Looking past DreamProxies? Match the units, find the expiry clause, then measure success rate on your own target. This page covers all three.

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.

A web proxy comparison is only as good as its dates. Prices, pools and policies all move, so every number below carries the day it was read, and anything we could not read is marked as unverified rather than filled in.

What we know about DreamProxies, and what we do not

Their site is dreamproxies.com. Category, as we track it: web proxy.

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.

The four figures worth copying down are the rate without a commitment, the smallest purchase allowed, what happens to unspent balance, and whether a failed request still costs money.

The site, as it reads today

The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "Cheapest USA Elite Private Proxies - Buy Now with 50% DISCOUNT! - DreamProxies.com Private Elite Proxies". Their own summary of the product runs: "50% OFF - For All Private Proxies! DreamProxies - Cheapest USA Elite Private Proxies! + FREE PROXIES With Bigger Proxy Plans! Volume Discounts Lifetime Savings Best Proxy Prices"

The rest of what the page puts in writing:

Payment methods mentioned: PayPal. Support is advertised as around the clock. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Pricing - Cheapest USA Elite Private Proxies - Buy Now with 50% DISCOUNT!".

Every line above is a quotation from their marketing rather than a measurement by us. It is included because it is checkable, not because it is evidence of performance.

How long DreamProxies has been trading

The domain was registered on 30 September 2015, through Dynadot Inc, which makes it about 10 years old. We pulled that from the registry on 9 September 2026. The current registration term ends 30 September 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.

What our crawl found

A crawl of 2.732 pages returned 2 blog pages, 1 pricing page and 1 location page.

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.

Whether anyone is still working on it

Our crawl of their site found 2,732 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from October 2015 and the newest from July 2026. 68 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 DreamProxies

Search volume around the name runs to 10 a month, split as 10 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.

The biggest slice is people checking whether to trust it, so the useful thing to hand a reader is evidence rather than an opinion.

What a pricing page leaves out

The privacy question worth asking

A service with no stated retention period has one anyway, and it is whatever their hosting provider does by default. Absence of a policy is a policy, and usually not the one you would choose.

A verdict has a shelf life

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.

Shared or dedicated changes everything

An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.

The rows that decide it

Six questions, both answers, and an honest blank where we do not hold a current figure:

Question to askDreamProxiesHProxy

Read the table as a list of questions rather than a scoreboard. The answers on their side move, and the row that decides the outcome, success rate on your target, is not printable by anyone.

The test that beats this page

It is a small amount of money for an answer that is actually about your target.

  1. Put a few dollars on each account. Trials are fine for a first look, but paid traffic is what you will actually be buying.
  2. Run them against the site you actually care about, using the code you actually run, within the same hour.
  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. Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.

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.

What we sell, stated plainly

Our position is narrow. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no subscription, no expiry on the balance, and a public record of what our free network actually does. A provider unwilling to be measured is telling you something, and so is one that asks to be.

Frequently asked questions

How is HProxy different?
The models differ more than the products do. HProxy is pay as you go from a balance you top up when you want, the balance does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and residential starts at $0.44 per GB with city and ISP targeting included. Whether that beats a tiered plan depends on your usage pattern, which a short test settles.
Do I have to talk to sales or sign a contract to switch?
Not with us. You can sign up, add funds and send traffic without a call, a minimum or a subscription. Whether another provider requires any of those is on their own pricing page and is worth reading, because a required commitment is part of the price even when it is not part of the rate.
How often should I re-test a provider?
Quarterly is a reasonable rhythm for most workloads, and immediately after a noticeable drop in success rate. Pools are rebuilt, suppliers change and detection improves, so a benchmark from last year describes a network that no longer exists.
Does a bigger pool mean better results?
No. Your job meets only the exits it draws, in the countries it needs, against one target's defences. Freshness and rotation policy move the outcome far more than the headline total, and pool totals across this market are counted generously and rarely audited.
Are free web proxies safe to log in through?
Treat them as unsafe for anything involving an account. A web proxy sits between you and the site and can read and alter what passes through it, and many are funded by advertising injected into the pages they serve. Use them for reading, not for signing in.

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.
