Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what Hide publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.
Hide on the record
Hide operates from hide.mn.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for Hide recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
Read their page for the reachable rate rather than the headline, the minimum spend, the expiry clause and the billing treatment of blocked requests. Write down the date, because all four move.
Where the interest in Hide goes
The Keyword Planner puts brand demand at 320 a month: 320 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
Weighted towards people checking whether to trust it. A comparison that ignores that and opens with a pitch has misread the room.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Every provider works when nothing is wrong. The difference shows up on the day a subnet gets flagged or a gateway stops answering. Before committing volume, send one real question through the support channel and time the reply.
Why an old benchmark is wrong
Supply changes hands quietly in this industry. The network behind a brand can be replaced with no announcement, which is why a benchmark is a perishable good and a re-test is cheap insurance.
What actually caps your throughput
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.
What separates them, in a table
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Hide | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Check the current terms, this one moves | 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 | Read their current terms | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
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.
- Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
- Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
- Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.

Where HProxy sits in that test
We sell residential proxies from $0.44 per GB with no subscription and a balance that does not expire, plus ISP, mobile and datacenter in the same account. That is the pitch, and the test above is a better judge of it than this paragraph.
