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.

Residential proxies

We compete with HexProxy, so treat every line below as coming from an interested party. What follows is the record we hold, the questions their marketing page does not answer, and a test you can run yourself that outranks this page and every other review.

Everything we can stand behind

Their site is hexproxy.com.

We have no verified current rate for HexProxy on file. Printing a guess would make this page worse than useless, so the price row below is empty and the reading list is not.

When you do read it, note four things: the rate you actually qualify for today, the minimum purchase, whether unused balance expires, and whether failed requests are billed. Those four decide the real cost more than the headline does.

The site, as it reads today

The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "Hex Proxies - Residential and ISP Proxies, 99.9% Uptime Target". Their meta description, the sentence Google shows under the link, says: "Residential proxies from 150+ countries. ISP proxies on Comcast, Frontier, Windstream and RCN across Ashburn VA, New York and San Francisco. 99.9% uptime target, instant activation."

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

The product lines named on that page are residential, ISP or static residential and SOCKS5. They advertise 150 countries or locations. Payment methods mentioned: crypto and cards. The page offers some form of free trial. Support is advertised as around the clock. A refund or money-back term is mentioned. Their pricing page is titled "Pricing - Hex Proxies, Residential and ISP Proxy Plans".

That is the vendor speaking, not us. We print it because a claim with a date attached is at least falsifiable.

Age, and why it matters here

The domain was registered on 1 April 2018, through Squarespace Domains II LLC, which makes it about 8 years old. Checked against the registry on 23 April 2026. The registration currently runs to 1 April 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.

What you still do not know after reading their site

Ask what happens to unused balance

Find out whether unspent traffic rolls over, expires, or expires only on some plans. The answer changes the effective rate by more than most of the price differences buyers spend their time arguing about.

The rate behind the sales call

The lowest published rate in this market usually sits behind a monthly commitment measured in thousands. Quoting it beside a pay as you go rate is not a comparison. Compare the rate you can reach today.

The limit that stops the job

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.

The two of us, on the questions that matter

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. Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.

The rest of the shortlist

Buyers comparing this name usually have two or three of these open in other tabs:

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

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.
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.

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.
