A comparison written by a competitor is worth reading only if it says where the competitor loses. That rule shapes this page about Cop.guru, and the last section names the reader who should stay put.
What we can and cannot tell you about Cop.guru
Cop.guru operates from cop.guru.
What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for Cop.guru. 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.
Note the price, the unit it is quoted in, the minimum, and the expiry. Unit and expiry are where most comparisons in this market quietly go wrong.
What Cop.guru says about itself today
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "Cop Guru • Sneaker Bots, Cook Group Monitors, ATC Service, Proxies, Servers". Their own summary of the product runs: "Sneaker Bots, Cook Group Monitors, ATC Service, Proxies, Servers"
What else that page states, without interpretation:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, mobile and SOCKS5. 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.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 8 September 2019, through Spaceship, Inc, which makes it about 7 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from August 2020. Their registration is booked through 8 September 2026.
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.
What the timestamps show
Our crawl of their site found 372 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from November 2019 and the newest from October 2025. 20 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
An actively maintained site is table stakes rather than a recommendation. It does rule out the failure that costs buyers the most here, which is prepaying a company that has quietly stopped.
Where published figures stop being useful
The expiry question
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.
What the lowest rate actually costs
Treat a required call with a salesperson as a cost. It delays the work, it usually arrives with an annual term attached, and it exists because the published price is negotiable in one direction only.
What actually caps your throughput
Bandwidth is rarely the constraint on a real workload. Concurrent connections, requests per second and per-session caps are, and they are frequently buried in the documentation rather than the pricing page.
A comparison that admits what it cannot say
The rows below are the ones that change what you pay and whether the job runs:
| Question to ask | Cop.guru | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | On their own terms page | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Read their current terms | None |
| Identity checks | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | 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 |
Nothing in that table settles the decision on its own. It narrows the field to two or three, and then measurement finishes the job.
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.
- Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.
The other names that come up
Other providers in the same bracket, priced and dated the same way:
- onesproxy.com alternatives
- OneVPN alternatives
- Openproxylist alternatives
- Overplay alternatives
- Owlproxy alternatives
- PacketFlip alternatives
Where HProxy sits in that test
We sell residential proxies from $0.44 per GB with no subscription and a balance that does not expire, plus ISP, mobile and datacenter in the same account. That is the pitch, and the test above is a better judge of it than this paragraph.
