Nothing here is a hit piece. Hideoxy has customers who are well served by it, and this page says which ones. It also says where we think the model costs a buyer money.
What we can and cannot tell you about Hideoxy
The company behind the name sits at hideoxy.com. We carry them as a free proxy list.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for Hideoxy 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.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 3 August 2013, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 13 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 9 September 2026. Their registration is booked through 3 August 2027.
Read that as a floor rather than a recommendation. Longevity says somebody has kept paying the registrar, and in a market with this much churn that is worth ten seconds of your attention.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
Logging, and who can read it
A service with no stated retention period has one anyway, and it is whatever their hosting provider does by default. Absence of a policy is a policy, and usually not the one you would choose.
Why the pool number is the least useful figure
Nobody audits pool totals in this market, and the counting rules differ between vendors. Even an accurate figure describes addresses that exist, not addresses you will be routed through. Treat it as a marketing unit rather than a capability.
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.
What separates them, in a table
The rows below are the ones that change what you pay and whether the job runs:
| Question to ask | Hideoxy | 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 | 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 |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
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.
- Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
- 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.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.
The other names that come up
Other providers in the same bracket, priced and dated the same way:
- ProxySpace alternatives
- PubProxy alternatives
- Socks 24 alternatives
- Socks-Proxy.net alternatives
- Spys.me alternatives
- SSLProxies alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
We are the pay as you go option in this market. Residential from $0.44 per GB, ISP and datacenter per address, mobile alongside them, all from one balance with nothing to forfeit. That model wins on irregular volume and loses on very large steady volume, which is worth knowing before you test.
