There are two honest ways to compare proxy providers. Read both pricing pages carefully and match the units, or run the same batch through both and count. This page does the first and tells you how to do the second.
What is on file for Astroproxy
Their site is astroproxy.com. Category, as we track it: proxy provider.
There is no price in this comparison because we do not have one we can date and attribute. What follows instead is the set of questions that decide the cost once you do read their page.
Find the rate available with no commitment, then find the cheapest rate and what it costs to reach. The distance between those two tells you what kind of vendor you are dealing with.
The site, as it reads today
On 9 September 2026 the site introduced itself as "Buy Residential, Mobile & Datacenter Proxies, Astro - #1 Proxy Provider 2026". In the description they hand to search engines: "★ 50M+ rotating proxies from $2/GB ★ Residential, 4G/5G mobile & datacenter proxies in 100+ countries. 99.9% uptime. Pay-as-you-go. Get $3 FREE credit → Start now!"
What else that page states, without interpretation:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 100 countries or locations. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Proxy Pricing, Up to 45% OFF, From $2/GB, Astro".
Those are claims, and claims are free. They earn their place here only because the date makes them checkable later.
How long Astroproxy has been trading
The domain was registered on 17 July 2018, through Internet Domain Service BS Corp, which makes it about 8 years old. The lookup behind those dates ran on 23 April 2026. As things stand the domain is held to 17 July 2026.
This proves nothing about the product. It is a cheap check against the one failure mode that costs buyers real money in this market, which is paying a provider that will not exist in six months.
Their published surface
A crawl of 59 pages returned 3 pricing pages and 8 use-case pages.
The number is not a compliment or a criticism. It describes how much of their effort goes into being found, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a marketing claim against a measurement.
How recently the site moved
Our crawl of their site found 13 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from March 2026 and the newest from March 2026. 13 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Read that as a liveness check rather than a review. It says the lights are on, and nothing about whether the proxies work on your target.
What people actually search about Astroproxy
Search volume around the name runs to 20 a month, split as 10 a month for an alternative to them and 10 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
The biggest slice is people looking for a way out, so the useful thing to hand a reader is evidence rather than an opinion.
What a pricing page leaves out
Money you paid for and did not spend
Find out whether unspent traffic rolls over, expires, or expires only on some plans. The answer changes the effective rate by more than most of the price differences buyers spend their time arguing about.
Minimums, contracts and sales calls
The lowest published rate in this market usually sits behind a monthly commitment measured in thousands. Quoting it beside a pay as you go rate is not a comparison. Compare the rate you can reach today.
Ask whether failed requests are billed
Some vendors bill every request, some bill only successful ones, and the difference is the whole comparison once a target starts blocking. A cheap rate with a fifty percent success rate is twice its advertised price.
The rows that decide it
Set the two side by side on the questions that decide the outcome, rather than on feature counts:
| Question to ask | Astroproxy | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | None |
| Identity checks | Read their current terms | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Read their current terms | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Six rows is enough. Longer comparison tables in this market are usually padded with features nobody chooses on, which makes them look thorough and read as noise.
What to do instead of reading more comparisons
The steps below take about ten minutes and settle the question properly.
- Put a few dollars on each account. Trials are fine for a first look, but paid traffic is what you will actually be buying.
- Run them against the site you actually care about, using the code you actually run, within the same hour.
- Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
- Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
- Choose on the measurement, not the marketing, and expect the answer to change within a year.
