Most pages titled "Floppydata alternative" are affiliate lists with the payout order baked in. This one is written by a rival, which is a different bias and an easier one to correct for, because you can check every number we print.
What we can and cannot tell you about Floppydata
The domain is floppydata.com.
What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for Floppydata. 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.
Copy down the entry rate, the commitment attached to the cheapest rate, the minimum top-up and the expiry rule. Those four turn a marketing figure into something you can compare.
How Floppydata presents itself
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "Floppydata Premium Proxy Provider , Residential, Mobile, ISP and Datacenter Proxies". Their own summary of the product runs: "Floppydata provides premium residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter proxies for web scraping, automation, SEO, ad verification and privacy. 195+ countries, transparent pricing from $1/GB and 24/7 human support."
Also on the page, stated plainly:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile, SOCKS5, IPv6 and a scraping or SERP API. They advertise 190 countries or locations. Their pricing page is titled "Proxy and Web Access Pricing , Floppydata".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
Longevity, on the public record
The domain was registered on 4 May 2022, through Cloudflare, Inc, which makes it about 4 years old. That record was read from the registry on 23 April 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 4 May 2027.
Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.
Related domains on file: floppydata.ai. Confirm which one you are buying from, since terms occasionally differ between them.
How much site there is
We crawled 1.776 pages of their site and found 910 blog pages, 7 pricing pages, 361 location pages, 232 use-case pages and 3 integration pages.
Read it as a map of what they emphasise. It is our count, from our crawler, on the date shown, and it is the only figure on this page that neither of us can dispute.
The parts no marketing page answers
The reputation you inherit
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.
Ask whether failed requests are billed
Divide the spend by the successful responses, not by the requests sent. That single change reorders most price comparisons in this market, and your accounting will use it eventually anyway.
Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling
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.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
The table answers what we can answer and marks what we cannot:
| Question to ask | Floppydata | 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 | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Their terms page answers this | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Check the current terms, this one moves | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
We would rather show an incomplete table than a confident wrong one. Anything we could not source is left for you to read at the source, with the date you read it.
How to settle it yourself in ten minutes
Run this before you commit any volume. It replaces every opinion on this page, including ours.
- Buy the minimum each side offers. Prefer a small paid batch over a trial, because trial traffic does not always ride the same pool.
- Send an identical workload through each: same target, same tooling, same time of day, same request mix.
- Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
- Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.

Our side of it
HProxy is pay as you go from $0.44 per GB on residential, with ISP, mobile and datacenter under one balance and no commitment attached to any of them. Run the test. If we lose on your target, we lose, and you have your answer.
