I'm looking for some good residential proxy providers that cater to users who just need a few IPs for testing purposes. Most plans seem geared towards large-scale scraping operations, which isn't what I need. Any recommendations?

If you're okay with some cloud options, you might want to check out Google Cloud. You can reserve IPs for around $3 a month. It does require setting up a little server for routing, but it’s manageable!
IPRoyal has worked well for me. You can load your account with $10 or $20, and it'll last based on your usage. It's pretty straightforward!
I totally get your situation; I faced the same issue recently. Instead of going for those big plans, I looked for options where I could start small without locking in a lot of cash. Sticking to static IPs for testing makes things easier too! You might want to ask around in Discord communities; I found people really helpful there.
Yeah, I've found some great resources and recommendations in there too!
I'm currently using Proxy Cheap, and their prices are pretty good. The IP pool seems decent as well. Also, check out Geonode or Webshare; they might have what you need!
You could always just use your home internet connection! If you need a new IP, try unplugging your modem for about five minutes, and you should get a new one when you plug it back in.
That’s a good tip! Discord communities can really clarify things.
