users to privacy issues and technical challenges. Premium providers, on the other hand, offer more reliable networks, better features, and stronger security, making them a better long-term investment for privacy-conscious users and businesses.
