Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what Caiji (采集蜂) publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.
Caiji (采集蜂) on the record
The company behind the name sits at caiji.com.
What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for Caiji (采集蜂). Rather than print a figure we cannot stand behind, this page leaves it out and tells you what to look for when you read their page yourself.
Their pricing page will answer three of the four questions that matter. Send an email for the fourth, which is usually whether blocked requests are billed, and keep the reply.
What is on their front page
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "采集蜂代理-静态网络加速,HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5代理".
Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:
The product lines named on that page are SOCKS5. Their pricing page is titled "采集蜂代理-静态网络加速,HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5代理".
Treat all of it as advertising, because it is. Its value is that it is dated and quotable, which is more than most comparison pages offer.
Longevity, on the public record
The domain was registered on 13 February 2001, through eName Technology Co., Ltd, which makes it about 25 years old. Registry data as of 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from March 2001. It is paid up until 13 February 2027.
Read that as a floor rather than a recommendation. Longevity says somebody has kept paying the registrar, and in a market with this much churn that is worth ten seconds of your attention.
Where published figures stop being useful
Who else is using your address
A shared address arrives with a history you did not create and cannot see. For read-only work it rarely matters. For anything that keeps a session, it is the most common cause of unexplained failure.
The line item hidden in the success rate
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.
What actually caps your throughput
Rate limits are often enforced per account rather than per plan, which means buying more traffic does not raise them. Confirm how yours scales before you assume a bigger plan runs faster.
A comparison that admits what it cannot say
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Caiji (采集蜂) | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Check the current terms, this one moves | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Not published clearly, ask before paying | None |
| Identity checks | On their own terms page | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Read their current terms | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
The ten minute version of this decision
For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.
- Start with the smallest purchase each vendor allows, so the test costs less than the decision it replaces.
- Use your own scraper and your own target. A benchmark against a neutral site measures nothing you will experience.
- Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
- Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
- Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.
