Geekflare sits in a market where the advertised number and the number you pay are frequently different, because tiers, minimums and expiry all sit between them. Untangling that is most of the work here.
Geekflare on the record
Geekflare operates from geekflare.com.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for Geekflare recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
Their pricing page will answer three of the four questions that matter. Send an email for the fourth, which is usually whether blocked requests are billed, and keep the reply.
What is on their front page
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Geekflare, Crawl, Scrape and Search API for AI Agents". Their own summary of the product runs: "Turn the chaotic web into clean Markdown. Access a suite of APIs to feed your legacy and AI apps without the infrastructure overhead."
The rest of what the page puts in writing:
The product lines named on that page are a scraping or SERP API. Payment methods mentioned: cards. Their pricing page is titled "Geekflare Pricing".
Treat all of it as advertising, because it is. Its value is that it is dated and quotable, which is more than most comparison pages offer.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 7 January 2015, through Cloudflare, Inc, which makes it about 11 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 9 September 2026. Their registration is booked through 7 January 2028.
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.
How much site there is
A crawl of 40 pages returned 1 pricing page, 5 use-case pages and 1 integration page.
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.
What the timestamps show
Our crawl of their site found 40 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from July 2026 and the newest from August 2026. 40 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Recent dates prove somebody is still at the keyboard. They prove nothing about the network, which is what the test at the end of this page is for.
The demand around this name
Google reports 10 searches a month worldwide across the terms carrying this brand: 10 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
Most of that demand is people checking whether to trust it. That is what this page is written for, and it is why the sections above lead with what is published rather than with a verdict.
Where published figures stop being useful
The reputation you inherit
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.
Ask whether failed requests are billed
On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.
Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling
A plan with generous traffic and a low thread limit is a slow plan. Find both numbers before you size anything, because the smaller of the two is your actual ceiling.
A comparison that admits what it cannot say
The rows that matter, with our own answers stated plainly:
| Question to ask | Geekflare | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Not published clearly, ask before paying | None |
| Identity checks | On their own terms page | 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 |
Every unfilled cell above is a question to put to them directly, in writing, before money changes hands. Vendors answer those questions readily; comparison sites guess at them.
A test worth more than this comparison
Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.
- 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.
- Measure what came back correctly and what it consumed, then divide the spend by the successes.
- Push a sample of exit addresses through an independent checker and confirm the country and connection type are what was advertised.
- Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- BestProxyReviews alternatives
- Betasocks alternatives
- BetProxies alternatives
- Betternet alternatives
- BigMama alternatives
- BirdProxies alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
HProxy suits buyers who want to add funds, send traffic and stop thinking about it. Residential from $0.44 per GB, no commitment, nothing expiring. Buyers who need procurement paperwork and a named account manager are better served elsewhere, and we would rather say so here than waste your afternoon.
