Most pages titled "GloryCloud 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.
The record we hold
The company behind the name sits at glorycloud.com.
What we do not hold is a current, sourced price for GloryCloud. 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.
Look for the tier you would actually land in, not the one at the bottom of the table, and find the expiry and failed-request clauses before the rate impresses you.
What GloryCloud says about itself today
As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "GloryCloud (Formerly GoProxy), Proxies, Web Scraping and Data Solutions". In the description they hand to search engines: "GoProxy is now GloryCloud. Explore high-performance proxies, web scraping APIs, and global data services for scalable automation."
Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:
The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, ISP or static residential, mobile and a scraping or SERP API. They advertise 195 countries or locations. Their pricing page is titled "Pricing, Proxies, APIs and Data Solutions, GloryCloud (Formerly GoProxy)".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
What the registration record shows
The domain was registered on 26 May 2014, through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn), which makes it about 12 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 26 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.
The shape of their site
A crawl of 553 pages returned 339 blog pages, 11 pricing pages and 9 location 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 activity record
Our crawl of their site found 553 pages carrying a date, 339 of them articles. The oldest is from April 2026 and the newest from August 2026. 553 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 parts no marketing page answers
Ten million addresses, and none of them yours
Claims of ten million, one hundred million or more say nothing about whether your requests get through this week. Your job meets the handful of exits it draws, in your countries, against one target. Rotation policy and freshness move that outcome far more than the headline total.
The entry price is not the effective price
Rates in this market are quoted from the bottom of the table. The relevant question is which row you land on at your volume, and whether reaching a cheaper row costs more in commitment than it saves per unit.
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 | GloryCloud | 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.
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.
- 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.
