Didsoft alternatives when the list stops refreshing

Weighing up Didsoft? What is actually published, what it does not tell you, and how to settle the decision on your own target for a few dollars.

Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

The useful question is never whether Didsoft is good. It is whether it fits the job you are about to run, on your target, this month. A free proxy list that suits one workload is wrong for the next one.

Everything we can stand behind

Didsoft trades at didsoft.com. They compete with us as a free proxy list.

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.

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.

The site, as it reads today

On 9 September 2026 the site introduced itself as "Didsoft Limited". The description they publish for search engines reads: "About Didsoft Company"

What else that page states, without interpretation:

The product lines named on that page are SOCKS5. The page offers some form of free trial. 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.

Age, and why it matters here

The domain was registered on 19 January 2013, through Cloudflare, Inc, which makes it about 13 years old. We pulled that from the registry on 9 September 2026. The current registration term ends 19 January 2027.

None of it predicts success rate. It is here because domain age and archive depth are free to check, and a provider whose public record starts last quarter deserves a smaller first order.

The questions behind the numbers

Shared or dedicated changes everything

Ask how many accounts can sit on one address at once. Where the answer is unlimited or unspecified, price the plan as shared regardless of what the product is called.

The country total, and the country you use

Country totals are counted generously across this whole market. A country with a handful of addresses counts the same as one with hundreds of thousands. If your work depends on one location, test that location before you switch.

The response time nobody advertises

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.

What to do instead of reading more comparisons

The steps below take about ten minutes and settle the question properly.

  1. Fund both accounts with the least money each will accept, and note what that minimum was, because it is part of the comparison.
  2. Aim both at the page that matters to you rather than a test endpoint, and keep every other variable fixed.
  3. Record the success rate and the data consumed for the identical batch on each side.
  4. Check some of the addresses yourself for country, ASN and type before you trust the label on the plan.
  5. Go with whichever performed, then measure again next quarter. Networks change underneath you.

Where else buyers look

If this one does not fit, these are the nearest comparable providers we have written up, each on the same terms as this page.

Where we fit

For completeness: residential from $0.44 per GB, city and ISP targeting included, no monthly minimum, and a balance that stays where you left it. We are a good fit for uneven workloads and a poor one for anybody who wants a signed enterprise agreement.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a Didsoft alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
What does Didsoft advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for Didsoft, so this page does not print one. Read their own pricing page for the rate, the minimum and the commitment, and note the date you read it, because all three move.
How do I compare two providers fairly?
Match the units first, because residential is billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, and mobile per day or per port. Then compare the rate you can actually reach today rather than the volume tier behind a commitment. Finish by measuring the success rate on your own target, since a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works.
Is a cheaper provider usually worse?
Not reliably. Price in this market reflects the supply model and the sales overhead as much as the network. What price does not tell you is the success rate on your target, and that is the figure that decides whether the cheaper option was cheap or expensive. Measure before assuming either way.
Why do free proxy lists stop working so quickly?
Because the addresses on them are mostly misconfigured devices that get fixed, or short-lived hosts that get shut down. We measure this on our own free network: of 589918 addresses discovered, 4023 were answering at the last check. A list without a check date is telling you nothing about today.

Proxies that don't die mid-job

Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
