There are two honest ways to compare free proxy lists. 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.
Everything we can stand behind
Their site is checkerproxy.net. Category, as we track it: free proxy list.
We have no verified current rate for CheckerProxy on file. Printing a guess would make this page worse than useless, so the price row below is empty and the reading list is not.
Check the reachable rate, the minimum, the expiry terms and the failure billing, and date your note. A price without those four attached is not a price.
Their own description, read this week
The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "Proxy checker with the cleanest rating". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Online proxy checker for testing availability, anonymity, and speed. Supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5. Free proxy test!"
Also on the page, stated plainly:
We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
Nothing there has been tested. It is a record of what the page said on the day, which is the honest limit of what a page like this can offer without a measurement.
How far back the record goes
The domain was registered on 18 August 2011, through Namespro Solutions Inc, which makes it about 15 years old. We pulled that from the registry on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from September 2011. The current registration term ends 18 August 2028.
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.
The operator, and why it matters
We checked this one by hand on 6 September 2026. It is a checker and a list, and we record the operator as independent. Evidence recorded: 200, title "Proxy checker with the cleanest rating". Biggest brand volume of the independents after proxyscrape.
It appears to be independently operated. That is the better case for neutrality, and it says nothing about whether the addresses work.
The Internet Archive has it from 23 September 2011 to 3 January 2026, about 16 years of coverage. The domain was registered 18 August 2011 through Namespro Solutions Inc.
Every list in this category has the same underlying problem, which is decay. We measure it on our own network and publish it: 4023 alive right now out of 589918 ever discovered, median lifespan 145 hours. A list is only as good as its last check.
The questions behind the numbers
Why an old benchmark is wrong
Pools are rebuilt, suppliers change and detection improves. A provider that beat the field last spring may be mid-table now. Nothing in this market stays true long enough to buy once and stop measuring.
Coverage in the one country you need
Almost every provider claims almost every country. What differs is depth, and depth decides whether a single city or a single carrier is usable. No published figure tells you that.
Support is a product feature
Support quality is invisible until it is the only thing that matters. A cheap provider that takes three days to answer a routing problem has cost you more than the saving, and no pricing page reveals that.
The comparison, honestly framed
Set the two side by side on the questions that decide the outcome, rather than on feature counts:
| Question to ask | CheckerProxy | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Read their current terms | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Check the current terms, this one moves | None |
| Identity checks | Their terms page answers this | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Check the current terms, this one moves | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Their terms page answers this | 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.
- Take the smallest paid unit each provider will sell you. A free trial works for a first pass, though trials sometimes ride better pools than paid plans do.
- Fire the same batch through both on one afternoon. Different days are different conditions, and that ruins the comparison.
- Track the success rate and the bandwidth. A cheap gigabyte that fails half the time is not cheap.
- Run a sample of the addresses through an independent lookup, because advertised geography and actual geography differ more often than the market admits.
- Go with whichever performed, then measure again next quarter. Networks change underneath you.
Comparable providers
We hold the same record for these, and the same honest limits apply to each:
- Live Socks alternatives
- monosans proxy-list (GitHub) alternatives
- My-Proxy alternatives
- NNTime alternatives
- PremProxy alternatives
- Proxifly (GitHub) alternatives
Our own position
Residential starts at $0.44 per GB, the balance never expires, there is no minimum commitment and no sales call, and city and ISP targeting are included. We publish our free side openly, 129,131,311 verification checks and counting, because a network that is confident has no reason to fear measurement.
